I've Been Trying to Do More Fun Projects With My Kids

Mica {my oldest} is at the age where he likes to do arts and crafts. He'll be 6 in August. He's super smart, but so very selective. My husband tried planting seedlings in egg cartons with Mica's help. It ended with frustration because Mica would not listen to instruction. I think a big key thing with Mica is to try doing things with him during the day {when he's not tired}. It's also good to have Isaak {which is almost 3} out of the way.

I do have to say that I enjoy both kid's help in the kitchen. They take turns dumping in ingredients.

I'd like to give the whole gardening thing another try! Go Graham Go is hosting a great giveaway! Two Growums Kits are being given away! It's a garden kit for kids! My only problem would be what to choose!
