Sprouts have been planted!

Today was the day! First we took the plastic gloves out of the window where they'd been sprouting for nearly 3 weeks.

Then each boy labeled popsicle sticks with the names of the sprouts he was planting. We have peas, peppers, wildflowers, lima beans (ick), and basil.

Then came the reeeeeally tricky part.......pulling the seeds and roots off the wet cotton balls!

After they'd all been carefully planted, they were carefully watered by C, G, and L respectively.

Voila!

In other news, my hubby MADE his deadline this past Monday!! Praise the Lord! Actually, the deadline was really Saturday before Easter, as that is when the consultant flew to Japan with the completed software. He had to pull an all-nighter Friday night, but it is D.O.N.E. You have no idea how relieved I am! Today he went to the office for the first time in about 3 weeks and it was weird not having him home!

Also, I'm sorry I steered you wrong with the previous post about the space shuttle. Apparently it landed about an hour before we were supposed to see it travel across the sky! I went to nasa's website and they have an outdated schedule listed there. So that explains why we weren't able to see anything though we searched diligently for half an hour! Little Man was the most disappointed. He insisted on being wrapped in a blanket and held by his daddy the whole time, waiting expectantly. The next time the space shuttle is visible, he wants to get in a plane and fly up to meet it. :-)

Our daughter got her stitches out this morning. Based on our 4 hour wait two weeks ago when the injury first occurred, I packed up virtually our entire schoolroom, with plenty of snacks and activities for Little Man, and off we headed at 8:30 a.m. Wouldn't you know they had us in and out in 40 minutes! Her foot is very sore and looks bruised. The Dr was a little concerned about it. But the cut itself is definitely healed up enough for the stitches to be out. Now we put ointment on it, watch it and continue to pray for complete healing.
