Robot

I asked E this morning if she was making a tower. She said no, its a bobot (aka robot). She loves Robots these days.

She was getting frustrated because her mound of items for her robot would always fall over. So we decided to hit up the recycling and see if we could make her a robot to play with.

It was nice to be able to use up lots of the junk stuff  I had left over from making her quiet book.

This robot is going footless- we were too eager to play to try and find feet for it!

 She really wanted it to have a necklace...

 Check up for the robot

Not too sure how long this robot will last....I have a feeling it's head will come off at any moment! 

Maybe Alex and his mad engineering skills can fix it up for us!

Reading & Tomatoes

We were trying to get E to come to the table for dinner but she insisted on finishing her book....

Elsa and I went out to check on the garden- so far it's looking pretty good.

bush beans-growing like crazy

Something is eating the leaves of this one.

 the first green pepper

We're getting lots of cherry and regular tomotoes- The animals have stayed clear of them so far (knock 

on wood)!

This tomato plant is going crazy- I think I need a bigger cage for it. Can I replace the cage without messing it up? 

It just seems so squished but I am scared to mess with it.

The only litte animal getting into my tomatoes is this one-

 I guess she thought it was ready to be picked!

 

                           Where's Elsa?

 that hiding spot never got old- we played that for a good 15 minutes!

This and That

Drawing- becoming a popular pastime

 She even practices using her feet!

She takes every chance she can to run through the hose....maybe a sprinkler would be better than a pool for her!

I know it is silly to get excited about the small growth of my plants, but I am just so glad to see that I can keep something alive and that it has not been gobbled up by some creature that has been wandering through our yard.

Elsa treating us to some of her singing....

bubbles, water, gardening, and more!

I take advantage of anytime that Elsa is having fun entertaining herself. Today I finished the vegetable garden because she was busy covering herself in bubbles! (we just have to get sand and hopefully she will keep busy in her new sandbox)

She then decided she wanted to help me dig in the dirt and we were both covered. I ended up just hosing her down outside with the hose.....

She especially like to drink from the hose!

She got a real bath too and I couldn't believe how long her hair is when it's wet...

This is my first time trying a vegetable garden.

I really don't know what I am doing, so I started small this year. I am keeping my fingers crossed that...

1. I don't kill everything
2. We actually get some tomatoes, peppers, green beans, and herbs out of them this summer.
3. I can keep these out of it (crossing fingers the liquid fence does the job)
