Twin help?

Here is the start.
You can see the "sour cream" container Rosi has in her hand. I fill it half way with water and she and her brother go to work.










Here you can see their destination. Unfortunately while we have great sprinklers for the grass, it does not hit the area that we planted the seedlings in.

Wow, our backyard looks really big when you see our two one-year-olds in it.







Here is their service! They are watering AnnaLisa's cabbage and Maggie's pumpkin. This is really not the time of year to be growing things, but these were both seeds given to the girls as part of a lesson in school/primary. You can see how big the cabbage has gotten. The pumpkin plant got as many as four flowers on it, but the April/May weather is really too hot for these plants.

This particular morning they went back and forth about a dozen times.

Airshow in April

We got a chance to check out some different aircraft. This first one is the insider of a bomber that had gone on about thirty missions and been in three movies.

Those are machine guns (on steroids I think) that my kids are standing next to.



This is a picture of all of us (just to prove that I do go on family outings!).

We have been planning activities based off of books we have read (or are reading). Come join us for the fun. Contact mom (Kristina 940-5276) if you'd like to come so she knows how much to make.
