Ella and I have been working really hard on gifts for her teachers (there are three in her classroom) since last week. I decided to do a pot with a painted face that when the plant grows it looks like hair. I really hope they like it because it has honestly been more work than I anticipated. A lot of that work involved multiple trips to different stores for things I forgot. Thursday is her last day of school before winter break.
First we had to paint the pots. I painted the faces but Ella did her own little design on the back of the pots. She takes painting very seriously.
Claire has done a lot of hanging out and watching us. She loves to watch her sister so it's been no skin off her back
This weekend we planted the seeds. I wanted grass but the lady at Lowes recommended peas and stated they would grow faster. At this point I am not believing her advice.
Ella stated she was going to wait and watch the peas grow. Thank God that she gave up quickly as I still don't see a sprout on the damn plants.
Today, sans sprouts, I finished up the last details to the pots. I made little sticks for the pots that say You Help Me Grow on one side and a picture of Ella on the other with a little ribbon that says Thank You. I am thinking tomorrow I may go buy wheat grass from Whole Foods so there is some hair for the pots.
