Posted in Before FIAR book activities

We continued our spring fun with the Before FIAR title The Carrot Seed. We also used a go-along from a Brighter Vision pack, Bear and Bunny Grow Tomatoes. We planted our own carrot and tomato seeds in big bins ... we're trying container gardening this year. (So far, it's much easier to keep watered and weeded, though the carrots never did sprout.)

We browsed YouTube looking at butterflies hatching, spurred on by a link posted on the FIAR forums, which was pretty cool. We missed storytime due to illness but still had plenty of fun.

Friday was the Webkinz Day celebration in stores, so we took a field trip with our friends Amy and Jennifer to our favorite Hallmark. (Unfortunately our accounts are still a bit messed up ... it was about two weeks at this point and has now been near two months.) But the activities and sales were great, and the kids each won some fun prizes, like animal crackers and a Webkinz mouse pad.

Saturday we did a Lowe's activity, and I got to attend a curriculum fair ... bought some fun materials but not anything major, as we'd pretty much decided what we wanted and it wasn't there.
