Flowers and Finger Painting

We had a fun day yesterday. After dropping Brad off at school John and I came home and I tried to introduce him to the fun world of finger painting. He got his had covered in green paint and then started to cry. He wanted nothing to do with getting his hands dirty with paint and wanted me to immediately clean him up. I was expecting him to go crazy and love it but that was not the case. John hates to finger paint. I will try again later because I spent $6 on a case of finger paints. Don't be surprised if you get future cards with his works of art attached.
After picking Brad up we went to the store and got some flowers to plant in the dirt outside out apartment. Shopko was having a one day sale and we got 20 starter plants for $5. I picked the flowers out and Brad, being the gardener in our relationship, planted them all while John and I watched and gave encouragement. Thanks Cheryl for teaching him how to garden. I have always wanted to be a good gardener but Brad has the skills and he always does a great job.
My poor flowers look a little sad now, but hopefully in a couple days they should really perk up and start to flourish. Keep your fingers crossed. Some of the plants were a little pathetic but we planted them anyway. I am hoping that these few pansies and snap dragons will grow and make our walk way beautiful this summer. We will keep you posted.
