Growing Grass

Here in Denver, we are only in our rental for a year.  And that year is ending in only a few more months.  But I have been itching to garden!  So the girls and I planted some grass...

I got rye grass seeds, and one afternoon we had fun digging in the dirt... inside even!  The girls sprayed their seeds with a squirt bottle every morning.  I gave them a bit more water again in the late afternoon.  It only took 4 days for them to sprout.  Felt like instant gratification.

Then I couldn't stop there.  What else could I plant grass seed in???  I love to thrift shop... I found some fun containers for just pennies...

A butter yellow tea cup.

Easter Bunny decoration.

Ummm... toothbrush holder.

I think it's pretty hilarious, myself.

And yes, the guest bathroom is blue.

This is what goes on behind the scenes of my absurd photo shoot.  The kids were following me around thinking things like, "Mom, seriously?  This is how you are wasting all of our time?"

Side note:  Have you heard of the photo editing site, Picnik?  It's awesome and, as you can see, I've had a lot of fun editing my photos with it.
