Mr. D's Garden...

Last night, I couldn't sleep. There were just way too many things swimming through my mind. As I was going through the different things that were coming up, I remembered that tomorrow (today) was Mr. D's garden at the kids' school. They were supposed to take fruits and vegetables and make a sculpture of something and then bring it to school. So I made the decision right then that I would get the kids up when I went out walking this morning and tell them that if they could get themselves totally ready for school then when I got back that would give us an hour to get their sculptures done. And what do you know? They did it!

Melissa is showing off her sculpture!

{sorry, photo removed}This is Spencer's...Jenna used the scraps that Melissa and Spencer didn't use and here's hers. She calls it a shooter thing, I think it actually looks like a duck.

The thing that was so great about this project, is there weren't any tears. And then when we took it to the school the other kids who had done theirs too, were so nice! They were saying things like "Oh cool!" or "That looks awesome!" One fifth grade boy told Spencer, "That is the best one I've seen!" it made me want to cry. And Spencer was so proud of himself.
