I know, I know

I've been REALLY boring lately. Problem is, we're having a lovely Winter this Spring, and as a result are trapped indoors, staring longingly out the windows at the deceptively bright sun, knowing that within about 3 minutes of venturing outdoors our noses will be running, our cheeps will be chapped, our fingers will be frozen, and our voices will be whining.

So instead, we stay inside. We do yoga, and make laser beam obstacle courses with yarn, and debate the speed and maneuverability of Matchbox vs. Fisher Price vs. Little People vehicles. We run laps around the house while Miss Sarah booms "NO RUNNING UPSTAIRS" and then we cackle as we totter down the steps to run uninhibited in the basement.

Today, however, is the second day in as many weeks that we're actually capable of going outside IN THE MORNING. Given the Winter we had, this is Very Big News.

Continuing along with the Hurry Up and Spring, Already, D*****, we made egg carton seed starters this morning! 

Here's how...

Step 1: cut egg cartons in half
Step 2: poke holes in bottom of one half
Step 3: line other half with aluminum foil, being careful not to tear it
Step 4: put side with holes on top of side with foil
Step 5: fill each cup halfway with soil
Step 6: sprinkle with seeds, top with soil
Step 7: enlist as many toddlers as possible to help
Step 8: label, put in sunny window, water, cross fingers
Step 9: put extra soil in water table, stand back, and listen to the giggles and shrieks
