Tomatoes...

Okay, okay, it's been forever since I updated this thing. And I have a good excuse...oh wait, no I don't. I'm just lazy and still forgetting my camera everywhere!

So, without further ado, 2 pictures I took...at home!

The picture above is Ashley with her tomato plant.
It's her first attempt at growing a plant and it's a complete success! She planted the tomato seeds with her great-Aunt Cathy at my parents house and brought home the bucket. All in it? Dirt, dirt, and...wait for it...dirt.

She was diligent in watering it every few days, making sure the dirt didn't dry out, and when her first little stem sprouted from the ground, she exclaimed, "Mom, I have 10 green thumbs!"
She was so proud of herself and I was proud of her as well since I just kill everything.

(except bamboo, those plants are crazy resilient. By the way? Definition of resilient: Capable of withstanding shock without permanent deformation...aka not being nurtured by Melissa)


Anyway, her determination has paid off, her plant officially has 9 little balls which should grow into tomatoes!

Next stop...braces on her front teeth tomorrow! We will post pics soon :)

Yea for Ashley! Congrats on the tomato plant! Maybe you can share some of your 10 green thumbs with your mom. :) Bamboo is resilient, eh? I'll have to give it a try. I am a notorious plant killer/neglecter as well. At least our kids are still growing, right?
