We started out today planting the little flower seeds that the Easter bunny brought. They are a mixture of a few different varieties and even a watermelon plant thrown in there. I have never had any luck with these little plastic greenhouses but it doesn't stop us from trying. Drew did great counting the numbers of teaspoons he put into each pot while Jonathan planted his sunflowers and watermelon seeds into biodegradable cups. Zoie was able to watch and put each soil tablet into the pot and she even threw the cover on for the "greenhouse" at the end. Now let the waiting and watching begin!
When the babies laid down for thier naps Jonathan and I decided to try to figure out the presidents on the Jib Jab video "White House Rock"
We did Ok but we are confused on a couple. We are going to have to do some more research into the presidential photographs because some of the video is really fuzzy and hard to distinguish. We some how came across the video for Billy Joel's we didn't start the fire so we went through the song and talked about some of the events.
Most Jonathan knew about but a couple really peaked his intrest. He was amazed by the children of Thalidomide and was surprised at what had happened to the children. He is also very interested in John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Malcom X. I can't blame him it is such an important time in our history. We watched a bit of Kennedy's assasination but I think he would do better talking to Grandma since she can give him actual knowledge of what it was like to be living through that part of history much better than I can.
