"Single Mom" Saturday....

The husband is at an informal college reunion/gathering this weekend, so it's just me and the girls.

This morning we did a little shopping for the garden and bought our vegetable plants. Sam picked out peppers, broccoli (her favorite vegetable), and 2 kinds of tomatoes. The tomatoes she doesn't like to eat but she feels "every garden has to have tomatoes Mommy" so we get them anyways. I think whoever said that if you get kids planting their own food in a garden, they are much more likely to try the 'fruits" of their labor, was so right! Samantha will pretty much try any food, at least once, especially if you tell her it grew in a garden.

Then I treated Sam to lunch at Chick Fil A, which is really my sneaky way of getting a vanilla milkshake and using her as the excuse. This afternoon we'll be doing a small craft, making beaded bracelets while Maddy takes a nap! Nice day with my girls, and I am so looking forward to a glass of wine this evening while I catch up on my guilty-pleasure shows (Gray's Anatomy, Glee, and Vampire Diaries).

 

Hope you're having a great weekend!
