This weekend I took the time to catch up with some “normal” stuff. I cleaned my (very dirty) room and put together a special hanger for my elf costume.

Then there was the not so normal stuff: My mom and I had some families over with their little kids and we started some seeds together. The kids were very excited to participate in the whole process, from washing the pots to putting the seeds in the soil. The plants will be given away at our church in exchange for donations. All the money will go toward sponsoring our church’s summer camp, so that kids from a refugee/lower-inco background can go to camp, too. Two of those kids were among the helpers today. I didn’t get pictures of the process, but the results speak for themselves :)

Some starts (veggies and sunflowers)
