Eggs & Chicks . . . Easter Fun

Can you see my cute little chicks up there? Each of my kids has their very own little chick. To the untrained eye they all look the same. But they know. . . oh, yes they do. I've only got a few Easter decorations, but Andy and I made a fun hour out of putting them up for our weekly teach me mommy class.


We planted our wheat grass. This grows really fast (like within four days you'll have grass), so you've got PLENTY of time to do it before Easter on the 23rd. Every wheat kernel becomes a blade of grass, so if you want it thick put tons of kernels in. (this seems to be an ongoing thing, but seeds or kernels? not sure.) Saturate with water for the first couple days. This picture was taken a week after we planted AND it's been trimmed once.
