About a week ago I had my kids plant some seeds. My daughter had picked out some California poppies, and my youngest son picked out sunflowers, which he and the oldest son planted. My daughter noticed yesterday that they had sprouted -- the sunflowers much more than her poppies, but her poppies HAD sprouted. They were all very excited, and they all watered their little sprouts.
THIS is what being a parent is about. These moments of learning, of joy, of appreciating the little things. I truly enjoyed those 10 minutes of gardening with my kids.

What? No pictures?
Meh, I haven't taken the time to figure out how to post pictures. So sue me :P
Some geek you turned out to be.
Hey, like any true geek, I'm lazy too. :P
I could figure it out if I wanted (probably within a few minutes), but it's not that important to me.
For that matter, I never even TOOK pictures to begin with.
