And I don't need to recommend anything on the growing, I was going to say beans, but Crystal already said that. <BR/>That's awesome that you are starting the journal. Michael has been doing that for a while now, and it probably wouldn't hurt for me to do the same.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589572716111544248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-3533272624519919952007-12-20T04:06:00.000-07:002007-12-20T04:06:00.000-07:00Your babies are very lovely!Bean sprouts (we had s...Your babies are very lovely!<BR/><BR/>Bean sprouts (we had some get 18" tall after the kids brought home the little seed in a cup from primary.) <BR/><BR/>Wheat sprouts, Kit did that with the kids - wet the wheat, place on paper towel, cover with another and keep damp. They sprout quickly and you can eat them (the kids thought it was funny.) Though the roots grow through the paper towel... kinda creepy.<BR/><BR/>I love new journals. And good pens. I still keep one for me, though our blog has become the family journal. <BR/><BR/>And as always, beautiful pictures... :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371671630524713784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-42799259147354910312007-12-20T03:06:00.000-07:002007-12-20T03:06:00.000-07:00Roy!!! i miss the family so bad this Christmas you...Roy!!! i miss the family so bad this Christmas you have no idea! it's good you're just taking photos for fun. and i have to say, your whole family is just beatiful, including you of course!! man. i want to be a mom. i dont fully understand what it's like yet but i want to.chucknorrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437305530794177938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-37273346212267342332007-12-19T15:32:00.000-07:002007-12-19T15:32:00.000-07:00Great suggestions from Crystal on the plants! I wa...Great suggestions from Crystal on the plants! I was drawing a blank. <BR/><BR/>As for the caterpillars -- I know about that! Go to www.insectlore.com and you can get 4-5 caterpillars in a jar plus the butterfly habitat for when they come out of their cocoons for $25 and about $7 shipping. I haven't done it yet...but I REALLY want to! I have friends who have and LOVE it. You can get other bugs there too.<BR/><BR/>I am SO proud of you for taking pictures and just posting them AS IS! I know it goes against your instincts are urge to edit, edit, and then edit just one more time. But these pictures have their own beauty! And I love how you covered Savvy....no blackmail photos this time. :)Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095104147841657129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-4498232484475455902007-12-19T11:43:00.000-07:002007-12-19T11:43:00.000-07:00So much to comment on!1.

Buy beans from the grocery store, soak them, and then let them sit overnight in a wet paper towel and that should do the trick. <BR/><BR/>Or you could buy paper white flowers. They are super easy to grow and are fast too. It's a bulb so you just put them in like a mason jar full of rocks & water. Put it in a dark place & watch it grow! The smell can be overpowering though. (My mom teaches 3rd grade & one year for Christmas she was going to have each kid take home paper whites. 30 paper whites in an enclosed space gives me a headache :)<BR/><BR/>My sister has kids about your kids ages (and she live in Cedar too!). She found somewhere online that she could buy a caterpiller that would turn into a butterfly. Her kids were totally mesmerized by watching this caterpiller turn into a cocoon turn into a butterfly. Sooo fun! <BR/><BR/>2. I am also trying to do as Pres Eyring said. He's so inspiring!! And I'm a poet. <BR/><BR/>3. My parents' backyard fence looks exactly like the one your wreath is on. Makes me homesick :(Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00978042121898207496noreply@blogger.com
