Green Thumb

It seems that Anna definitely has one. We have a couple plants we bought her at Eastern market earlier this year and they are doing so awesome. But the one she is most proud of and that is growing like crazy is her cactus. When we bought it for 2 bucks it only had 3 "ears" on it and it was in a tiny pot. It soon grew another ear and continued to grow quickly. So quickly that Anna had to decorate a new, bigger pot for it and we transplanted it a couple weeks ago. I figured since we transplanted it would slow down for a bit until it got re-established, but no it's currently growing yet another "ear" and getting bigger and bigger. She is so happy and here it is today:


Besides growing plants she's also been playing at the beach. We recently made a trip with my friend Ginnie and her daughter Autumn. I did bring my camera and of course after one shot my batteries died!!!! But they had a really awesome time swimming and making sand castles.


We've also been having some water fun at home. I got this cool hose sprayer on clearance at Target for only $1.91 and she's having a blast with it!! And at the same time my grass and flowers are getting a drink too, so it works great for all of us!



Today we went and voted and the poll workers were very impressed that she knew about some of the issues on the ballot. They also commented on how well behaved she was while we were there. How come she can't be so well behaved and well mannered at home?? At least I know she does hear what I tell her!

And can you believe in just a few short weeks Anna will be starting Kindergarten?!! It just seems crazy to me that she's even old enough so fast. Of course she thinks she's 4 going on 15 so she is ready. I think she's most excited about getting to ride the bus. Fall is just around the corner and I can't wait for cooler weather, beautiful tree colors and all the fun of cider mills and the farm!! Lookout Fall here we come!!
