This summer (our first in our new 'city' location) we're doing something a little different. First, we're ripping out our flower beds and planting vegetable gardens for our daycare lunches (provided my black thumb doesn't reign supreme). I've always done this to some degree at the old house, but was limited to tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, beans and herbs. We're going for the whole shebang this year! Woo hoo!

AND....we're going to hatch chicks!!!! Yippeeeeee! I can hardly wait! I've done this in the past at a daycare centre I worked at and loved it! It's a fantastic project that encompasses sooooo many different learning avenues. Plus, we get fluffy chicks at the end of it! I've already found placement for our fuzzballs on a farm of a friend. Apparently, he's a complete hippie and will never, ever eat them. They get to live out their whole lives with no fear of the dinner bell. I'm so excited (in case you couldn't tell)!
