Daddy's Weekly Dollop

Greetings Friends,
Here's week two of my installment of Daddy's Weekly Dollop - a recap of the week according to Robbie.

1) Farmer Campbell and Farmer Maggie - Martha and Campbell decided that their spring break project was going to be to build a garden.  Their project, quickly became my project.  I built them an 8' x 8' raised bed.  On Easter day we planted some sugar snap peas, zucchini, cucumber, and lettuce. in 45 - 60 days, I'll report the progress . . . . Or I'll show you some pictures of me purchasing some of the above produce and me throwing them into the garden to "show the girls" the fruits of their labor.

2)  Not your average Easter eggs - This year, I took Campbell to help me go pick out the Easter egg dye kit.  She picked out "monster eggs."  What turned out to be something different actually turned out to be a great idea.  For the first time, the activity didn't conclude when we finished dying the eggs.  The two girls hung out for another 30 more minutes playing with their monsters.

3) Inchworms - My girls, both girls, love inchworms.  The obsession started when Campbell was in preschool at Macfeat (at Winthrop University).  They have several large trees in their playground that must be a inchworm-magnet.  This obsession has continued for several years and has even spread to her sister Maggie.  Here is a picture of our Easter photo shoot that was interrupted by a  . . . . you guessed it.

4) A week that Campbell will never forget - This past week was Martha and Campbell's spring break.  Martha really needed this time away from work to work on her National Boards renewal.  Because of that, Campbell spent the week going to friends houses for play dates.  Each day concluded with "I don't want to go home."  However, because of these friends, Martha was able to knock out about 90% of her renewal application.  Here are some of the pictures of Campbell's play dates:

5)  He has Risen - That's right, it's Easter.  We spent the day at church and with family.  Here are some pictures of the girls either from today, or from their week filled with egg hunts.
