To celebrate Earth Day the kids and I planted trees.

We used a spruce tree seed card from Majesta.

Here Sam cuts up the seed card.

Lizzy plants her seeds. (psst … she’s grumpy because I made her put a rather new and flavourful baseball-sized hunk of gum in the garbage {sheesh}).

Georgia waters her seeds. An hour later she was pretty sure she saw them growing. HA!

The kids have been talking a lot about Earth Day at school and understand the importance of ‘Trees’ and the environment. Sam explained to Georgia that trees make oxygen for the earth. Then Georgia wanted to know if it was easier to breathe in the forest than in the middle of a big empty field.

You’ve gotta love kids, eh?

We’ve been using/testing out ‘green’ paper products (toilet paper, paper towels and tissue) from Majesta for several weeks now and love them! They also provided us with the seed card to allow us to plant our Earth Day spruce trees.

I wanted to let you know that:

This Earth Day, Majesta gives Moms across Canada the chance to win a $15,000 Green Makeover for their home. All you have to do to enter is visit www.majesta.com. This promotion ends June 27, 2010.

I’ve entered several times now! If I win, we’re going to put a green roof on the house. By green I mean soil and plants. We have a flat(ish) roof and I think it would look fantastic.

What would you do with $15000 Green Makeover from Majesta?

I’m still being tested, so far one test just leads to another. Lucky me … today I was the recipient of a transvaginal ultrasound (sorry guys TMI) … let’s just say, “I feel violated”. Something isn’t right, but I’ve decided, if I am dying, it’s not going to be really soon! Just in case I have a few funeral songs picked out.

Last Monday it snowed, this Monday the kids were playing in the sprinkler.

All the trees are flowering, there are LEAVES!

And FLOWERS! My neighbors don’t mow their lawn more than once per season. These pretty purple flowers grow wild all over their front yard.

Fabulous, eh?

Mr. MK quit smoking about 2 months ago. He’s gained about 2 OZ and we’re now exercising after supper.

That’s him up ahead on roller blades. I was trying to ride my bike and take photos with my iPhone all at the same time, hence, the crappy photo.

I’m hitting the road Monday, but I am not telling you where. You’ll just have to stop in and find out. It’s a rather luxurious vacay, with no hubby (*sob*) and no kiddies (*yippee sob*). There’s loads of food, the views should be fabulous, and the weather, well it may be ‘iffy’.
