Green Thumbs?

We had great weather yesterday, so we spent most of our afternoon outside. I pulled weeds while the kids played.

I don't think either of them should plan on a career in horticulture. This is why:

Ally got out all of our gardening tools and picked a flower.

Then she attempted to plant the flower again.

Crit enjoyed the flowers too. He turned these flowers into this:

Yes, these used to be flowers.

And this is the face he made when I told him not to pull the petals off anymore.

I have fewer flowers, but the kids were happy, so I guess it's worth it.
