We actually had a pretty fun day despite being stuck inside on our last day of Spring Break. We watched TV, read, played some games, painted some watercolors, wrote a few stories...We also did up some more seeds for our winter sowing experiment. (I didn't ask them to decorate the milk jugs-cum-greenhouses. They did that all on their own.)
The snow's so deep that you'd never know by looking at it, but there are another 5 greenhouses buried behind the batch we did up yesterday. The girls are really into this, so much so that they've decided this is going to be their Science Fair project. Will it work? Will seeds that have been frozen and thawed and frozen and thawed over and over again actually sprout? Tune in April 24th at the Science Fair...
Dinner last night was something wonderfully colorful. I'd like to say that I planned it this way because we're all in desperate need of some color, but no. I just happened to have some green onions that I need to use up and a bag of baby spinach in the 'frig, some frozen chicken breasts, and canned diced tomatoes. Plop a bunch of spinach into a baking dish, slap the chicken breasts on top, toss on some tomatoes and green onions, make up some curried rice while it's baking, and voila. 35 minutes later, one very pretty -- and tasty! -- dinner is the result.
The girls and I also made PB&J cookies from a recipe I found over at Blissfully Domestic.
In a word: YUM.
