Yesterday we had our first meeting with me as the new leader. I appreciated all the parents who are willing to drop off and pick up kids as needed. Some of you might even be able to carpool with others to free up your evening just a tad more. Why not?
As first order of business we set up an Activity Days girls herb garden. Girls painted pots and planted seeds. We're growing oregano, basil, parsley, lavender, and chives. Each of the 5 attending girls were able to paint a pot, fill it with potting soil and plant the seed. We discussed how to read the back of the seed packets, the parallels of working on our faith and maintaining these herbs. Hopefully we'll have a large 'harvest' as they grow and will be able to cook some fun foods for our family with herbs we've grown from seeds and experience some creative ways to use lavender.
Because there are more girls than pots, we will rotate the pots around to share the responsibility and hence the sense of accomplishment when the plants start growing. Remember to water our plant when it feels dry (every other day or so) and keep it in a sunny area.
Our dessert was a ladybug sugar cookie, which we decorated with chocolate chips. MMMMM Good!!
