Every day is Arbor Day with Bastian!

First, here are some pictures of Lincoln having his first root beer float. Cute little booger isn't he?

He just dived right in like he's been eating them all his life.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled blog (bloggity blog blog blog).....

I say everyday is Arbor Day with Bastian because he is obsessed with seeds and trees. If he has any food that has a seed in it he wants to take it out in the backyard and plant it and grow a tree. Lemons, apples, peaches. He doesn't discriminate, he wants to plant them all. He's even tried to scrape the seeds off a strawberry so he could plant those. We've never let him plant anything, because we are mean and don't care for the environment...hey, what's it done for me lately? Nothing, thank you very much. When you buy me dinner earth, then I'll care. LOL, no we do care about the environment, but we just spent $1000 this fall having trees taken down so our backyard was more usable, so we aren't going to plant new ones any time soon. But Bastian still asks. Bastian Appleseed, that's my boy. Tonight we were having fried chicken for dinner (from a box because there is no way I'm touching raw chicken on the bone to do all the breading and frying and stuff). I probably make that maybe twice a year, due to the fact that bones in my food is kind of creepy. But, Dennis and the kids love it (the freaks) so I make it for them sometimes. Well, Bastian was happily eating his thigh piece (yeah, yuck..dark meat, I know) and he comes to a bone. Then he starts saying "We should take all the bones and bury them in the backyard!" and I said to Dennis "Why? To grow a Fried Chicken tree?" which he thought was pretty funny. Well, it turns out that Bastian just wanted to bury the bones in the yard so any stray dogs could dig them up if they are hungry. That's my boy...feeding the world one apple, strawberry, or fried chicken tree at a time :)

So, you know how kids learn from what you do and not what you say? What does this say about me???
