Exitement
I took Maya and Ryleigh to a local greenhouse today to pick up a new plant for my Mom. We have been doing some planting indoors at our house, so plants and seeds are at the forefront of all of our minds. While I was paying for my things, Maya and Ryleigh were examining the seed packets on the spinning carousel holder. I looked over when I heard a big squeal of happiness. Maya said, "Mommy! Come here come here this is so amazing, you won't even believe it it's candy seeds! Candy seeds, Mama, CANDY seeeeeds!". I went over to where they were, trying to figure out what they could be looking at. It was a packet of rainbow beet seeds. The picture on the front was cross sections of all different colors of beets, and it did look like it could be candy. I explained what it actually was, and in doing so I think I ruined the dream that candy could grow on trees. I guess we could have bought it and tried to pass off the beets as candy. Something tells me she wouldn't have been fooled.

We keep trying to see if they will like beets but I tend to get the canned beets. Pure laziness on my part. lol
That's great that they thought beets were candy though.
That's so funny. It's a shame they had to learn the truth.
When I was about 3-4, my mom had us plan a button tree because of a book we had read. We went out back, dug a hole, and planted a button. The next day we came out and in it's place was a tree branch with all kinds of different buttons hanging off of it. We knew it wasn't real, but it was still really cool.
I love that your blog brings back some wonderful memories from my childhood. Thank you for that.
