Oscar Stew

Our favorite boredom buster!

It’s super cheap, not too messy and the kids love it. Warning: major picture spam ahead. I couldn’t resist…

Such a poser. Tell me that she doesn’t KNOW she is cute.

Check out the snowman in the middle. Drew was pretty proud of his “crazy hair.”

The best part is – after the snowmen bake for a little bit, they provide a few more hours of quality entertainment. Ah, the joys of bone-crushing poverty! Luckily, kids don’t know the difference.

Is underway…

Every year we grow radishes, carrots, and lettuce for the pig. Drew loves to tend to his garden, sometimes to a fault. He will water his garden any chance he can get. This year Brinley wanted in on the action, so she has a Binnie Garden that is for the Guinea. You follow?

I don’t know which part they like best – filling the pots with dirt, planting the seeds, squirting them with spray bottles until their hands hurt, or watching the seedlings grow. It’s all very exciting!

Here are our little radish seedlings, just over a week old. They should be ready to harvest in 3-4 weeks. Oscar will be in hog heaven!

Looks like we have a carrot stowing away with the radishes. That’s what you get when the kids are in charge of planting…
