Still no babies from MoR, which seems odd. She's always been right on time delivering new kits. Maybe tomorrow.
Tonight we had dinner at my parents' house. Their new bloodhound ate one of #4's brand new Shopkins shoes. My mom was going to throw the remaining shoe away (since all of my kids have two feet, one shoe isn't worth keeping), but I had an idea.
When I have time, I plan on adding soil and seeds and making the shoe a planter. I mean, it's not a big deal if it doesn't work out, because it was just going to be thrown away anyway. My thought is that the bottom sole is rubber, which means I can use it as an indoor planter without worrying about the water spilling out from the bottom. Since #4 has a nice West-facing window in her bedroom, perhaps she can keep it in her room as an odd, but still relevant Shopkins collectible (she does love them). I will have to take photos.
Also, this year, I'd like to start making videos to add to my blogs. I'm expecting some seeds in the mail tomorrow. My kids love watching videos of people opening things. Perhaps a quick video of my opening the seed package will be entertaining.
If I knew how to video edit, I'd make the shoe planter a video too. I could do videos on winter sowing, seed saving, and homestead chores... Once I figure out editing, the sky's the limit. Here's to a busy year full of new opportunities and lessons to learn!
