Lily is not much of a veggie eater. Well, we were at Lowe's the other day and saw these Sesame Street vegetable growing kits. We settled on the Oscar the Grouch Green Beans. It took a minute to sell Lily on the idea, but soon she got on board with growing and eating her own veggies. Here's a picture of her excited self showing off the box before we planted the seeds.

Other Hooks Happenings
Here are a few other things happening around our home these days...
The kit comes with 6 little pots to use, dirt to put in the pot and the seeds. Here's Lily putting the water into the pots so the dirt could spread out.
Putting the seeds in and mixing the dirt up.
Of course, we had to put the Oscar the Grouch stickers on the pots too. We'll see how this little experiment works out. I'm not known for my ability to grow things!

I love when the girls play nicely together! Here they are coloring together.
Popsicles are a special treat after dinner.
On Tuesday evening, Lily and I went on a Mommy Daughter date to Atlanta Fish Market for dinner. We had a $20 coupon, and since Ryan doesn't really enjoy seafood too much, we thought it would be fun for me to take Lily. I told her it was a special meal, and we would need to be on our best manners since it's a little bit nicer of a restaurant than what she's used to. She did great! When we got there, she fell in love with the huge fish that is out front; she named it Phylo. She couldn't get enough of it! She kept wanting to walk on this little bridge to see it. They also have rocking chairs on their big front patio that she enjoyed. We had a really nice meal. She enjoyed her fried shrimp while I enjoyed my broiled red snapper. I look forward to more Mommy Daughter dates with Lily and Mia later on!
