We drilled some holes in the soles of old shoes and then filled them with dirt and planted flowers in them. A great way to recycle some cute shoes. Rachel even planned to line Daniel's up on her porch steps to look like the shoes sitting there had sprouted flowers - how much fun will that be when they bloom?
We may be girly girls (except Daniel of course - don't let his beads fool you!) but dirt doesn't scare us!
Mari and Mommy working very hard together.

The whole gang - aren't they adorable? And my, how they've all grown up since last March!
We also passed out fliers and stickers for Toms Shoes "One Day Without Shoes" - will you go barefoot with us on April 8th? Visit the website to print out your own fliers and stickers and join an amazing movement to bring awareness to how much one pair of shoes can make a difference in someone's life - it can be the difference between having a job and being unemployed, the difference between being able to go to school or staying at home being uneducated, the difference between life in death in areas that are overwhelmed by simple illnesses/infections that can find their way in through bare, battered feet.Join us and shoe off your toes!
Hopefully, there are 51 people in the world that will get a whole new set of opportunities opened to them thanks to this pile of shoes!

Working out the details of the next PlayGroup - don't have all the details yet but it will be a Moo-ving experience. Stay tuned for "Milk Money."

We had a blast today and the kids were great at matching up the shoes!! I can't wait to see everyone's shoe planters when they sprout! I have mine on the windowsill now and it's so adorable to look at!
Thanks for opening up your home again for Playgroup!!
