So the other day I was thinking about making garden markers for our little vegetable garden we have. I usually just write the name of the veggie on a long stick and poke it in the ground. Well, I thought this year that Emily could help me out.
I had her draw and colour pictures of the vegetables in our garden. After she was done colouring them and cutting them out I laminated them with these Avery laminating sheets you can buy at Walmart for around $10.00. Now they don't even compare to the laminator I have at work, but they do the job. After they were laminated we hot glued them onto some Popsicle-like sticks I had.
With little input from me, this is what Emily came up with. Please remember she's only 5.
Try to guess what they are before you read the caption.

| Pretty good carrot, hey! |
 |
| Tomato!! |
Oh I love this one...
 |
| WATERMELON! |
Did you get it right?
Ha ha...try this one. Can you guess what it is?
 |
| It's....Spinach. I think it's great! |
 |
| Here we have a yellow onion :) |
 |
| And red onions |
These are great too!
 |
| Yeah, they are radishes. You knew that right? |
Can you guess what these are?
Here's a close up....
 |
| It's a pea. I told her we needed some peas and that's what she drew. |
Now this one is tricky. But I think she did good.
 |
| It's a zucchini :) |
Now you should be able to guess this one by what you see in the pot.
 |
| But isn't that the best damn picture of Lettuce you've ever seen in your life! |
Ok. So I'm going to give this one to you.
I told her to draw a pumpkin :)
 |
| HAPPY HALLOWEEN |
 |
| The kids put the stakes in all by themselves |
And this guy wanted to help us too!
I snapped this picture after the bee left but thought I would throw it up here because I like it.
Ok, so here's where I need your help. I kinda figured this would was hoping this wouldn't happen.
hot glue + plastic + wood sticks + rain = fail.
This is what I came home to today.

| Boo!! |
So now I need to reattach these buggers. I was thinking of stapling them on, but then they wouldn't be waterproof. I could glue the crap out of them and hope they stick.
What do you think? Any suggestions?
