Forgot to mention yesterday that Dad picked the first of the vegetables. The packet said "eight weeks" before the capsicum would be ready... it's been months since they were planted. Apparently vegetables don't like growing in coastal beach sand. We might have to try again in the future, this time maybe we'll prepare the soil a little better.
The lettuce isn't doing much better. After Dad went away for a few days, the leaves near the core died off. After they were pulled out the lettuce started growing upwards... One is now about two foot tall... and flowering like a broccoli.
This afternoon, after Courtney got home from school, the girls played with face paint... blue face paint. Even after two baths this evening, Brooke's hair is still greenish in colour and her face looks like she has been punched by Mike Tyson.
