Earth Day, Sick Day

Happy Earth Day!

Quin is apparently SICK of the way we treat our earth, and so he let us all know by being quite sick indeed. Poor little guy lost everything in his digestive system today, repeatedly, sorry to paint that picture. Right now he and Papa are resting together and he's battling a fever. I'm hoping it's just something he ate and that he'll kick it soon. So, we'll have to save the earth saving and honoring ideas I had for today for another day.

Here is what we did do today:
1. use numerous cloth and 7th generation diapers (ok so the number we used was not so good, that they were cloth diapers or chlorine free was good ;))
2. Bought some Earth's Best organic snacks and juice for Q at the store (+used my own bags as always)
3. Sure didn't drive much
4. Got our tasty New Roots organic produce delivery, and used it for lunch and dinner. Composted fruit and veggie scraps from said delivery.
5. Planted a cute little Western Hemlock in the backyard in the 10 minutes Q and I were outside today, he was kinda sad at the moment I took the pic, sorry.

6. Tried to follow all of Anna's great suggestions. And nodded my head along with Anna's too! Girls we should start a club or something!
7. Papa read to Quin from National Geo all about our Earth's animals and wonders such as volcanoes.

8. Made plans for transplanting our little pea, chard, and bean starts to the backyard.

9. Thought back on our fun, though chilly, last Saturday morn spent at an Earth day event out at site Todd works at in Marysville. Here is Quin getting a close look at a little salmon, and having a shoulder ride on Papa out to the Qwuloolt Marsh Restoration site.

10. Reflected on the things our family can continue to do to help our earth.

Here's a happy picture of Quin enjoying the crazy gift of snow our earth gave us last weekend:
