How we celebrated Earth Day

Confession - I have never "celebrated" Earth Day before. Donovan has been totally excited about Earth Day. Apparently he has been learning about it at school and he thinks it's the greatest thing ever. His prayers have included things like, "please bless that no one can ruin the trees or the grass", "please bless all the flowers to grow", etc. At 2 of Matt's lacrosse games I have caught him running around picking up all the garbage he can find. He LOVES the idea of taking care of the Earth. So of course, we needed to celebrate Earth Day. Our celebration was simple, we planted a little pine tree in a pot. Donovan was thrilled. I love it when we can please our kids with something so simple!
