Today my mom wanted to try something, making garden pots with Hypertufa. It is a mixture of Portland Cement, Pearlite, Peat Moss, and Water. You have to wear gloves because of the cement. You also have to wear a mask over your nose and mouth so the cement won’t get in them. It is pretty messy but my mom said they will come out fine. My grandma came over to help and so did my mom’s friend Brooke and her boyfriend Cesar. Well Cesar helped my dad catch bugs to feed Alex.

My friend Daniela and her cousin Herbie came over too and helped. It was fun.
