Happy Mother's Day

I had a good Mother's Day!

After Mass, we went to Steak 'n Shake for lunch (the kids' FAVORITE place to eat) and then we went to Lowe's and picked out some flowers to plant. After coming home and putting the 2 little ones down for naps, we planted the flowers. It was a wonderful day to be outside! The weather has been so wet and cool for the past 2 months that it was an extra-special treat for it to be warm and sunny!

This isn't a great picture of the kids, but it lets you see the 3 new plants: a rose bush and 2 daisies (one white and one purple). We made the fenced-in area last Spring. I chose this area because I can see it from my kitchen window.

Cati's mulching the flowers she chose, the purple daisies.

Let the watering begin!

I also cleaned out our fenced-in flower garden. You can see that our lillies are doing well.

The roses...

Matteo picked out some annuals that we planted in a pot on our front porch...

Now, let's hope all the flowers live :) :) :)

Happy Mother's Day to all my mom friends and family, especially to my own mother!
