tidbits 5.7.12

Just a whole lot of nothing and everything going on around here. I always forget how darn busy the end of the school year is!

I thought the lily pads were so cool.

I finally took Easter down….oh, 2 days ago.

 

lots of games in the rain

 

and end of the year concerts

 

and cousins

 

I asked the girls to set some drinks out for a bbq…love the lineup.

 

The topiaries were back at my walmart for $11.77!

 I just tell my husband I don’t want flowers for Mother’s Day~topiaries (ahem....that I buy myself) and hand-picked dandelions are perfect.

 

So, I planted my pots with my mixtures of cut up grocery store hanging baskets.

 

My boys cannot handle the spikey plants~they get the urge to just pull them out (??) they didn’t last 2 weeks last year.

We’ll see how they look in August.

The best part about this week??

I have some spectacular guest posts coming every day this week with thoughts on being a mom. You will love them~you can also read years’ past guest posts here.

Can you believe Mother’s Day is on Sunday? I’ve got to get some packages in the mail…yikes!

Whatcha getting your mom??
