Mother's Day 2011

It was more like Mother's Weekend!  Although I had to work on Saturday for just a little bit, I was still able to enjoy in a few of the events via email/text msging.  Miss Lace and Daddy went to Home Depot for the Kids Workshop where she built a cute Tulip Planter.   She took the cutest picture when she was finished and her Jeff sent it to me via text.  She is such a little cutie! 

That afternoon after I got home we spent some time out in the yard doing some weeding and cutting the grass.  She wasn't too keen on it but she stuck it out.  That evening we spent some time over at Allie's playing.  Madison played and played and played.  Jeff was making a cassserole that needed to sit overnight and Madison was helping.  This picture shows how hard she played...

"Really Dad, I'm tired and want to go to bed."
The day before when we were outside we found a turtle.  I had moved him to another flowerbed since I was using the lawnmower in the area where I found him.  Guess he decided he wanted to go back where I found him.  He was making his way back across the lawn so Madison and I went down to talk to him.

There was a nice breakfast served and then it was time to work it all off so we went for a walk.  Since we hadn't done letterboxing in a while we found a few new boxes in a new area.  Madison didn't seem to feel 100% and wanted to be carried while we walked. That silly girl!  
The walk was good but the letterboxing was unsuccessful since we only found one box of the four hidden.  It was time to fill our bellies again.  We took Madison to have lunch at the Mellow Mushroom for pizza.  I'll have to see if I can get the video downloaded of the conversation she and I had about having pizza. 

When we got home she surprised me with the planter she made for me the day before.  She was so very proud!  And it was so beautiful! 
What a perfect Mother's Day!!!
