Happy Arbor Day

We will not be planting a tree, but Morgan and I plan to plant some bluebells (grape hyacinth) that we dug up from my Mom's place last weekend. And some tulips and regular hyacinth as well. More like a belated Earth Day celebration. Then maybe we will go for a walk with gloves and a garbage bag and clean up the roadside. We did it before and it was fun. We each had a bag and one of us would pick up garbage and the other cans and/or plastic for recycling.

Foggy Morning

Heading out this morning to catch the bus, Morgan noticed this spiderweb on our front porch. Click on the photo to enlarge it. Every detail was perfectly captured by the fog. Only the little prince, at his level, would have seen it. We also took note of tiny, tiny waterdrops on the newly green grass.

The downside to the lovely fog (besides having to drive in it) is that T-ball practice may again be cancelled for tonight if the sun doesn't come out. We have not had a practice yet and the season starts next week. O well. They will survive. After all, how much can you actually practice T-ball?? We have plans for a scrimmage with Molly's team Thursday night. Last night would have been great for practice. Morgan spent the evening out in the yard throwing the football with his dad and making baskets through the monkey bars while I made dinner. It was so nice out I had to open the screen door. Love this time of year!

How may I help you?

I was fortunate enough to have my mom up for a visit this past weekend. It was an absolutely beautiful weekend. Friday, I met her and my sister, Darese, at a McDonald's playland (so my little nephews could play). Saturday, we took Mom to Heisler's for lunch and watched Morgan and Reese play a round of mini golf. It was so nice out, I actually got a bit of a sunburn. In the evening, while Reese and Morgan visited Reese's parents, Mom and I sat on the deck and listened to the different birds singing, looked at the green, green grass and watched the sun set.

Yesterday, we took her home and had a delicious lunch at my sister Rosemary's house. While the adults visited, Morgan's cousin, Shanda, was kind enough to play with Morgan. They played hide-and-seek and store. Morgan was so excited and impressed by Shanda's store that he had to make his own today after school. He walked around the house with his finger on his chin looking for things to stock the shelves. He got out paper, scissors and tape to make 'price tags' for everything. The water was on sale for $1.55 each. And you could even buy a box to store it in when you got home. The only problem he sees is that we do not have a cart like the one at Aunt Rosemary's. He wants me to go shopping in the attic for something to use as a cart. Something with wheels. LOL I think he's out of luck with that. He wanted to borrow Pappy's adding machine, but I talked him into just using a calculator. Can't get too fancy. Gotta use what you got. :-)

So, Thank You, Shanda for the wonderful idea. It has really kept him occupied.

Sharp-dressed Man and his Dad

Here is Morgan in all his Easter finery, posing next to his dad. I forgot to take Morgan's picture after church, so I made him get dressed in his 3-piece suit again before bed so I could take his picture. He was just sooooo cute!

We had a good Easter. Reese's dad was home from the hospital and we got to visit with them after lunch. I made steak and cake for our Easter lunch. It was very tasty and we ate too much. But of course we had room for ham and macaroni salad for dinner at his parents'. Or at least we made room. I felt like I needed a crane to get me out of the chair and back into the truck for the ride home. But it was very yum!

More missing teeth

So much has happened. Wow! I really need to keep up!

Morgan lost another tooth on March 21st. The second top tooth. Then he lost his bottom tooth on March 28th. I now call him my toothless wonder. He has a hard time eating his favorite fruit: apples. Unless they are cut up which I don't always have the time to do.
