A sweet surprise

This morning I was really late waking up.  Ariana was already upstairs by the time I was getting dressed.  When I came out of my bathroom she was standing by my bed with a bowl of cereal and a bagel cut, toasted with jelly on each slice sitting nicely on a small cutting board.  She told me that she hadn't gotten the chance to give me breakfast on mothers day so she decided to do it today.  It was so incredibly sweet.  I almost cried.  Such a wonderful way to start my day.

Dandelions

I have put several hours into trying to keep our front yard dandelion free this spring (the back yard is an entirely different story).  The past few days everywhere I drive the air is full of dandelion fuzz.  To my dismay the wind has been blowing gently towards our house so that consequently this evening the front lawn is full of dandelion seeds.  The edges in particular look like the soft down of a bird.  Ugh!  So as crazy as I know I looked I dragged my vacuum outside and vacuumed the millions of seeds lining the edges of our lawn.  Yes I know it is crazy that I vacuumed our lawn but it worked great!

Morning snack

This morning when James woke up and called for me I came into his room to find him chewing.  I said, 'good morning!  What are you doing?'  He said, 'I eating.'  Me, 'what are you eating?'  Him, in a very happy voice, 'I eating buggers!'
