Random Monday

I have a few things to share today, so I am stealing Sariah's random day ideas... Here goes.

********************

Last year, M discovered dandelions. She found them pretty and picked every one from our yard that she could find. I had mason jars full of them all over my kitchen for weeks. This year however, we have no grass and thus we have no dandelions to deal with either. I may not mind, but she definitely has a problem with this development.

While playing with her and L in the yard the other day, we discovered that some of the local weeds have flowers. Thus a new game was born. Pick as many flowering weeds as you can. They are "pretty" after all right? M has also discovered some weeds that she calls "Ticklers" because they are somewhat feathered on the top and she attempts to tickle all of us with them.

I was given a new vase as a housewarming gift on Friday... I wanted to go buy some beautiful cut flowers to put into it. M decided that weeds would be much better.

The funny thing is that I remember picking weed flowers for my mother when I was a young girl. I always picked the orange ones because my mom loves the color orange. For me, M picks purple and yellow...

********************

The Easter Bunny came this weekend. Because of our girl's horse fetish, and the fact that they already have many stuffed bunnies around the house, the girls were each given a stuffed unicorn instead of a rabbit this year.

They set them up this morning on the table in my Living Room... They had separated out the candy haul to chocolate eggs and jelly beans. I was told that one unicorn was the guard of the eggs and the other would protect the jelly beans. Too bad the big bad mommy knows how to circumvent the guardians...

It is insanely windy again today. The corgi is confused with all the noise in the house so he keeps waking up from his nap to bark at the strange sounds... Wish I could comfort him, he is following me around like crazy today. Whenever I leave a room, he walks right in front of my feet. Only he walks slow so I will notice him. I am pretty tired of tripping over my new shadow. When I stop in a room for a while, he lays down for another nap. But you better believe that when I walk out of the room again, he is right there in front of my feet.

Anyone who uses the phrase 'easy as taking candy from a baby' has never tried taking candy from a baby.
