I had a bloggy dream this afternoon when the toddler came up the front steps with a fistful of dandelion flowers for me of taking and posting a nice, well-lit photo of them in a vase for you guys to see. I will confess that it was mostly dark before I could have taken the photo and the dandelions don't look nearly so perky right now. No photo never would have done justice to the cuteness that is my son half walking, half crawling up the steps saying "Mama, flower." I don't need Mother's Day now; that was it.
We started the day by going to a pancake breakfast and rummage sale; I made some great finds. I bought a couple of sewing patterns for 50 cents a piece and a really awesome wooden crate with rope handles from "Cape Cod Cranberries". The weather was nice today. The guys got almost finished with hanging the tile in the shower upstairs. The toddler spent his day with Grandma and came home sporting the perfect new haircut. I was able to get a few small things done around the house, take a nice long bath, and spend quite a while on the couch working on the Hoover Blanket. Hubby smoked the best ribs ever, and we ended the evening with a family trip to TCBY for frozen yogurt. I couldn't ask for a more wonderful day.
Slowly but surely this tortoise is winning the race. I managed to get most of the rest of the toddler's things out of the nursery and into his new room today. And the blanket is now 22 plus inches long; it's only headed for 36, so I'm quickly nearing the 2/3 mark. And since I'd love to get there tonight...
