Mother's Day

2024-05-12

This week we did school and Recess - and the park with the creek finally opened! Dad and I got out for some bike rides when it wasn't raining, and we finally finished reading A Short History of Nearly Everything, which was not exactly "short". And here are the pictures:

The rabbit is back..right in the middle of the strawberries.

I mowed the lawn! Dad helped a little, but I did almost all of it myself.

Mother's Day was this weekend. Since Mom hasn't been feeling well, Dad and I tried to help out by doing some cleaning and some of the other work Mom usually does. Dad bought some plants for the house - a spider plant and some Gerber daisies (Mom's favorite).

Mother's Day flowers - Dad built the roses out of LEGO (from the set Grandpa Al bought). They look pretty good.

After lunch on Sunday we went to deliver some flowers to Moms/Grandmas. Unfortunately, GG was not home and we woke up Grandpa Kevin from a nap. And then we forgot to get a picture of Grandma Wynne with her flowers (they were white orchids). But we did get pictures with Abby and Loki. And Mom got an orchid, too - hers is yellow and purple.

After our short visits, we headed home. Mom and I played Civilization Revolutions on the XBOX for a bit, and then we had supper and watched our current TV shows, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and The Good Place.

And that was my week - take care!
