Sunshine, Flowers, and RIBBONS!

Mom and Dad took a ride down to go look for some flowers with me for my outside planters. Since flowers are not really in the budget this year, I got some Portulaca (which is gorgeous pinks, oranges, and yellows) and is an annual that will blossom all summer. Hopefully they will take and spread and look great. Next year I will plan something nicer that will bloom every year, but I just wanted a quick fix and some color. Dad is doing well, still looks fragile to me, but he tagged along all through Flowerland and took us to a new little place in town for lunch. Mom and I had grilled chicken panninis with avacado and pesto. DELICIOUS!

Later, I had to pick up Billy from his very first track meet where he won first place in the discus throwing! He will get a ribbon today at school.

Matt broke his very first window with a baseball while I wasn't home (to the little shed on the side of our house). He had to go over and tell Grandpa and was still upset when I got home. The funny thing is when I left and they were throwing the ball I told them they should be using a tennis ball so they don't break a window! I think I jinxed him! Anyway, It's fine. Guy fixed it and Matt learned a lesson. I hated to see him so upset about it, but it's only a window. (Now, if it was one of my new windows in the house I think I'd be a tad more upset).

So off to the office today :( My crazy co-worker has been much more sane. I just have to make sure she eats, then she's happy. Have a good day everyone!
