Mother's Day and other things

It's been a bit of a busy week with lots of misc activities going on. Last weekend we went to the zoo. I am not sure why EmmaLi wanted to go to the zoo. She knew her school class was going to go to the zoo on Thursday for a field trip but for some reason she really wanted to go to the zoo. At any rate we went to the zoo twice last week. Here is a picture of EmmaLi when she and I went.
The next pictures were taken on EmmaLi's field trip. I went as chaperon. Below are two pictures of the class followed by two pictures of EmmaLi with her boy friend. She just love this little boy named Trent. Quite honestly, I can see why. He is just the sweetest little boy and he too cute for words.




Below are pictures of EmmaLi with her friend Trent. At Christmas I was on the floor wrapping presents and EmmaLi was on the floor helping me. We had been talking about a variety of things when suddenly she says "Mom, I broke up with Trent today." I nearly lost it. I said "Well, I didn't know you were going out with Trent. Why did you break up with him?" She said 'Well, we were outside playing on the play ground. I was running and he was running behind me. I stopped and looked behind myself and Trent wasn't there. Then I found him sitting on the concrete bein' hot. So, I broke up with him." Apparently, after Christmas they got back together because she said that he was her boyfriend again. I just love that boy. They play together very well and


For Mother's Day we had planned to go to the lake for a picnic and a little frolicking on the beach at the lake. Unfortunately, a bad storm (and cold front) came through. This morning it was cold and cloudy. We changed our plans to go bowling instead. We had our picnic lunch in the living room and headed to the bowling alley. Unfortunately, when we got there we found out they didn't open until 1:30. We had an hour to spend so we headed to the flea market. We picked up some tomatoes and raw honey, and looked at the pets, dropped the stuff off at home and headed back to the bowling alley only to find the doors still locked and no lights on. I am not sure what happened but they didn't have a note on the door.

Once home I told EmmaLi we could get the sprinkler out that she had gotten for Easter. She ran in the house at the speed of light and changed her clothes and put on her water shoes and was ready to get wet. That sprinkler thing had water flying in every direction and literally could be placed in the middle of the yard and could water the entire yard. She is going to have so much fun with that thing this summer. She got a little water on her today and was too cold but she had fun.

We then went to get some new sand for her sand and water table. She now has purple sand. I cleaned it and filled it with water and she had fun for an hour before coming in the house.

While I wouldn't say our Mother's Day was one of the best ever given we didn't get to do any thing that we planned, I will say it has been a great day. It started off as best as it possibly could. EmmaLi and I slept in until 9:30am. This morning after breakfast she came in and gave me a big bear hug and said "I love you so much! You are the best Mommy in the whole wide world! Happy Mother's Day!" Now what could possibly spoil a day that starts off like that?
