"Flowers" for Grandma

Last night after the boys had their wagon ride, we were walking toward the house when Luke noticed some dandelions in the grass. It's rained recently and everything is really green so we had a few weeds.

"Oh, pretty flowers!" Luke exclaimed.

"Pretty!" Liam echoed.

"Boo-tiful!" Luke said.

They each wanted one, and I picked one too and said why don't we give them to grandma so she can put them in a vase for a bouquet. They liked that idea. I remember when I was little, thinking that I would pick a lovely bouquet of them for my mom, not knowing they were weeds. She took them gratefully and put them in a vase, and this time she did the same.







"I'm going night-night," Luke announced. They have this game where they just drop down to the floor or ground and pretend to snore and say "night-night"--except of course when it actually IS bedtime.
And Grandma's bouquet...my guys were so proud!

Zoie's been picking 'flowers' too! I showed her how to rub them under chins to see if people like butter - or "butta" as she says! And she does the "nite-nite" & snore thing too...she tells me, "Mommy...cwose your eyes!", then, "Mommy...tell me it's time to wake up!" They're SOOO much fun!!

Wow the grass is looking so green already! Yeah, I hear you on playing tired until it's actually sleep time. Life's been going downhill since Lauren started crawling out of her crib a week ago!

Hannah reacts to the flowers the same way your boys do. hehehe She says things like, "Pretty or Beautiful flowers!" Occasionally she will say with delight, "Goodness!" LOL Don't you love their reaction to nature, they don't take advantage of it that's for sure! Hannah loves to pick all the dandelions in the fields, which definitely keeps her busy! LOL Cute pictures of the boys!

That is so sweet...Give some to grandma. I too remember giving the yellow and pink ones to my Nana thinking they were such pretty flowers and not learning till later that they were actually weeds!

So cute with the night night too. Mine will do the same thing. The pretend snoring thing is the funniest part!
