Ice cream, paint, flowers and fun!

It was my weekend off and we had Alaina and Ruby overnight on Friday.
The weather is still cool here, but Spring has arrived and the local ice cream spot is open again.   Alaina has been asking to go get ice cream for a while, so we stopped on our way home.

A good, yummy time was had by all!


On Saturday, Bob had to work.  His store was having a special kids event though.  Kids could come in and make something for their Moms for Mothers Day, so we went in and visited Grandpa and checked out the kids event.

First they painted the pots.

Then they worked on a card for their Mom.

While the paint dried, we wandered around the store and looked at all the animals that are mounted on the walls.

 They got to pick out the flowers they wanted, and planted them in their pots.

 There was popcorn to eat!

Here are the finished works of art, all ready for their Mom.
The girls had such fun making these.  I brought them home, a little tired but excited to give them to Laura.  Actually Ruby was so excited that she tipped hers over as she handed it off.  It was easily fixed though.
It was a good weekend!
