lemony goodness - Eureka!

So, my sister, who is approximately 3000 miles away from me right now {but hopefully not forever} in Greenwich, CT following her free spirit and creative soul, thought I deserved a little gift for being such an amazing little sister {yes, Crystal, we are finally reaching the years that I'm excited to say that I'm younger. Go ahead and call me your "baby sister". I dare ya!}

She read my post about my lemon striped lemon tree, or Eureka Lemon Tree if you will, and decided jump into action. She knew that my Mothers Day gift from D, although absolutely AMAaaaZING, wasn't the tree that had consumed my thoughts for days and days...and days so she got on the horn and rounded up the cutest litle baby lemon tree for me.

By the box, I thought "man, this baby's huge!" but sometimes little things come in big packages {isn't that how it goes?} and by the time I figured out how to open it here is what I found.

Along with this.

{Love You. Love, Crystal}

I then spent 20 minutes cutting tape from around my new little tree and finally came to this.

It's tiny. I know. But I plan to nurture and love this little tree until it gives me those stripedy lemons I so long for. And those fragrant flowers I need in the winter when I can't even stand to look outside.

Thank you, Crystal for your love and thoughtfulness.

I love you!

Water {Fun}

We bought the kids a little water table so they can enjoy the warm weather we've been having.

Let me start over...

We bouth the kids a little water table to keep them busy so we can get some yard work done.

Mason played for a while then Brookie woke up from her nap and joined in on the fun.

love the bed-head!

They love playing with it but have learned how fun it is to get almost all the water out by dumping buckets into Mommy's flowers then adding dirt to whatever water is left to make a big mud pit.
Hmmm, I guess I won't get any yard work done.
