Day one with Mom!

Mom's here...woo hoo! Here's a little bit of what we did today... Feed the birds, tuppence a bag. We haven't fed the ducks since we lived in Tempe, so today we went on a duck hunt of sorts. We found two...and fed them weirdo organic crackers that Max won't eat and hot dog buns from 7-11. yum yum. Max threw a few pieces , and then macked on the rest of the bun. And while we were walking around HB Central Park, Mar Mar was so excited to find Sweet Gum Balls from the Sweet Gum Tree! She wanted to make a wreath with them, so Max helped her collect all the pokey little balls. He loved it!

Check out all of them on the ground! and in the trees!


Then we went to the park, came home, had lunch, played for a bit and put Max down for his nap: and let the festivities begin: We made Fabric Flower Corsage Pins for Easter Sunday...Ivy's blessing day. One for me, and one for each Grandma.
and I finished off Ivy's blessing shoes...they had those little pink rose buds on them, and I just replaced them with big-ums bows!

We're just filling up the time with fun things until Ivy comes!
