During the fall parent/teacher conference week, all of the kids had school except for Sean (kindergarten teachers have to take the whole day for conferences). While the kids, except Sean, were all at preschool, I had about an hour or so to get some shopping done. I ran inside to grab my list and as I was getting my keys, I noticed a bag of tulip bulbs that I had been meaning to plant. I had the thought that I should not go shopping but spend some quality time with my son who really doesn’t get that much one on one time with mom, being the 3rd/middle child. So I told Sean we were going to plant. He was so excited. I dug the holes and he dropped the bulb in and covered it with dirt. I could just picture the look on his face in the spring when they started coming up, knowing he had planted them with me.
fast forward a few months…
Look what started coming up! And so far we have counted about 10 of the 12. The look on this boy’s face is why I took a moment to slow down.
Happy Spring!!!

So glad they popped up- and he got to see them! I remember when I would plant with my mom the joy that it brought to see something that I did grow...
Oh, this is so sweet...
I love it! I'll have to send over a picture of my little bulb garden out front. Most of my bulbs came from Wal-Mart @ $1.50 or less per pot. I always look for pots with multiple bulbs to get the most for my money! Face it, I'm cheap! The plants spread and get thicker every year. Yay!
That's so sweet. Great foresight to what he needed :) Booyeah. That will look so pretty out front too!!
Such a sweet boy and a sweet mom :) Love you all!!!
