Flowers . . . .

What a busy weekend!
Dan, Emily and Louie went to a Pump It Up birthday party yesterday, it is the "inflatable party zone." Sounds like sensory overload for me, but the kids had fun. I guess the idea is that you load up kids with sugar (aka: cake and ice cream) and then let them loose in this building that is full of slides, jumpers, bouncing and climbing things.
While they went to that, I headed to Cottage Grove for a baby shower for my friend Sara. She is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her little baby girl, Charlotte Mary, from Guatemala. My, how baby things have changed since Emily was born. . . .
Today, it was such a beautiful day, we went to Gerten's and got some pansies for the front steps and also some begonias for later. We got the herbs for the garden. We also decided to give growing watermelons a try. Last year we bought these black ball shaped watermelons from Gertens and they were soooo delicious. We thought if we could find seeds, we'd try and grow some. Well, they had some. Now we just need to get the ground ready to plant them, soon! These watermelons were the best that we've ever had. So delicious! Can't wait. I hope they grow.
After naps, we went to Fabulous Ferns for dinner with Tapios and Grandma. It was Charlie's confirmation at the Cathedral this afternoon. It was fun to see everyone.
