The boys and Pappy had great adventures yesterday, heading out to a nearby pond. They reported seeing turtles, frogs, geese, and goslings or "baby goose" according to M. T was most excited to tell about a green snake sighting on the walk back. M had reached down to pick up a green worm only to find it was no worm at all! They enjoyed watching it slither into the bushes.
Later Pappy and M had the World Piston Cup race with the two Lighting McQueens. M won and insisted that he and Pap lie on the floor to reminisce about the race. Too cute! :)
These shots are from earlier in the week when we received quite a delivery of mulch. Can you imagine a better time for little boys? Many, many thanks to my dad for ALL of his amazing work getting this distributed to the flower beds. I had to hold back a bit, but confess to helping a little with the mulch raking. It's the old landscaper in me!! As of today, our beds look beefy and beautiful even though the torrential rains this week have removed a lot of the dark brown dye. The beds already look so aged. Oh well!
And here is the latest on our petunia sprouts. They are making their way toward any and all sunlight. We haven't yet had to water, which is great because I would probably overwater and kill the poor things! The best has been watching the boys inspect the sprouts daily. They love to show any visitors our newest growth. Now we are waiting for first leaves to sprout and then we will "thin the herd", providing our own natural selection for the biggest and healthiest in each pod. That will be hard to do. I want them all to live... blah, blah. :)
We were so sad to say final farewells to my parents this morning. :( Sniff, sniff. They have literally brought me back to life with their care and love. Thank you, Mom and Dad!! You have saved me once again. Little did they know that parenting continued past 30 years. :) lol. They are the best and we are so blessed by them. Our quality of life this week has been through the roof!!
So that's the latest from corner of the world. I do hope this finds you well. We send our love and very best Friday wishes to you today.

sounds so wonderful, B! Thank God for parents! He really knows what's He's doing, doesn't He?
Go God!
keep resting as much as you can!
I just love this post. All things fun, boys and family. Both you and GG have amazing parents and y'all are definitely continuing in their footsteps. They've raised amazing people and your boys are well on their way.
M looks SO old standing on the pile of mulch! Wow, how time flies! I can't believe it has been a year since ND graduation!! Crazy!
T looks so big in that shot! My goodness! Sprouting faster than the petunias!
B! Happy Mother's Day! Thanks for the encouragement in your last comment. It was one of those days and I was really complaining. I know it is going to get better, it already has. Your 3 boys would be much better to handle bc I know you are on top of things! This girl bless her heart,her oldest is actually autistic,very mild but definitely there and to top it off she has suffered severely from PPD so she is taking lots of anxiety medication...she is very laid back now bc of the meds and does not discipline. There was much more to the picture than I divulged. I would love to be around your 3 boys...and M and T would have a shadow...litte miss ellie! Hugs to you. I love the mulch picture!
M is all grown up! Oh my goodness, I feel like they should all just be learning how to walk! Miss you Gasperinis!
