I had a wonderful Mother's Day spent with my family and MIL at the lake for a picnic and then later my girls made me a wonderful quesadilla dinner, it felt great to have someone wait on me for a change:)

My nemesis the chipmunk is back again this year and has already wrecked havoc on my tomato plants, I put them in 3 days ago, and completely ate my cantaloupe plants.

This is what I have left


This is what I should have

It looks like chipmunk traps in the not too distant future

We had a nice block party tonight and finally got to burn some of our pile of wood the street Dept. still hasn't come to get.

Copper has a dog friend he plays with next door, they love racing back and forth on ether side of the fence together and he is always pushing his toys under the fence to share with his friend. Well our neighbor came over today with a new toy for Copper because apparently his dog had too much fun with one of Copper's toys and broke it so he felt bad.

It was love at first bite, he plays with this thing non stop and so far it seems indestructable

This week is teacher appreciation week at school so there was lots of fun stuff and treats for the teachers this week but since my girls and I love their teachers so much we had to give them each something special. Each of them got baskets full of lotion, chocolate, pens and a flower(from my garden of course)but the two little ones really adore their teachers so I found these cute little critter books( I love little critter books)for them to give as well.



I'm so grateful for the teachers my kids got this year they really matched up well personality wise especially F's her teacher loves to sing and so does she so they both just start singing together throughout the day and the rest of the class gets a kick out of it. It's going to be sad saying goodbye to these ladies at the end of this year and I can only hope our next teachers are as wonderful and caring as the ones we are leaving behind.

Did some shopping at Walgreens today and was pretty happy with my savings especially since it's all stuff I needed anyhow. I spent $22 and got $68 worth of products (forgot to include the 2 12packs of cottonelle toilet paper in the picture)

I wasn't paying anymore money out for tree removal/ stump grinding so instead have set out to camouflage the stump and besides I always love being able to add more plants to my yard:)
