Flower Week

                                               April showers bring May flowers!


How fitting that the end of April and beginning of this last week it rained to bring us the beautiful month of May. I'm very excited about this month as it brings warmer weather, Mother's Day and we put the pool up.
Anyway, it was flower week last week and we had a blast!
Monday it was raining and pouring so the theme at storytime was rain. Perfect! When we got home we painted and colored on the art wall.

My goodness the rain did not let up for 3 days so on the 1st of May we celebrated May Day by making our very own maypole inside!

(I know it's ironic to watch videos about playing outside but in my defense it rained 4 out of 6 days!)
 
Thursday was finally sunny. And just in time for our field trip to the Botanical Gardens. All three of my girls and I met up with some friends so the little ones could play. Then the girls and I had lunch and enjoyed the tram tour. Right now at the gardens they have a glass sculpture nature exhibit. All the I'm not sure that we got to see all of them but every one we saw was absolutely beautiful! It was a great day, with great company and absolutely lovely flowers and landscapes.



 
 
We rounded out the week of flowers with cupcake paper flowers and changing our decorations on our door wreath!
