Mothers Day Fun!

So we rushed to the Valley this morning to surprise mom for when she got back from church. It was very fun to be waiting on the front step to wave when she pulled in! We had hoped to garden all day with mom as a nice mothers day present, however it rained so instead of digging in the gardens I weeded the front lawn with a really cool weeding tool that we have at Halifax Seed. At Halifax Seed it is called "Grandpas Weeder" and its a poll with a contraption on the end for pulling weeds out of the ground. I was skeptical, but it turned out to be a really rewarding activity as I tried to hone my skills on pulling out the full weed in one movement. I did three buckets of weeds from the front yard while mom sorted out her pots and Dad and Scott did some work on the fence in the garage.
After Dinner I learned how to make a culinary masterpiece that mom has made for her little boy at school - Octapus hotdogs. Fairly straight forward how to make, but entirely cute! I will need to practice making the faces, but overall first attempt was successful!
