Mother's Day, Daisies, Butterflies and Soccer

Lots to catch up on again!  Mother's Day was last weekend and I went to Lily's school on the Friday before so be served lemonade and cookies by her - truth is she ate two cookies and drank all my lemonade!  I took her home with me that day however and we went for lunch and spent the afternoon together so that was nice.

 Sunday was actually Mother's Day and I awoke to the annual gift pickings from the Dollar Store from both girls.  My favorite was the "over the hill" necklace that Lily had a hand in.

The day we spent at the ballpark for our second Phillies game this year.  We are 2-0 when we attend!



Our Daisy meeting this week was a field trip to Build A Bear which each girl got to pick their own bear and outfit for free because of the great cookie selling they all did this year.  To say they all had a good time would be an understatement  - it was the first field trip we did that had 100% participation!



Remember the caterpillars we were raising into butterflies?  They all cocooned and became butterflies!  We released them yesterday afternoon.

Yesterday was both soccer day for Lily and Little League day at the complex up the street.  I also had farm orientation at Pennypack for the crop share we bought this year.  After the farm orientation I ran up the ballpark and got 10 raffle tickets and threw them into the bags for 10 different baskets then we headed to Lily's soccer game.  Her coach and 3 out of 8 players were not there because of little league committments so Gary Summer and Parker stepped up and coached as best they could!



When Lily wasn't doing this on the field:
she actually got into a breakaway and almost scored her first goal - almost - the despair at missing and watching the game continue on around her could not be more evident ...


We got home and were relaxing fnally when my phone started going crazy - those raffle tickets I bought?  I won a basket again this year!  And it was a doozy - for the one dollar I put into the chance I won $185 in gift cards!  Not a bad deal at all.
