Sunday Randomness #54: Punch and Games

Mica won this delightful gallon of Kiwi-Strawberry Tampico Punch helping out with some after-school games a few months ago. We let it sit at the back of the fridge so it could freeze some and turn into a slushy warm weather refresher and it's surprisingly not as sweet as most of these punches. Thanks Mica for winning and sharing your treat!

Check out that cool lime green color-all thanks to the wonders of artificial food dyes.  Which, I should add, we typically try to avoid but there are exceptions to many things in life.  Including the occasional win-our family does not win things often but we feel happy when we do and we feel happy for others when they win occasionally too!

Mother's Day Flowers

My sweet children (notice the sugar bowl in the picture!) picked flowers for me from our yard.  This is just a small sampling-we have more roses coming on and several flowers have already bloomed for the season such as our tulips and many of the flowers on the fruit trees.  We also have irises blooming right now with spectacular purple column blossoms on tall green stalks.  It's been a great day to be a mom!
