it was a green day

Isn’t it amazing what a mom can do … as in my mom. She came down to play with the kids and help out yesterday morning. She sure brightened our life. The kids had so much fun with her. Her support and love helped raise my ability and attitude about doing good things with my tots.

We headed to Thanksgiving Point Gardens after school. We walked for hours enjoying the green grass and tulips. Tru enjoyed finding rocks to throw in the water. He was either holding a handful of rocks or a stick. He doddled so, but quite enjoyed himself.

One of my favorite parts was at the very end. We were so very weary. We saw the shortcut to walk up the huge hill. Max was beat. I held his hand and said in between huffing and puffing. “You…can…do…it!” Then Max said with deep breathing with every step uphill, “We…can…do…hard…things.” Once he saw the kids rolling down the hill, he found some energy and ran up to join them. It was cute.

They have a new section of the garden with large statues of Jesus. Right now most are miniatures until they get the large ones. I loved these, especially Christ Gathering chicks & “The better Part”.
