Last Saturday we finally found a kite for Emily. She loves to watch Mary Poppins and has always wanted to fly a kite. We searched a couple of stores and finally found a couple at Kings in Shelley---good ole Kings! Emily was so afraid we were going to let go that she screamed most of the time. But that was okay because Ben had fun seeing how high he could let it go without losing it. He is just like a little kids sometimes, I love it!!
Here is a picture of the roses sent me for our anniversary---I thought they were beautiful. Funny story though....When the lady brought them to me she asked me to sign the paper. While signing she asked "What is the occasion" I answered it is my 4th year wedding anniversary." (Keep in mind that I was still in my pjs, no make-up and I had 2 children screaming in the background) and then smiled and added "and now 4 years and 2 children later here we are..." She answered by glaring at me and said "You don't want to hear my story" and while storming away from my front porch she yelled "You have it good!" I was left in awe!! Where the heck did that come from. My sister and I came up with many reasons why she could be so bitter. Maybe she was going through a bad divorce because her husbannd never sent her flowers, yet her occupation happened to be a florist delivery person. So to that poor florist delivery person I wish to say "Thanks for the flowers and for filling my day full of sunshine!"

Ok- that story about the flower lady made me laugh really hard! How random is she? Thats very funny!
Poor lady! I think you're probably right about why she is so bitter. Has "Up With People" heard about her?
Wow what a funny story, and what pretty flowers to go with it! (: p.s. Your Welcome for brightening your evening/life years ago with a Mr. Willoughby. (:
I have got to go to Kings and find myself a kite. That looks like so much fun! Pretty flowers!!
You should have just come to our house to get a kite....we have about 20 of them....airplanes, dragons, trick kites--just no princess ones, but I am sure they will come! :) We are a big kite family! Looks like you had a great time though. Love the flower story....funny, she should be a HAPPY person delivering flowers instead of bitter....maybe she really hates her job!
I delivered flowers in high school but I never yelled at anyone! I do feel sorry for her she must be really sad and bitter like you said! That was actually the easiest most happy job I ever had because I got to make people smile ALL DAY! Congratulations on 4 years!
