M & M

I had the two M's on Friday, to give their mommy a chance to get some things done, without chasing two little monkeys around the house! We had a blast, and even got stuff crossed off of my to-do list!

 Maia loved pulling the rolling bear around the house; the very same bear I used to pull when I was her age! :)

 I just LOVE her faces!!

In the afternoon, we went to get some bushes and trees to plant at my house. Therapy comes in many different forms, but one of my favorites is doing yard work! Especially with such a cute, little helper! Maia woke up early from her nap and was so excited to go outside with me! She LOVED the wheelbarrow ride and I almost couldn't get her to come out! :)

 These are the faces she makes trying to "smile" for the camera! lol. I just love it!

 All that smiling makes you thirsty! (especially if it's 90 degrees out, and humid!)

 Finally, a "normal smile", pulled out of her when I told her I was going to get her tickle berries. :D

 "What are they doing in my wheelbarrow??!!" lol

 Never mind that it started to rain, she still didn't want to go back inside!

She spied this ball from across the yard and was so pleased with herself!

I managed to get Miss Maia inside, out of the drizzle, but was so anxious to get the planting done that I went back out myself, and ended up getting soaked! My grandmother used to find any excuse to go do her gardening and yard work whenever it rained, because she loved the feel of the rain, running down her face! I'm not quite that extreme, but it was fun! My back is feeling all the tree pruning, weed pulling, shrub trimming, rock piling action, but I love it, and love how everything looks so clean and fresh! Now for some new mulch...
