Mommy Day
Current mood: amused
I spent Saturday with my mom at the camp. I stopped at a garden center on the way down to get her the most beautiful hanging basket I could find. Even if it did cost me $30. I found one I liked and carted it to the register. OMG it weighed in at about 40lbs. Looks great hanging on the deck though. But we had to have it on the corner because if we hung it where it should have gone, you wouldnt be able to see any passing cars. Yeah it is that big. Plus mom also made it a point to let everyone know that I would whine about the bees being too close to me. Sheesh. Well yeah its true. I do whine about the bees. But only because I am allergic to them. Wait....she is too. Whats her beef? She would have been whinning too. Thanks mom.
It was a nice day overall but the flooding was unreal. Poor Mousie had lake front property added to his lake front property. If he wanted a pool we could have installed one. We pulled up and there he was with his son digging trenches to empty out Lake Mousie. It floods there every year.
We have this dog that hangs around the park and its a small blessing for me because I really miss mine. This dog is a huge black lab that is so darn sweet. He ended up on the seat of the golf cart and slept for about 2 hours. Covered it in mud. Mouse decided that he needed this cart to get across the lake and had to clean up after the dog. Off he goes with my daughter and they then try to lose the dog in the mean time.
Around and around they go with the dog chasing him. He prolly would have lost him sooner if it werent for the little scream of "Mousie, hes still following us". So he drives up close to a tree and the dog stops and sidesteps the tree. Smart dog. Even smarter than a Mouse. He he he....
Well they pass a mother and little girl walking and the dog stops to be petted so they take off like a bat out of hell and leave him there. About a half hour later, a cart comes down our road and wouldnt you know it, the dog is close behind. He then sees my moms cart and up he goes and lays down. Back to sleep and covered in mud. He knows where the best place to sleep is. Truthfully, I think he likes the attention he gets at our site.
So we are all freezing our asses off and gathered around the fire. Mouse's son and daughter in law were down for the weekend from Vermont. His other son and his wife camp there too and they came to visit. Plus his daughter and her husband were there as well. It was a great time and we had fun all chatting around the fire.
My daughter wanted smoores but we had put copper in the fire to make the colors come out and she was whinning up a storm because we promised her that she could have some. So here is Mouse fishing out the wire so that she can make them. Now shes happy. Ahhh the little things to amuse a child. And all it takes is a Mouse to make her happy. He will do anything to please his little precious pumpkin. HA!!! Wait til he has to spend all summer with her. Thats ok because hes the one that got her a new fishing pole and a new little remote control boat to play with on the lake and he has a remote control jetski for him to play with. Im thinking he wont be complaining at all.
So here she is eating the smoores and I noticed that there is blood coming out of her mouth. OMG Im freaking out. What could possibly be in a smoore that would cause her mouth to bleed? Well whaddya know, its her front tooth that has been loose since October. There is another tooth pushing it out but it wont let go. So her dad offers her $5 to pull it out herself. Well what child in her right mind would say no to that? So she puts down her stick and yanks on it. She yanks and yanks and it wont come out.
He takes a cloth and pulls on it for her. Mind you that she is clinging tightly to that $5 bill. She wont let that go. Shes not that stupid. PING...out it comes and she just stands there stunned. We all cheer her on and she turns and smiles. Somewhere in the mix of chocolate, cracker, marshmallow and blood is a hole in her mouth. Shes so proud that she puts her tongue in it and laughs. How evil can this child be? The first thing she says is, "Now I can spit even farther with the two teeth missing." Oh the joy of that lesson learned.
She cleans her mouth out and comes back outside. Shes so excited that she runs over to grab her stick and asks for more chocolate and marshmallow. She has no use for the crackers now. She got a taste of the good stuff.
All in all it was a pretty darn good day for everyone. Mom had fun and she loves her flowers. I will bring more down next week because that is a big thing for us there. We have flowers hanging everywhere and it makes it so nice there. Along with all the things hanging and stuck in the ground too. Between the hummingbird feeders, the whirlythingys on rods stuck in the ground and the spinner and windchimes hanging on the deck, the flowers add a nice touch to our crazy place we call our summer home.
