Happy Mother's Day!

This year was a little more special just because the girls prepared their gifts as a surprise at school. I never thought I would get sentimental over the "treasures" that they made but I did get a wee bit choked up. Days before Mother's Day, here was a conversation before school one day.
All of us are watching for Lily's bus in the playroom.
Lily, "Mommy, I'm not going to tell you what I got your for Mother's Day but I will give you one clue. It grows"
Me, "Hmmm...is it a baby boy? Babies grow and we don't have a boy one."
Lily, "Nope. I'll give you one more clue. It's got dirt"
Me, "Maybe a worm. Worms grow and they like dirt?"
Lacy, " I know, it's a plant!"
Lily, "LACY! I'm not giving anymore clues because I don't want you guessing!"
So, on the way to church, it comes up again...
Lily, "I'm not going to tell you what I got you for Mother's Day but I'll give you a clue, it has leaves"
Me, "Maybe a Christmas tree? It has leaves."
Lily, "No, I can't grow a Christmas tree & I GREWED (still working on our verb tense) your present"
Me, "Gosh, I don't know what it could be!
