Gone Fishing...

The flower garden starters for Teacher Appreciation week.

This week is teacher appreciation week and I thought that I would make something cute for Landon to give his kindergarten teachers. It didn't go quite as planned since I wanted to give them something different every day this week. So yesterday I ran out to Target about noon to get everything I needed for a flower garden starter kit. I bought I large pack of wild flower seeds, a pack garden tags, gloves, and some garden tools. Later on at Wal-Mart I bought two inpatients. I ended up taking the tools back because I thought about someone could say they were weapons. Better safe then sorry. I then bundled everything up and put a cute little note on it about how teachers help our children grow. It was a free printable that will link if I can find it again!

When we were headed home from Target I drove the back way home in between Summit Park and Meadowbrook, not sure of the road name. Half way down the large hill I saw a older car smashed into the side of the hill and in a ditch. When I passed it there was not a soul in sight (that I could see.) Both airbags had went off. I didn't wanna stop with the kids so I freaked out and call my husband, who served as a first responder/fire fighter for 7 years. Then called 911....I know, I know backwards huh! They said that they would send someone out and to check. I went straight to the bus stop to get Landon and then home to get my hubby for family time. When I ran in the house to grab something I heard then toning out the fire depts. I freaked out... Via the scanner I learned that someone was trapped in the car with multiple injuries & if I understood right one lady made it out of the car but was injured too. Oh My Word...all I could think was that I should have stopped right then & not waited to call 911 (even thought it was only a minute.)  I saw a fire fighter responding that I know from school. I am going to message him and see if everyone was OK. God I pray they were.

On a brighter note my husband bought a fishing pole yesterday, I myself found this kinda strange that he was buying himself something when mothers days is in a few days...shouldn't he be picking me something out! Anyways, all five of us ended up at a little lake in Salem. It was such a nice quite evening, so peaceful. Well expect for the fact that my littlest babies fear NOTHING. Emily almost ended up in the water 3 times & Richard throw his sippy cup and snack cup to the fish. Joel didn't caught anything...he is a cast & reel and do it again kinda guy. I ended up going back to the van with the little ones, while we let the big guys finish up & bonded somemore. Later we went to Dairy Queen. I slipt a Strawberry Cheese Quake mini with Richard...him & I both loved it. And Joel, oh my, he got the sweetest frozen peanut butter hot chocolate. It was so rich and sinnful.
