Why Can't I?

"Why, Mommy, why?" Yes, the continuous 'why' question has officially begun to pretty much everything we say. Sometimes she accepts the explanation as to 'why' but other times she just keeps asking "But, why Mommy?"

On to the week's events...Dad went on a business trip mid-week so Mom, Lily & Gypsy were left to fend for themselves. On Wednesday, Lily and Mom went to the Maryland Zoo with Lily's class. The trip there and back was a bit disastrous due to too much time spent on the bus, and the bus driver getting lost, but the actual time at the zoo was tons of fun. Lily loved all of the animals, and once she looked at one animal, she was already saying "Want to see more animals."

The rest of the week, Lily, Mom and Gypsy got in some good stroller walks enjoying the warm, sunny weather. On these walks, Lily loves to collect flowers i.e. dandelions.

On Friday, Lily and Mom met up with Mrs. Michelle and Hayley for a walk around a lake, some play time at the playground, and some lunch, before heading home for a nice, long nap. The rest of the day, Lily helped Mom plant some flowers in front of the house, and then got in some water/sand table play time.

Saturday, Dad returned. The rest of the weekend was spent playing outside, and running some errands. Mom's Day was pretty low key, and both Mom and Lily got in a well-deserved lengthy afternoon nap.

Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day. Enjoy the pics!
