Flower Arranging from Our Garden

This rose is my first full blown bloom of the season :) I currently only have 4 rose bushes, but am hoping to replace the two the deer ate to death soon. This is one of my favorite pinks, though. Did I mention these are huge blooms?

We have a rose, an iris stem, some rosemary and a mint sprig alongside our water and vase.

Mr. T loves anything where he gets to pour water. Check out that grin :)

I told you they were huge blooms!

Mr. T's finished floral arrangement for us to enjoy for a few days. I love having flowers we can cut and keep in the house to make things pretty and for Mr. T to develop an appreciation for all God's beauty.

Table Setting Tray

So that place mat I made forever ago finally got pulled out to practice table setting! We got a band set for Christmas and the wooden crate it came in was a perfect fit for the mat, and I can carry the supplies we need for practicing on it no problem. We decided that since Mr. T can reach his activity table better than the kitchen table, we'd practice here first. 

Mr. T really likes puzzles so this was right up his alley! He had a ton of fun figuring out what went over which shape and then moving things around and taking everything off and starting again. I had a blast just watching him concentrate (quietly) for such a long time :)

And once everything was all put away, Mr. T decided it was time to take a ride in the tray. My little ham. What do you use to help teach your little ones how to help out around the house?
