Happy May Day!


   The girls had such fun delivering flowers to our neighbors today!  It was raining, so they had to run fast.:)  They rang the doorbell and left flowers as a surprise!

    Clara is looking better! (and Katie is looking pretty cute, too;) )

    Did anyone surprise you with flowers today??

    I was just wondering if any kids still did this? I used to do this as a little girl ~ It was so exciting to me! When Noelle gets older I will help her along so she gives flowers on May day too!
    Hey, I called you and left a message, at least I hope it was you!!!! Baaahaaahaaa!
    I'm glad Clara is looking better~♥

    Tim and I will watch Survivor when he gets home and things settle down a bit, it ought to be a couple more hours till he gets home!

    Have a great weekend Sweetie!
    Me~♥

    I bet the girls did have a blast delivering flowers. You know I have never heard of all the May Day traditions that I have read on the blogs today. I think Lexi would really enjoy making a May Day basket and delivering them to a few neighbors. Next year we will have to do it!!! I'm glad Clara is looking better. Both of your girls are precious!!!

    I just have to tell you I enjoyed talking on the phone to you sooooo much!!!!!! That was just too much fun hearing your voice! Hope to talk to you again soon.♥

    I loved May Day as a kid, I'm sure the girls had a great time spreading May Day throughout the neighborhood, love the photo of the flowers, tulips are one of my favorites.

    Wonderful...I love this tradition!

    {Today is our anniversary, so getting flowers on May Day is an annual event!} ;)

    Have a lovely weekend!

    So sweet! I've never heard of this before...Although I did think of getting the kids to take some to their teachers--then forgot!

    Hi Lori
    I loved hearing about this tradition. We don't have it over here. How lovely for your neighbours to receive surprise flowers from your lovely girls.
    The first Monday in May is a national holiday over here. We call it May Day Monday. We hope to go to a May Day Gala nearby which is usually fun.
    Have a lovely weekend.
    Lindsay
