Beautiful Orchids

Olivia bought me a beautiful Orchid for Mother's Day.  She even picked it herself.

She literally picked it herself.

Scott and Olivia went to pick up some donuts from Hy-Vee on Sunday morning.  As they were walking in the door I could tell the trip did not go as smooth as usual.

Scott let Olivia pick out whatever flower she wanted to give me.  Of course she picked the most expensive one and he let her hold it in the car on the way home.

Olivia was all smiles when she walked in and handed me the pretty pink flower and said: "here Mommy, I picked you a flower".  Scott then handed me the pot that it was once planted in.

I am now nursing an Orchid stem and leaves.  Hopefully it will bloom once again.

I guess this is what we get for having Olivia pick the pretty yellow flowers (otherwise known as dandylions) in our backyard.
