Painting Flower Pots

Grace spent today making a very special project for her two fabulous grandmothers! Grace painted Maddy & Memere their own flower pot. Grace chose the colors for each flower pot on her own. Grace had remembered that Maddy's favorite color is blue so Maddy's pot is full of different shades of blue whereas Memere's pot is more on the yellow side. Later this afternoon Grace and I visited a local greenhouse where we spent lots of time finding the perfect flowers to fill the flower pots. We will plant the flowers tomorrow. It will be so exciting for Grace to give Memere her pot when we see her this weekend and to give Maddy her pot in early July.
Grace was very gentle with all of the flowers at the greenhouse. She was very careful not to touch the flowers as she bent over to smell nearly all of them!! Grace told Daddy all about painting the flower pots and about her exciting trip to the greenhouse when he returned home from work. It was a very fun day for us.

My Most Precious Grace,
I don't even know what to say!
I love the flower pots soooo much.
How absolutely wonderful it will be for Poppy&I and Memere&Pepere to have our birdhouses and flower pots made by you! We will treasure them forever. You do have the prettiest gentle hands. You were born with that gentle touch of yours! You may be gentle, Grace but you are hard-working and always learning! You are beautiful in the greenhouse!
I Love You Blueberry Pie,
Your Loving and Inspired Maddy

PS~ Dear Rebecca,
You are so creative and tremendous.
In a word.....perfect!

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
