+ This weekend was lovely, and the weather even better too. On Sunday, I dropped the boys off at Southdale to watch “UP”. Then I went to Mall of America for some shopping. (I’m so in need of new clothes.) After Mike & Max were done watching the movie, they caught a bus to MOA. We planned it that way since Max loves to ride buses & trains. It worked out nicely, and I was able to get at least 3 hours of shopping time. Although I was only able to get 3 shirts, a skirt, and a pair of sandals.

+ Here’s the sympathy arrangement I made for Maysee’s Aunt that passed away. RIP Mrs. Olson. Maysee & her sisters found a picture online of what they liked, so I just worked off of that. The arrangement was huge. At least 4 feet tall & 3 feet wide. There were dendrobium orchids, cymbidium orchids, gladiolas, hydrangeas, irises (from my backyard too!), and wax flowers. All of the flowers were just gorgeous.

+ I actually have a busy summer this year, so I’m kind of glad that I didn’t take a class. I have my sister’s baby shower to throw, some flower arrangement projects, some craft projects, a couple of weddings to attend, house maintenance projects, swim classes for Max, and we might go somewhere on vacation.

    Oh, Minna! I love that flower arrangement. The flowers look humongous too! Wowzers!

    I hear you’re doing the flower arrangements for Helly & Yimeem’s wedding?! Isn’t that exciting! Can’t wait to see what you have in store!

    BTW, where are you going for swim classes? I’ve been looking at some programs, but I want affordability & dependability. Let me know.

    Hiyana: Thanks for link. I bet it’s gonna be a madhouse though. We hate crowds, so I doubt we’ll be going.

    Yeah, I’m really excited to do Helly & Yimeem’s flowers for them. I hope it turns out beautiful.

    As for swim classes, we are looking into YMCA (IMO it’s a little pricey), but I’m going to research some more. I’ll let you know if I find anything decent.
