Doodle wants a garden.

Today was yet again, pretty run of the mill.  Our big project for the day was getting all the computers reset and backed up...fun fun.  lol  Doodle spent the day playing in the dirt with her new gardening set.  Unfortunately for the pups, they very quickly became more like something of a weapon.  lol  The high pitched yells and giggles as she chased the dogs around the yard trying to "sweep" them was pretty funny.  I suggested of course that we put the tools up for the time being and that after lunch, we could go get some flowers.  Whoo!!  A Doodle garden.  Sounds snazzy.

Off to the local nursery we went with a very excited little monster.  "I want flowers Mom!"  Oh do you know?  lol  Barely out of the car, she was off and running, seemingly knowing exactly what she was looking for.  Though the big glass doors a very excited and amazed Doodle exclaimed, "oh my gosh!" She was off!!  Smelling every flower she could find and telling us exactly which ones she wanted.  We very easily could have left with fifty different types of flowers.  The large figures of cows and donkeys seemed to almost be more fun that the flowers.  As we neared the back of the nursery she stopped, looked around and got very excited.  The ducks!!! Oh my gosh the ducks!  A very large display pond, full of ducks and turtles was waiting.  How on earth she remembers this from last summer I have no idea.  "MOM!!!  I want to see the ducks!!!!"  Yes, of course.  Off we ran to see the ducks.

Ducks, turtles and fish, my little monster was in animal heaven.  Oh if only we could feed them, I'm sure she would just collapse with delight.  After a few minutes of looking at the ducks, we decided that it was a bit chilly to be standing around in the breeze and opted to go look for anything else that could be fun to go with our plants.  Barely making it through the door, she spotted a cat.  Of course!  Yet another little critter for her to chase.  Unfortunately for me, there were clay pots EVERYWHERE!!!  As any parent with a toddler can imagine...your heart seemingly hits the floor.  Trying my best to waddle after her to keep her from climbing up the tower of pots, I finally caught up with my nutty little monster.  Just in time too!  We packed up our plants, paid as quickly as possible and headed for the car.

We finished up a couple of other quick errands and headed home.  Naturally, we had to take a few pictures.  She does so love flowers.  :D
