Ebert's and Escalades

What a fun two days Grandpa and I just had spending time with our Tiz! Yesterday Tiz came for Preschool as she usually does on Wednesdays. I asked if she could spend the night and have an extra day of Preschool this week to prepare for our Spring sing program, so that is what she did and we took full advantage of our time together. The weather was absolutely beautiful which certainly helped our fun outing to Ebert's Greenhouse.
Look at all the pretty colors in this greenhouse! Tiz is decked out in her flower hat to fit right in with the other beautiful blooms.

Here she is leading the way in another greenhouse. She took great pleasure in leading us all around the entire place.

And of course, she chose many, many favorite plants that she thought she needed for her very own garden. Most of these did not make it to the check out.

And just look at the prettiest bloom in the place. We quickly scooped up this rare variety of plant life and took it with us.

And her favorite place to play at Ebert's was in all the different fountains. Here she is washing her hands and splashing in the water.

We ran a few errands when we got home from Ebert's which included Walmart, Joanne's, Ace, and Farm and Fleet. We were on a search for flowers for my dad's grave. We finally found some and headed to the cemetery to put them up. Tiz had fallen asleep so she slept soundly while we did the decorating.

We got back to our house, she and grandpa planted tomatoes and played outside, I made dinner.

While eating her grilled cheese, she announced that she needed to ride in her Escalade for a bit after dinner, so that is what we did.

Now, I think most three year olds would just call it "their car," but not our Tiz, she calls it what it is, her Escalade! Too funny.

This is how Grandpa has to get the Escalade to the parking lot.

Tiz also enjoys driving her Escalade on the abandoned road below our hill. She loves this road because there are three speed bumps. Who doesn't love to take their Escalade over speed bumps.

"Breaker 1-9, Breaker 1-9." And yes, this CB really works with her voice blaring out of the speakers. The radio and CD player also work! This Escalade has more features than our Kia!

After a lovely drive, it was time to push the car back up the hill.

We did some cutting and then it was bedtime. We made the mistake of calling Alissa before bed and they got each other all riled up, but sleep finally came for her and now at 6:30, she is still asleep. John will bring her to school today and then we are heading out for a picnic and play at Imagination Station before returning her to her home.
