Spring Flowers

The boys were playing outside today with Aaron while I was at work. Aaron told me that Max had picked some of the newly blooming daffodils out of the garden and Liam came in to "tell on him." Max was very worried about what he had done, and Aaron said he came back in the house carrying a bucket of sand with the flowers poked back in. "Maybe they will grow back?" he asked. Aaron said he just melted seeing that, and assured Max he was not in trouble, but that he can't pick flowers out of the garden. They cleaned the dirt off the flowers and put them in a vase near my chair in the living room. "I picked you these buttercups," he said when I got home. They were just what I needed today.
