Well, mothers day is creaping up again, and i may not get my ring... i say may because at the end of the month I am going to go buy it myself i think).... i may not get my ring but i did get this :

it looks a little rough because it made its way home from school in a shopping bag... being swung dragged and whatever else a six year old boy does with a plant on the way home from school! A full hallf of the poor little plants dirt was out and in the bottom of the bag, BUT he painted the pot all by himself AND planted the flower by himself!
this now answers why he was so insistant he know " three of your favorite colors , mom" he was supposed to add stripes to the pot, but he ran out of time LOL
i think it is wonderful!
thanks Parker!
