Today, we did a little May Day celebrating.
I put together the needed supplies last night, so when the girls woke up this morning, they could get right to work making their May baskets.
I kept the supplies simple - tin cans, scrapbook and vintage wallpaper papers, ribbons, tags, buttons, and wire.
Once the baskets were completed, we went for a walk through our yard and gathered any and all flowers we could find that were blooming.
Next came the best part - "Ding" and "Dash"!
Although the girls didn't really "Dash", they loved delivering their handmade baskets.
It was a fun day!
What fun and how sweet! Looks like the girls really enjoyed this! Happy May Day.

when i was little i would always pick a bouquet for my mom and put in on the front porch, ring the doorbell and dash around to the back of the house. this is such a darling tradition you are teaching your girls. happy may day!
ReplyDeleteKaroline this is just too cute for words. Each picture tells the sweetest story. A memory made that your little ones will cherish forever.

ReplyDeleteI love this - it reminds me of my own sweet girls. We did that just a couple of years. good memories!
ReplyDeleteKaroline, your little girls are just darling!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to be one of your neighbors to receive those lovely May baskets. I think it's wonderful that you keep this tradition alive, I don't know of anyone that actually does this anymore!
