That’s poinsettia for all you monolinguals out there. Who knew there was a place just minutes (okay like half an hour) from our house? Open just one day a year for the Annual Lions Club Poinsettia Sale.
I have never seen such a thing in my life~! Seriously THOUSANDS of poinsettias, and we went in the last hour of the sale. Unbelievable. I was kind of glad that we didn’t pop in until things had died down – for the obvious reasons people with toddlers might list, but also because Kole admittedly looked like a homeless person in his Christmas Tree Getting Gear. Those are his words, not mine.
We ended up buying some cool variety of splatter poinsettia (not painted) and a curly petal plant, too. Oh, and I won’t make you ask about that sweater Maggie’s wearing. Yes, it is the reindeer sweater Kole has been looking to purchase for himself for years now. Maggie loves it and calls it her “Udolph shirt”… It’s no coincidence that she knows the name. Somebody felt forced to play “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” on repeat for what amounted to about 45 minutes last weekend during a particularly LONG part of the long trip to Minnesota. What can we say? It made her happy – doesn’t matter that it drove us crazy.
