We attempted to teach our kids about their ancestors and those who have selflessly served our country on Memorial Day. It was a nice thought, but didn't turn out exactly the way I thought it would. I think the girls learned and enjoyed it, but we have got a long way to go in terms of teaching respect. Our little lovelies were stepping on the headstones, stealing flowers, scaling fences, and at one point Nicholas was wearing some rosary beads. Fortunately my husband put them back where they belonged before I had a chance to snap a picture. I also just pulled an entire handful of flowers out of a couple of pockets while sorting laundry. I'm sure they were meant to be souvenirs.

LOL I thought this post was so funny. I can just imagine you running around trying to keep order in the cemetery by replacing the stuff where it belonged. And I echo your thoughts on the plastic flowers and may everyone in my family remember that 'less is more'. Great post!
