Where have all the flowers gone

I am afraid I just made a huge mistake! Our grass has been getting thin the last few years and that makes the yard pretty muddy at times.  With so many children to entertain I am desperate to get outside at times so we made the call to the lawn professionals and they came out yesterday to spray for the weeds and the papers they left said that the weeds would begin to die in around 10 days.  I read it through and thought nothing of it and then last night while lying in bed it hit me.....the dandelions WHAT DID I DO!

I am just waiting for my sweet little girl to come to me in the next few days and ask me where all the flowers in the yard have gone.  Just 2 days ago Carrot and her friend filled a basket with dandelions and just a few days prior she and some neighborhood kids came running up to our yard to gather flowers and I said I thought they were playing down the street and the little girl said but your yard has dandelions and ours doesn't :) 

I remember playing for hours with dandelions ...making necklaces, blowing them into the air when they seed, using them for my "soup" ....ahhhhh I just took away part of her childhood.
