Mother's Day 2009

Today was a wonderful day!

We went last night to a local pottery painting place where we painted a family fruit bowl which included all of our handprints . The kids had fun painting and I had fun knowing it was a family outing and the result will be a very cool bowl (with exploding paint no less!) on our table filled with fruit and veggies, hopefully fresh from our garden : -) We followed up this fun family time with a dinner to my fav Mexican food place. The dinner was slow coming from the kitchen but didn't disappoint when it landed on our table. Even J enjoyed some refried beans. S declared himself "FULL" and we were ready to go.

This morning Daddy and the kids cleaned the playroom, made our breakfast and did the dishes - I wish everyday were Mother's Day!

The rest of the day went well. I talked with my sis some (she had a coupon emergency : -) ). We talked alot of our upcoming weekend. A getaway with just us!!!!! The only negative to the day was the situation with my mother but that ended okay. I just didn't play into the drama. I had a fun conversation with a good friend, got Daddy some lemons for his ice tea and headed home.

Now I am so thankful for the family I have been given, the home we are filling with love, the yard we are trying to grow a garden in, the friends I have made along the way and the life I live on a daily basis.
