My mother's day

Today was a relaxing mother's day with both kids able to assert their opinions, have fun with their cousins, and say Happy Mothers Day (or nearly). It was a gorgeous sunshiney day. We started with a relaxing morning at home. We then joined the extended family for brunch. We have 15 people about half kids. They all did really well, enjoy their food and each other's company. Mom enjoyed her time too. Max even nearly sat still, or stayed near the table for about 90 minutes. I was really happy with everyone.

After brunch David and I took the kids to try a new park. We hung out for about an hour and then came home for naptime. It was a relaxing afternoon. I cooked a nice dinner with Greek Braised Meatballs that were almost as good as my favorite restaurant.(I am quite proud of these!) We had a lovely evening playing out front. The kids really like to go out and visit our neighbor Larry each evening. They are developing a cute relationship with him. Bathtime and bed went smoothly and I even squeezed in a workout. I wasn't very faithful to my diet, but I will try to get back on track tomorrow. I allowed myself some fun today.
