My Mothers Day 2016

I'm 39, my Mom is 63, Ellie is 8, Max is 5 and Clair is 3. This morning started out with extra snuggles in bed from Clair - nearly an hours worth. We watched TV, giggles lots, kissed, snuggled, and Clair even told Daddy it was Mommy and Clair special time. It was really sweet and I enjoyed it. Ellie also took my breakfast order and brought me delicious perfectly washed, perfectly cut, strawberries in bed as a lovely snack. David brought us girls our orange juice. 

We had breakfast and then took a look at the new house we are building. It made me a nervous wreck finding the wet house and things off spec, not to mention the graphitti. It was a rough start for me. Luckily David talked to the builder who planned to handle this and more already. 

Before going off for lunch and a movie with my mother, Ellie, Max and Clair took me off on a map les treasure hunt to find presents they made for me. It was very well planned and executed. The gifts were hand made and thoughtful. They are sweet kids and I love them so much!

Time with Mom was nice. We chatted, watches a new another's Day movie, and she helped me get this weeks shopping. It was relaxing. 

The evening entailed a dinner at a local Wallin place, pizza pretzel creations, followed by froyo at Sweat Frog, who happened to be honoring Mother's Day by giving all moms free yogurt. It was really thoughtful and sweet. 

When we got home, another fantastic part of my day was throwing the softball with Ellie. Tonight, she decided she could catch pop flies! And she sure can!!! I love watching her learn and pick up these new skills!

I am thankful for being a mom. Hopefully the kids know this. They are the best part of my life!
