Mother's Day Weekend

And what a fantastic one it was.  We kicked off Mother's Day with the girls Mother's Day brunch at school on Wednesday.  Vivian's last preschool brunch...cue the tears.  Bother girls gave me a flower pot they decorated with seeds to plant, a placemat with their picture and drawing and Vivian's teacher had her give a description of her mommy along with other things.  Classic!  So sweet their school honors all the mommy's!

^^ We love Mrs. Martha (Jo's teacher)!

^^Never seen me dress for a wedding and if only the 'makes me clean' when I do something I shouldn't was true.  I think she gave me a good idea HA!  I just love this!

On Friday, BK had crawfish delivered from Louisiana Crawfish CO.  So good!  Vivian enjoyed them herself.  JoJo said 'no thank you' and had pancakes instead.  She held one (not alive), then got scared of them screaming 'monster' LOL  She's such a little stinker!  

Saturday morning we had breakfast at Cracker Barrel then went to Poplar Grove's BBQ festival.  Last year it was fantastic.  Tons of bounce houses, slides and kids water activities.  This year was kinda a dud.  They had their one bounce house and no water stuff for the kids.  We still had a good time, but we were slightly disappointed.  We came home and the girls played in the sprinkler and did some swinging.

^^  My sweet silly girl

^^ I could just EAT HER UP!!!

 Sunday, Mother's Day, we went to church and watched our sweet Vivian sing in choir.  I can't help but giggle watching her because her facial expressions are the cutest.  I love watching her perform and cannot wait until Joanna is old enough for children's choir.  I'm sure Jo will be a total ham!  

The girls and BK gave me the sweetest cards and Vivian drew me a picture.  Sweet girl I tell ya!  My gift is a much needed haircut.  I don't even want to say how long it has been since I've been to a hair salon.  For dinner BK grilled steaks and I devoured mine.  So good!  

I am so thankful for my girls who give me the greatest honor being their mommy.  I'm not sure why God blessed us with them, but I am grateful every single day.  I love you girls more than you will ever ever know!!  XXOO...muah!

 

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a good one this year.  Not that it hasn't been every year since becoming a Mom, but with the kids getting older, especially Vivian, it was extra special and felt so much love.

We skipped church this morning and went to my favorite place, Airlie Gardens.  Before heading that way, we stopped by Starbucks for a coffee for me, BK doesn't drink coffee, and cake pops for the girls.  We arrived just a little after 9am and stayed a couple of hours before heading home.  The girls love smelling the flowers, picking rocks, looking at the water.  I honestly could stay all day.  So much fun!  

We came home, had lunch, put Joanna down for her nap.  I did get a workout in then Vivian and I did water balloons.  Her favorite thing to do in the summer, yet my least favorite because of filling them and picking up all the pieces so Joanna doesn't eat them.  That kid puts anything that isn't food in her mouth.  She's a wild one I tell ya!

For dinner I got BK a pork chop and me a chicken kabob from Fresh Market.  Easy and simple.  The kids are more snackers right now, so they ate from the pantry.  

For my Mother's Day gift, I got a gift certificate to Coastal Massage for a 75 minute of absolute heaven.  By far the best massage I have ever had!!  Hot stones, hot oil, aroma therapy, amazing/relaxing music.  I could have stayed there happily all day long.  Of course, they gave me sweet cards.  Vivian's card has her 'special' writing which is scribble, but she knows what she wrote.  Such a sweet heart.  

Looking forward to many more Mother's Day with my girls!!  Love them so much even though they drove me bananas all day long.  

^^At the end of this path, there were four foxes sunning in the field.  JoJo thought they were dogs and wanted to chase after them LOL
