Mother's Day

For Mother's Day this year all I wanted was to have a day off to run errands sans children, take a nap, and to recoup.   AH and I have had a very busy month/year and I can't seem to feel caught up with all the to-do's on my list.   AH gave me this gift the day before Mother's Day - a Saturday to do what I wanted.  I ran my errands, slept from 4-6pm, and felt refreshed all evening.  It was perfection. 

On Mother's Day I enjoyed wonderful messages at church that uplifted me and inspired me.  That afternoon we enjoyed a quick family lunch, some relaxing around the house, and then I demanded that we do a family walk to park nearby.  At the park we had a great time playing tag and even recruited some other kids to join in.  A leisurely walk home, quick dinner, and I was one happy momma.  It was a weekend I absolutely needed - some down time and family time.

Rest stop.

Beeb.  I'm glad I took this since she chopped her hair off this week.

Mr. B - his braces make his mouth appear swollen/fuller, but he is still one good looking boy!

Our buddy Mr. L, who joined in our game of tag.

And Mr. D, who managed to stay safe for most of the game.

 

You never get to old for this.

Walking home.
