a happy Mother's Day

Mothers Day began on Saturday for me.  I was in a charity walk on Saturday morning, and when I came home my husband and girls had cleaned the house!  What a great surprise!  Then they surprised me, right when I was getting ready to start making dinner on Saturday, by telling me that they were taking me out to dinner!  Yay!  And since it was Saturday and not Sunday, we didn't have to wait (I've had bad experiences waiting on Mother's Day and not getting a meal because it took too long and we had to leave!)  after a great dinner we went to a park and walked on the trails and the girls played a little.  It was a nice evening.  

Mother's Day began with cards and breakfast in bed (with about an inch of jelly on my toast, which I had to scrape off!).  They were so excited to give it to me.  

Sunday afternoon my parents came so I could be with my mom on Mother's Day and my girls could wish her a happy Mother's Day, too.

After showing off for Grandma and Grandpa, the girls stayed home with Daddy while my parents and I went up to my brothers house so he could wish her a happy Mother's Day, too.  He and I took them out to dinner.  It was nice, without lots of kids vying for our attention.  

This morning my mom took me to buy flowers for my planters, for my Mother's Day present.  Can't wait to plant them!

So it was a happy day (or, couple of days, I guess, is more accurate!)
