My Mother’s Day Recap

Mother's Day kiddo picture (1)

It’s fun to read about everyone’s ideal Mother’s Day and what made the day special.  Mine was actually quite delightful too–although less traditional… but if you know me at all, I guess it makes sense.

But first I have to share this gem that Chloe brought home from preschool for me–it makes me laugh.

Mothers day note

Tim had to head to church extra early (since they couldn’t rehearse for worship team on Saturday this week) so the kids and I were up and moving very early.  This was also due to the fact that we let Josiah sleep in Chloe’s room (on his bed, of course) because we decided to work on painting his room over the weekend.  So… they both woke up early and were talking and playing together… 🙂

So I set up the kids with a “picnic breakfast” and got to work putting another coat of paint on in his room before getting ourselves to the first service.

After church we had Chipotle outside on our deck for lunch (my request) and then the kids went down for naps.  Then I went to a local church to see a production of “The Sound of Music” that I had a few students performing in.  It was excellent.  Then after I got back we worked on finishing Josiah’s room and the kids watched Cars 2 (and I watched for a while too… hehe!).  Tim was wonderful and even did a couple loads of laundry.

I guess it just goes to show that I love a good productive day, eh?

Oh, and be sure to tune back in for the exciting transformation of Josiah’s room!

    So you are 62? Such a precious keepsake that will be. I can just imagine the face on the person who was transcribing her answers for her, particularly if she has even met you! And I think you are as pretty as a butterfly, too.
    Glad you had a productive Mother’s Day.

    If you are 62 I can’t imagine how old she thinks her grandparents are?!?! Interesting how some moms wanted a restful Mother’s Day and others used it to be productive. Glad you are pleased with your day!
