I LOVE being a mom! It is a lot of work but it is so rewarding! There is nothing better than waking up to these cute little faces every day. I absolutely adore my kids and feel so lucky to have them and to be their mom. They are our world!
I had such a great Mother's Day! Don made a yummy breakfast and the kids gave me the cutest little cards and gifts.
Easton gave me a cute little tissue paper flower that he had made in preschool with his picture on it and pictures of "Scooby Doo" and a dinosaur that he had colored and cut out. He is totally into Scooby Doo, Dinosaurs, Star Wars and Transformers right now. He is all boy!
Elle gave me a really cute card she made and a "cookbook" that her 1st grade class put together. It was such a fun idea. All the kids thought of a recipe that they love that their mom makes and wrote down what they thought the recipe is, along with a little message of why they love their mom. It was so funny to read what all the kids wrote. Kids are so funny! Their messages were very sweet too.
(Elle's favorite dinner is orange chicken, but the real recipe is a little different.)
(I love what Elle wrote. My little Elle loves her crafts and I love helping her with them. I think it is funny too that I "get" to help pick up toys.)

So, I probably shouldn't admit this, but it is pretty funny. Let's just say Don says that I am "time challenged." Being early or even on time is probably not my strong suit. That being said, we always get to church a couple of minutes late. No matter how hard I try to have the kids ready way ahead of church, someone is always missing a shoe or has food all over their face by the time we need to go. It stresses Don out to be late and I feel bad. So, on Father's Day last year, I told Don that I wanted to make him breakfast. He said that all he really wanted was to be on time to church and not to worry about breakfast. And guess what? We were on time. ( I guess that proves we can do it.) So this year, for Mother's Day, Don said that he wasn't going to stress or worry if we were late. He didn't even bat an eye when I wanted pictures of the kids before church and yes, we were a few minutes late. :) But Don just laughed and said, "I'm not worried. It's your day." It's kind of our little joke now.
Easton was so cute holding his little stuffed dog singing, "How much is that Doggy in the window?"
The finale was "This Little Light of Mine" and it was obvious that it was most of the kids' favorite song. Easton and his friend were pretty much yelling it while holding their little lights! I love this age.

Because Easton's birthday is in the summer, he got to celebrate his Un-birthday before the school year ended and it just happened to be "Silly Day" the same day.
Happy Un-birthday Easton!
Dressed up for "Silly Day" with crazy hair, backwards shirt, and mismatched shoes. Easton colored such a great picture of Bert from "Sesame Street" in school.
