Mother's Day

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day this year.  I know I did!  We had a busy day, but it was lots of fun.

My Mother's Day started off during the week when both kids brought me home gifts they made at school.  I look forward to these gifts more than anything else.  I love seeing what they make and how proud they are for making it (well Em, anyways).  They both made some good ones this year!

This one was from Evan

This one is from Em.  The pot said "I love you because" and each flower had a reason. 



This flower said because "you help me clean up."

This one said because "you give me hugs."

I told Shawn I didn't need any gifts for Mother's Day and really didn't want to do anything special either.  I was totally fine with just a normal Sunday hanging out with my family.  Of course he didn't listen.  Saturday him and Em went grocery shopping and when they walked in they had tulips and a huge balloon for me.  Em told me the balloon was for her and I and we had to share it.  I figured that was ok since she basically acts like a second mom to Evan.  :)

We had a wedding to go to on Saturday and I was so tired Sunday morning.  I was the last one to wake up.  Upon going downstairs, I saw a HUGE spread of food complete with stuff for bloody mary's and mimosa's.  It was enough to feed at least 15 people. I'm talking french toast, muffins, 3 quiches, 2 loaves of sausage bread and fruit salad.   I couldn't believe Shawn had made so much food.  I guess he thought I would be really hungry??  Either way I fully enjoyed it!  I was also surprised when I got a new raincoat from the kids.   It's something I've been wanting.

Oh and I'm totally joking about all that food being for me.  Although Shawn likes to tell me that he would have done all of this just for me, it was also to feed 15 members of his family.  Haha.  The wedding we went to on Saturday night was for his cousin.  Most of his family stayed in a hotel in McKinney overnight and so we had everyone stop by for brunch on their way out of town.  :) 

After everyone left we took a family nap.  All 4 of us were exhausted.  I'm pretty sure I could have slept the rest of the day.  Unfortunately the kids didn't feel the same way.  Once we woke up and played for a bit, we were off to my brother's house for a quick visit and some takeout.  My day ended around 8:30.  I put Em to bed and I went straight to bed too.  I was soo tired after a really busy weekend!
