HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

I had a GREAT Mother's Day!!! We celebrate all week for any holidays that have to do with "ME"!!! - I know it's bad, but it not very often us Mommy's get our turn in the spotlight!! :)

So... at the beginning of the week the daycare kids and I all started to learn a new song...


I LOVE MOMMY
Sing to the tune of "Frere Jacques"


I Love Mommy, I Love Mommy, Yes, I do, yes, I do.
Mommies are for hugging, (Hug self)
Mommies are for kissing, (Blow a kiss)
I love you, yes I do. (point to Mommy)


Isn't that adorable??? So then we made cookies for the Mommy's (which I forgot to take a picture of (darn it - they were cute... and YUMMY). And we also made crafts for the Mommy's...
























Pretty simple... but the kids LOVED it!!! They are paper flowers (colored by the kids - except the few I did for Owen :) - he gets bored easily!) glued to popsicle sticks and then a picture of the kids glued in the center. Each Mommy got a bouquet!!! :) The ones above are the ones for me. :)

Then All-weekend we got to do what I wanted... which was work on my living room/kitchen and get it all re-decorated and painted... and we got it all done!!! The side walls are a khaki/wheat color and the fireplace wall is burnt orange and the kitchen backsplash is chocolate brown! I am so happy with how it all turned out!!! :) Here are a few pictures...






















And finally... the actual day!!! - We went to church in the morning and then out to lunch! Parker got to choose where we got to eat... he likes to pick!! :) He chose Red Robin!!! :) hehe! It was fun though... we saw my old boss there with her family too, so was fun to catch up with her!! The food was good and the service was great... so I can't complain! :)


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the Moms!!!
