Mother's Day

Mother's Day seems like ions ago now - but I can't bring myself to post any end-of-year school stuff until I document all the cute things the boys did for me.

***
It was a special and low-key day.  We started the day at church (here's a quick pic before we left).


After the 9:30 service the boys went home and I stayed to man the nursery for the 11:15am service (murphy's law, I have nursery duty every holiday, every bday of my family, everytime we have visitors in town :).  While I was in the nursery, the boys made me cards.  I loved them all.

Here is Griffin's card, a gift he/his teachers made me for at school, and a picture of us at his Mother's day party at school (thanks for the picture, Anne!)




Here is Noah's card (front/inside), a "recipe" that he told his teachers he likes that I make, a school present from him/his teachers, and a "family portrait" that I couldn't love more.    Noah's class did a little program for the moms too - think I'll save that footage for a school year compilation post/video I do for the kids (maybe in August?  :). 






Here is Miles' card and a gift that he made for me at school.  One of the things that I love the most about the card is how similar the front is to the front of Mike's card (Mike made his first).  Like father, like mini-me.  :) 





We spent the afternoon at playgrounds and this skate park.  Don't ask me why, but I am so intrigued by skate parks.  This particular one is biking everyday except one - and then they allow skateboards.  I'm so into skate boards - though I can't ride them really.  I really hope that one of our boys is an awesome skateboarder (Mike loved to ride when he was little - still does) and hope that same boy wants kinda long hair, too.  :)



That night, we had dinner at Big Daddy's Burger Joint -- one of our favorite family spots.  There was a really long wait (before and after we sat down), so we played corn hole, go fish, crazy 8's, etc..  It was a perfect family night.





So thankful for my boys and my hub -- and extra thankful for my mom, my mother-in-law, and my two amazing grandmothers.  :)
