I hope you all had a marvelous Mother's day weekend!
I started my mother's day celebrations by having Muffins with Mom with Gretchen at her school on Friday morning. I am so thankful that my principals let me have the first hour of the day to spend with Gretchen and I can't wait until she's at school with me next year in order to make these events a little easier on my schedule!
It was fun to take her to school, see her classroom and spend some time with her. She served me a muffin and juice. She also brought herself a muffin….. as she was getting everything for me, one of the muffins fell on the floor and she politely told everyone that she would just eat that one.
Her teacher had the tables decorated and our gifts were set out. Gretchen colored a flower pot, and attached was a little flower magnetic clip with Gretchen's picture, a handmade card, and a handprint flower pot picture with a little fill in questionnaire on the back.
Her class also sang the moms a song.

Friday evening we made homemade enchiladas and cheese dip and Megan enjoyed strawberries!!
After dinner we found that she had gotten herself a bowl, filled it up with strawberries, and we found her hiding eating them!
The girls played outside with our neighbors and I was able to get some embroidery work done after they went to bed!
Saturday morning, DJ and I cleaned the house, he mowed the grass, and Megan played "mommy".
She held her baby all morning!
DJ's dad and step mom came in town Saturday afternoon and we spent the afternoon playing outside and grilling.
Meggie struck this pose all on her own!

And, we let Adalyn eat her dinner outside so I wouldn't have a mess to clean up inside!

DJ and my big girls woke me up around 8:00 on Mother's day morning with breakfast in bed!
Afterwards, I was able to open my gifts from Megan and Adalyn.
Megan made me a homemade card.
I love reading all the things that she loves about me! It's the little things that you don't think matter, but that are so important to her!
Adalyn's teachers made this canvas for me!
They've made three canvas paintings this year from Adalyn and I love them all so much!
We went to church, and I did get a picture of me and the girls on the good camera, and today, you're getting iPhone pics, so i'll post a real picture later!
After church we went to Charleston's to eat!
We came home and Adalyn took a nap and I told DJ I was going to do the same thing!
I haven't had a nap in forever, and it was so nice!
I took the girls to play outside in the sprinklers for a bit and did some reading, then we came in and watched t.v., cleaned house, and we fixed the girls dinner!
I had the best weekend! It was full of everything that I wanted to do and my hubby was so helpful this weekend and the girls were pretty well behaved! Gretchen even cleaned her own room Sunday evening (I only had to ask a dozen times over the weekend!)
Happy (belated) Mother's day and Happy Monday!
