Spring and Mother's Day





Yea!!! Spring finally feels like it is here. Its starting to warm up and our front yard is all in bloom. Its fun to see things growing. It makes all of the effort I've put in seem worth it. I even convinced my husband to finish a sprinkling system for all of my flower beds. The landscape architect who designed our yard got a little crazy with the size and number of beds around our house. He knew that he didn't have to plant and care for all of the stuff in them. (The people who built our house hired him, not me.)

We are getting excited about the fact that Summer break is only weeks away! We started to plan our adventures already, can't wait!!

Mother's Day was nice and relaxing this year. I got lots of homemade cards and gifts from my family. Then my good husband made me a yummy dinner-- barbecued chicken, salad, watermelon and so on. Then he and the kids did the dishes for me, too! Its odd sometimes to think that I am old enough to be the "mom" now. It doesn't seem very long ago when I was making the Mother's Day cards with crayons and glue.

I am so lucky to have these fun, crazy, beautiful kids (and hubby) in my life!
