Mother's Day





The kids were very excited about Mother's Day this year.
Since we arrived back from Florida they wanted to give me my present, but I kept refusing.
This morning I woke up hearing Nick calling "Dad! Dad!"
I got up to see, but he wanted to know where my present was.

Soon both kids were up and waiting for me!
Nick was awake first, so he gave me my present first. He was so happy!
A hand print frame and handmade card.


Katheyn had a bunch of stuff for me
She made a book all about me


And she made a pin for me to wear as well
She was so proud of the pin!


It's a great Mother's Day! It is to celebrate our mothers, but as a mother it celebrates my kids and how much I love them!

Mothers Day

Now that Katheryn is in school, Mother's Day has become more of a big deal - to her.
I got an invitation to a Mothers Day Tea at the school.
And Katheryn was counting down the days to mothers day.

 
The kids put on a show with a couple of songs and a slide show.
After the show the kids went around to find their mothers.
Poor Katheryn looked so lost until she found me!


Around the whole gym they had pictures that the kids had drawn of their mothers and we had to go around and try to guess which one was us.


Katheryn was so excited to show me her picture!


And we went to her class for her to show me around a little bit as well.
I had the opportunity to talk to her teacher for a bit (Katheryn is doing great of course).


We had a laid back weekend.
Our plans were cancelled because my family was sick, and so we just went with it.
I got to open my present from Katheryn,

 
And Kyle put up my other present (now if only that comes with watering through the summer).
 
 
I didn't get any pictures with the 3 of us. So a little photo-shopping and I had a cute pic!
 
 
Of course mothers day can't pass without me thinking about what being a mother means to me.
From when I made my mother a mother, and Katheryn made me a mother and everything since then.
 
 
Being a mother means that I am much more than one person, that I think of 2 little munchkins as soon as I wake up and before I fall asleep. That there is a whole world that I never knew existed until just over 5 years ago. Like seeing something in HD and now realizing that the world is brighter and sharper than you ever realized.
My favorite thing in the world?
Having little arms wrap around me and hear "Mommy, I love you."

Happy Mothers Day to me!

The silliness of parenthood!

I love my kids, that really goes without saying. I love them every moment of every day.
But I also love being their mother.

I love the silliness of it


Like dancing in the aisle of super market because a fun song come on


Wearing the kids fun hats


Belting out theme songs, just because


(or in the case of my father - IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY!! At 7am, every.. single.. day - it was an improvement on GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!)


I love the silliness of dancing however my body feels like moving at the moment
You know that saying Dance like no one is watching - my new saying is  dance like your kids are watching
Or even better - dance like you dancing with your kids!


I love the silliness of getting on the floor for some crawling contests


My kids think I am the most talented artist ever!
Be jealous of my stick figures! And I can (mostly) stay inside the lines


 Needless to say I have the best decorated car on the block!
I never wanted a black car - but it makes the best canvas!



So today I am succumbing to the silliness of motherhood!
It's a good day.

Listen to your mother!


I didn't know who Wilma Rudolph was, so I looked her up here!
