mother's day

You'd think since it took me two weeks to write this post it was due to the fact of intricate details and documentation but really, it was a simple affair around our part of the world! The afternoon before we set the girls up with some paint and they got working on gifts for all their grandmothers (granny, gram gram, and gramma). Phew! It surely would have been enjoyable had I gotten the supplies sooner! And shortly after I headed into work for an overtime shift so I'm sure Brendon was pleased to deal with the chaos all on his own.

I got to sleep in until just after 9am but managed to not get out of bed until 10 which I look as a complete success. Kennedy was entirely too excited to give me my trinkets. She made me a lovely necklace which was accompanied with a little list about WHY I'M SO AWESOME along with two hand painted pots for my two little cactus's at work and a new romper from my husband that I have yet to try on. I'm horrible.

My mom's name is Leia.
I love my mom because she is sweet.
My and I like to eat ice cream (pictured 😂).
My mom's favorite thing to do is sleep in. Literally.
My mom is special because she loves me 😭😍.

Brendon made a nice breakfast and we bummed around until my mom and sisters arrived. We made a delicious lunch of buffalo chicken pasta with corn bread (I still didn't sit down to eat until after Piper had finished and made a complete mess of the table) and sat around sipping some Strongbow and played catch in the front yard. It was a nice and relaxing afternoon.

And then we have Piper who decided to have a meltdown when I told her we needed to get her shoes on before we could take the dog for a walk. Which then reminded me why Mother's and Father's Day has the connotation of vacation for either party being celebrated.

But hey, it's the reason for my day and we mother's know how to roll with the punches.



Now to prepare for Father's Day!
