Mother’s Day

May 13, 2014

Well, let’s just say it’s good to be Momma around here!  🙂  Susan and the boys declared it not just “mother’s day” but “mother’s weekend” so I had goodies lined up from Friday to Sunday!

The fun started on Friday with a GIANT orange (of course) box full of balloons!  Fun for all!

I also got a fantastic orange card from my favorite 3 year old.

On Saturday, I got to open all of Maxwell treats he made at school.  I got a beautiful footprint flower…

and a thumb print card and potted flower with the pot hand-painted by Mr. Maxwell, himself.

Awesome.  He also made this mini Maxwell complete with firetruck shirt and brown eyes.

Adorable.  I then got to open my second present from Susan and the boys.  The box was pretty impressive…

and inside was a new kitchen scrub brush.  Ha!  Well, I did need one!  🙂

Maxwell had fun scrubbing his brother…

On Sunday, I got my final presents.  First was a handprint tray from Susan and the boys.

It matches the frame she had made with Maxwell’s handprints 2 years ago.  Perfect!

Second, Susan, along with Barry, also fixed my broken Rooster!!  hooray!!

I am SO pleased to have my rooster back in one piece in the kitchen where he belongs!  yay!

Finally, Robert and the boys got me a big Le Creuset pot to do all kinds of cooking in…

Whoa! I must have been good this year! I love the gray color and am so excited to have it!

A BIG thank you to Susan, the boys and Robert for making me feel SO special.  But, as much fun as the presents are, the best part of Mother’s Weekend was just getting to love on these two sweet, sweet boys.

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a tiny sombrero (thanks Susan!)…
