Spring Break...

I know it's been a month at least since spring break, but I had to put this picture up.  This is what happens with 5 moms chatting too much and enjoying each other's company once in a blue moon forget to watch children playing outside! I forget who discovered the graffiti first, but I actually thought it was kind of funny.  I just told the mom's of the culprits that at least it wasn't a cuss word.  We've yet to figure out how to get it OFF the fence... ;) I do have to add that the 3 little stinkers wrote apology letters and brought over goodies to say they were sorry. ;) AND, as my hubby pointed out, it was partially my fault for leaving out the spray paint on accident!

Happy Mother's Day!

Well it has been a wonderful Mother's Day week-end! Friday Emma's kindergarten class had a Mother's Day tea.  The kids memorized some poems and sang for us and then handed out homemade broaches and booklets about what they liked to do with us.  My favorite though was a picture of a flower Emma made with her handprint.  The quote brought tears to my eyes! 

Sometimes you get discouraged

Because I'm so small,

And always leave my fingerprints

On furniture and wall.

But every day I'm growing up

And soon will be so tall,

That all those little handprints

Will be hard to recall.

So here's a final handprint,

Just so you can see

Exactly how my fingers looked

This year on Mother's Day!

Sunday I woke up late to heart shaped pancakes and flowers.  (for my gift I get to buy a Cricut, something I've been wanting for a long time!) Got to speak at church...:{ hmmm...guess at least I won't have to speak for a couple of years, right? Heard Emma sing with the Primary (Claire fell asleep on Dave).  Came home and had a lovely nap, finishing the day by chatting on Skype with my sister Jamie in Chicago and darling neice and eating a yummy bbq dinner at my parent's house.  For dessert I bought these sorbets from Costco, oh my yum.  They are in orange, lemon, coconut and pineapple halves.  My favorite's the pineapple! If you've ever been to Disneyland and eaten a pineapple Dole Whip outside the Tiki Room, it tastes EXACTLY like that! Fabulouso! Heaven in a cup I tell you! When we go in June I'm eating one every day I'm there.  If you are wondering why I keep going on about the Dole whips, well, you haven't had one! :) It was a really wonderful Mother's Day!

The greatest joys in my life! Are they scrumptious or what? :)
