I had a great Mother's day with my kiddos. It was our weekend to have Anna and her mom had to work, so I got to spend the day with her. Josh got up with them in the morning so I could sleep in a little bit. He had them make cards and they got me breakfast from the gas station. I woke up to all 6 kids running into my room, screaming "Happy Mother's Day!" Anna gave me a little flower pot with some flowers, Dominic had made a picture frame at school with a picture of him in it, and then Selena handed me a bag. I opened it to find about 15 pine cones inside. She was SO happy and excited to give them to me. It was probably one of the best presents I have ever gotten!
A little later that morning we headed over to my mom's house. We took the kids out back by her swing set and they had a blast. My mom lives on a hill, and Anna kept riding her big wheel down the hill. We found a baby toad which the kids thought was hysterical. Becca was only brave enough to hold it for a few seconds, but Isaac and Canaan loved the poor little thing. They kept picking it up and playing with it.
After playing outside for a while we went inside and ate lunch. My dad had grilled chicken and hamburgers. He had also got cupcakes at the store which of course the kids made a huge mess out of. We went back outside after lunch. My mom and I took the three girls and Canaan on a walk around her neighborhood. It was nice to get to spend that time with her. After we came home I made the kids chocolate chip pancakes for dinner. Then I had to go meet my mother-in-law so she could get Anna. The drive home was about 25 minutes and it was nice to have that time to myself. By the time I got home Josh had all the kids ready for bed. After I put them all to bed, we watched a movie and had a nice, quiet night. I couldn't have asked for a better day and we all had a lot of fun.
Tomorrow I will be posting all about Becca!
