HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

I have had the BEST mothers day weekend, so I figured I'd blog. :) It began on Friday when my Mother's Day gift came in the mail. I have wanted my own little light laptop for quite a while so I can take it to school & to my classes, etc. And my sweet hubby agreed with me that it would make a great mothers day/birthday gift. My birthday is in the middle of our little family's month of birthdays (5 between Aug 16 & Oct 29). During mine we're in the middle of the kids & parties & usually running low on the moolah. So, my big idea is to get a good mother's day gift and let the birthday sorta slide, you know, spread the wealth. So, I got a netbook (a baby notebook) and it's so cute & so light & so much fun! It's an ACER Aspire one - blue (Kylie is jealous). So we played with that on Friday.

Saturday was a fun, fun day! Our school had a carnival which was a lot of fun. Perfect weather. We saw lots of friends & a couple of cousins. We played and had fun and then went to the movies to see XMen: Wolverine. We had so much fun - it was so good! Then we went to Cafe Rio - YUMMY!

Sunday I woke up and showered and when I got out, I was taken downstairs to a yummy breakfast & decorated table. TJay had woken up (huge) and gotten all the kids up (even Kylie). TJay helped them all get ready for church & I had a fabulous day at church learning about Lucy Mack Smith. Alyssa fixed dinner and we ate, then I announced it was time for my nap & I went and napped for 3 lovely hours! :) Then I hung out with mykiddos (the greatest people in the world!) and we went for a lovely evening walk. Now I'm just hanging out with the family until bedtime (which is really soon).

More good news: only 3 weeks of school left!

Wishing all the moms out there a fabulous day today and every day!!

Treyson made this most excellent notebook cover and flower pen for me for mothers day. (The tiger face is from the carnival).
