Happy Mother's Day!

Mom

It has been a wonderful Mother's Day for me. On Friday, the girls got home from school with presents they had made at school. Shay made a shrink-dink note for me on my key chain, and Claire made a coupon book with colored puns on the outside. Chris gave me a massage and then made me French toast for breakfast today, and he will be making dinner tonight as well. At church, the primary sang a beautiful song about mothers, and we had a short Relief Society lesson and treat. Adrian also took a nice nap after church so I could nap too! There are hardly words to describe how glad I am to be a mother, and I love the family and life that I have.

Adrian

He spends his days exploring our house and backyard still, taking anything out of cabinets, drawers, and organized bins and spreading them as a tornado of destruction. It has been a long time since I've had to pick up after my girls, and I'm getting used to it again, but there are a few times he likes to give me things, so maybe clean-up time won't be too far away. When the girls are home, he likes to be involved in their games, and sometimes they like him to play, but more and more, they try to do it on their own because he just destroys instead of builds up.

School

As we are counting down the last days of school, the girls are doing tests, having field trips, and getting excited about next year. Claire came home saying she can't wait to be a 3rd grader, and Shay said she can't wait to be a 3rd grader either! Shay has expressed not wanting to leave, and I'm excited for them to bring their new cameras to school and take pictures with their friends. I'm also hoping to make summer educational and fun for them with library trips, camping, splash pad, waterparks, and all the parks around. Spring is always a fun time to look forward to playing outside, and remember to wear sunscreen.
