Mother's Day Weekend

What a wonderful weekend! We couldn't have asked for a better day on Saturday. Brian and the girls were literally outside ALL day!!! It started with juggling Kate's soccer game and Annie's first soccer practice. Kate got to play against her neighborhood friends which was fun. Unfortunately, the Rock Stars lost again which did not please Kate. She definitely has her mom's competitiveness in her :) Annie's first practice started out a little rocky with some shyness and tears but that only lasted about 2 minutes and then she was off. For her first time in an organized sport she did a good job. Definitely not as much of a hustler as Kate but still managed to play for almost the entire hour. I spent the afternoon cleaning out the girls' closet which was not fun but felt good to get done. Brian worked on the yard all day and it looks much better. James even got to enjoy some time outside!

Today was Mother's Day. I enjoyed it by sleeping in and waking up to Brueggers Bagels in bed! Unfortunately for most of the day I suffered from a migraine so I ended up lying in bed off and on until 3. Then we decided to head out and do some shopping and grab dinner. Little did we know how busy restaurants would be so we ended up at a staple...Chipotle! I am so blessed to have three wonderful, silly, happy and healthy kids as well as an amazing and supportive husband. I am thankful for this every day. I am also blessed with a loving mother who is always there for me when I need her and ready to help (which is often!), a kind step-mother who treats me and my kids like her own, and a mother-in-law who although is far away in miles is always close in our hearts. I can't forget to give a shout-out to my crazy Grammy Myrt who in her 90's still has the wit of a teenager! And last but not least, Happy Mother's Day to all my dear friends! I hope you had as wonderful of a day/weekend as I did.
