Happy Mother’s Day – 1 day late! I had a very nice, full Mother’s Day weekend. Saturday morning we were up bright and early to go to breakfast with my DD #1, her husband, DD #2, and DH at Copper Penny in West Bend. Afterward, just us girls wandered around one of the local thrift stores and found some interesting and questionable items. That’s why we go! Next stop was Hobby Lobby for craft supplies.
In the afternoon, I took DD #2 to help with her school’s plant sale fundraiser. It was a beautiful day, yet DD had a pretty bad attitude and wasn’t cooperating very well. We sorted out all of the plants, then I took her home. I came back to help with plant pick up. We ended the day with DH seasoning our new grill and making smash burgers. I also had a pretty nice sunburn on my neck and shoulders. 🙁
Sunday morning we headed off to church, Bible Study, and Sunday School. It was the last day of Sunday School and the kids sang in the late service. After church we headed to my mother-in-laws house to have lunch with her, our cousin, and her kids. We ate, drank some nice wine, played games, and talked. It was great! We came home, DD made steaks and mushrooms on the new grill, and I went and practiced pitching for our coed softball game this Tuesday at the ball diamond near our house.
I love ALL of the gifts and everything my family did for Mother’s Day this year! Not pictured is a green beaded bracelet DD #2 gave me in the card she made at school. She has really gotten into working with pony beads lately and made me one in my favorite color. I also LOVE the flower cards they made for “Mum’s Day”. I think we will make a few of those together in summer!
I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day this year! May is looking to be a beautiful month. I know many farmers in the area planned on planting during Mother’s Day and celebrated with a nice lunch during a break. Many people are outside working in their yards and gardens, and our garden is rototilled and waiting to be planted. I pray it’s a wonderful growing year!
Have a Fantastic Monday!
