Mommy & Me Monday – Mother’s Day Edition

May 10, 2010 by Elaine

I was served breakfast in bed (yummy French toast, bacon and scrambled eggs with a glass of o.j.) and stayed there until 9:30, snuggling my baby girl.

The boys were pretty good in church and after, we came home for lunch, and Tim made me a yummy grilled ham and swiss.

The boys helped me water my flowers outside, including the new container pot they bought me for my Mother’s Day gift (pictured below).

In the afternoon I went shopping (ALONE!) for a couple of hours.

We went out for a delicious early dinner and the kids behaved and then we had a scoop of ice cream for dessert.

All in all it was a good day. A really good one actually.

With my pretty awesome children.

(and one very fabulous husband too…)

My first Mother’s Day with Baby K!

Also, it was this weekend a year ago that we first visited Louisiana to see the town and get a feel for our new home. Crazy huh?

    Your Mother’s Day sounds idyllic! We went out for brunch (I don’t think I’ve ever been served breakfast in bed, but we all know Tim is not the typical husband!), though, which was nice…

    Happy Belated Mother’s Day, you cute thing! Wonderful photos, too!
