Mother's Day

So my day started out with

breakfast in bed. . .

(Kale insisted he take my picture)

And my 3 favorite things

from my 3 favorite kids!

And my husband surprised me with

A LILAC BUSH!

I have wanted one since we moved into this house

and I finally got it.

It's planted right outside our dining room window.

I can't wait to watch it grow and blossom!

And who wouldn't want this for dinner?

Yum. Yum.

So I had a wonderful Mother's Day.

I will admit there have been some Mother's Days where I have wanted "a break" from my mom duties. I always have thought it a bit ironic that the day motherhood is celebrated we as mothers want nothing to do with being a mom.

But this Mother's Day was different for me.

I wanted to be surrounded by my kids.

We read books today.

We played a game today.

We took a family walk today.

We wrestled, and played and laughed today.

Today was a good day.

While I was in Utah last week I got to go see my mother.

It had been a long time since I was there last and I was surprised at the comfort I felt just being there.

Happy Mother's Day!
