Mothers Day

For mothers Day our kids traced their hands and then painted them as to look like flowers. Then, we made up cute poems to say on each of their pictures. We also made cookies and put them in strawberry containers with a bow. Our moms loved them. (Their Grandmas') For our Grandmas we just sent them nice cards.
I bought me an i pod shuffle from my kids. I figured I deserved it for being such a great mom all these years. Ha Ha. I have gotten over the Hoping Wes and the kids will surprise me every occasion stage. I just make sure to remind them and if there's something I've got my eye on, I let them know.
I've started a little walking/running routine and I love having music to listen to.
Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers out there! It's tough work, but so worth it. Don't ya think?
Lilly was sleeping when I took these pictures. We did her little craft later. I just put that picture of her and the cat so I wouldn't leave her out of the mix.

I got my Carpet!

I've had my eye on this certain carpet for months now. It fits just right in my preschool room. I just got it today and I love it. It brightens the room up so much and makes everything seem more like a preschool room. I am getting more and more prepared as fall nears. :)

Monthly Shopping

Last night we did our monthly grocery shopping. My back killed when we got home. It hurt so bad I felt like I was going to throw up. It's tough with 3 kids. But, Wes was a great help. We did comparison shopping and the lady that checked us out must have been new. She took forever.
I love to have a whole bunch of groceries. I get excited when I think of what I want to eat. I tried to get a few things that I don't usually get. I got mangoes (they were on sale), coconut milk, hot sauce, and Nutella. I love Nutella! It is hazelnut spread. I have had it a few times in my life, but I just decided to get it again last night. It tickles my taste buds. :)

Spring Soccer

My friend Kate blogged about her son being in Soccer. So, that encouraged me to write a little tidbit about Byrons soccer.
He is pretty good, he could be a little bit more aggressive that's for sure. But, the kids on his team are really good, so through their example he is pushing himself to try harder. He is on a team with 1st graders and Kindergartners.
I played soccer off and on growing up and so I think soccer will be one of those sports we will encourage our kids to at least try. I love it. It sure is a lot of running. We need to get Byron running laps for practice.:)

What would we do without 'em?

Our kids have been so spoiled lately! They have spent a lot of time with their cousins. It has been so fun. It was so nice to visit with my sisters too. We miss them already.
