Mother's Day weekend

We had a great weekend!

Saturday:  We did our usual breakfast, gymnastics, grocery store, lunch, housework, play at home, nap (Lilly) routine.  And then Laurie came over and watched the girls so Phillip and I could go to the movies, a rare treat.  We saw Mud (we liked it).  Afterwards we picked up Arby's and ate a quick dinner in the car (classy!)  It was nice to spend time together away from home, away from the girls and escape the stresses of life for a few hours.  Thanks Laurie!

Phillip unintentionally but audibly passed gas during the climax of the movie - a quiet, reflective scene.  The guy in front of us kind of jumped, the people behind and beside us squirmed uncomfortably in their seats.  And this was just a few minutes after his phone dinged indicating he received a text.  I was so embarrassed!  I would have bailed if he wasn't my ride.  We laughed all the way home.  I can't remember the last time we laughed so hard and we laugh a lot! 



Sunday:  Besides the day starting at 5:50 a.m. (we made breakfast and had time to watch Madagascar 3 before church) and the sweet mother-daughter picture that never came to be, these three goofballs made Mother's Day extra special this year.  Cards, flowers, hugs, handmade gifts, beautiful weather, special treatment, a nap... I got it all.

We also hung a shelf in Lilly's room, FaceTimed with Mom and Dad and played outside.

And I watched 3 episodes of Married to Jonas.

So much can happen in a day, especially on the weekends when we are all home together.  So many memorable moments.  So much fun!  I have to work the next two Saturdays for various reasons (and I worked the last Saturday in April and the first Saturday in May) and that is why it is so hard to be away.  I don't want to miss a thing.
