Sunday

Yesterday we hung out here just taking it easy. The pictures above are Andrew & Shain reading Flat Stanley outside under our dogwood trees. Can you see my trapeeze artist girls performing on the tree swings across the street from our house?

Housework

We're still working hard here!

We found an awesome handyman who built us a beautiful ramp off of the deck to the pool with a gate too! We had ordered our bedroom carpet and stair carpet runner over a month ago - everything was installed on Thursday. Ahhhh..finally carpet in our room. Nice!

Oh, yes and Dave worked on the laundry room bathroom painting and hanging a new mirror and new fixtures are mounted. The pictures documenting the before and afters are above.

Thirteen years ago on this day, Dave and I were married.
Thirteen years.....pheeew!!!! :)

Mother's Day

Yesterday the girls were telling me they would be waking up in the "3's" (3:00am) to put together a surprise for me this Mother's Day morning. I told them it would be better to get up in the "6's", because I would wake up in the "7's". They talked all day yesterday about what they would be doing - whispering to each other and telling Dave. Well, this morning in the "6's" I heard what I thought were door knocks. Dave went to check that out. The girls were safely in the family room - just sitting there. Dave asked them what they were doing. They said they didn't know what to do!! Dave took all three girls to Dunkin Donuts to pick me up breakfast. Drew and I got a few extra zzzz's in the unusually quiet house. I was surprised to breakfast in bed and a homemade pin and card from Amelia, already had received my card from Ava on Friday, and lots of kisses and hugs from my babies.

We had a wonderful day of just hanging out here and working outside.

Happy Mother's Day to our great moms too!
