Mother's Day

Tom and I were on nursery duty this week. We spent the morning entertaining 10 toddlers under 2. We had one escape artist and one sippy cup bandit, but no major meltdowns. VICTORY! Its nice that acting like a goof is considered high entertainment for toddlers because we both do that well. Despite the job well done, I do not have any desire for another. I was a happy camper when 11:15 came. Bella was quite the socialite that day, which was a nice change from the clinger. Lily decided that she'd rather be in her 'big girl class' than play with baby toys with mommy and daddy. They got to plant flowers for their moms and somehow Miss Sonia kept all the kids clean. I shouldn't be surprised with four boys, she has lots of experience.

Lunch was the usual Subway Sunday-no kangaroo sightings today.

The afternoon was spend at our house, moving our furniture back into place. Not a small task but we cranked it out. We were invited to a mother's day brunch with some friends from church and I'm sure it was wonderful, but I'm glad to be sleeping in my own bed.

The girls had lots of fun playing with Timmy and helping Auntie garden. Bella's present for Nana was a duck for her garden and there was a big to do about where he should go. A flat rock in the shade was decided to be the ideal location.

Along with some dumbbells and flowers, I got a beautiful, pink sapphire ring for a gift. It was a combo mother's day and yeah Bella was born gift. When Bella has her first child she will get this ring; I expect to enjoy it for 30 more years. Considering I usually ask for dumbbells or potholders, a beautiful ring was beyond expectation and now I'm a 'beautiful princess' according to Lily.
