mothers day festivities

After working and running around like a crazy person on Saturday (shooting 3 communions…coming soon) I had a great, relaxing, nice day yesterday for Mothers Day.

Actually, it all started on Friday in Patrick’s class. His teacher puts on a Mothers Day Tea every year and it just gets better and better. (Patrick had her for Kindergarten too). Each child made their mother some notecards as a gift, and presented the moms with an autobiography and a little speech. Not a dry eye in the house. Not one.

Sunday, John let me sleep in for a bit and then we ALL headed over to Hempstead for brunch. Delicious as always. And the required family pictures as well…

Then home for presents, cards, and flowers. I got my pink bike!!! The boys and I went for a ride around the neighborhood (Timmy is now riding Patrick’s old bike with training wheels and doing a GREAT job). Then just Jack and I went for a looooooong ride over to and around Hempstead Lake State Park. Pizza and sushi for dinner. It was a great day.

So very thankful for the reasons I am a mommy.

Jack (who gives me a little massage every time he walks by my chair)

Patrick (who is always picking pretty flowers for me)

Timmy (who says ‘just you & me mommy’ with big smiles and hugs

Hope all the mommies out there had a great mothers day too!
