There were no birthday parties to attend, or errand to go on, and the lawn did not need to be mowed. The fridge is filled with food, and there are leftovers to cover quite a few meals. The house is very clean, thanks to a recent wonderful dinner with Ray's cousins. I am not sure about the state of the laundry, but we have clothes enough for today.
Today was an outside day, a barefoot day. The sprinklers went on for the first time this season and the kids loved watching them and playing near the spray. We have a wonderful back porch, but for some reason our driveway is the place we always end up. Max drove his car around and then took a turn on his Big Wheels. He pulled me in a wagon (our version of physical therapy) which cracks me up. Caroline and I drew chalk pictures and drank soda. She played basketball with Ray and I played lasers with Max. Both kids played with umbrellas. I am not sure why there is a household fascination with umbrellas right now, but there is. Max calls them rebrellas.
Caroline had a long play time in her room and Max is still napping as I type this.
I think this day may be the best Mother's Day gift ever!
I wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day and some peace and quiet and sunshine!
Happy Mother's Day to you tomorrow! I hope it's a great day!
ReplyDeleteWe're having a quiet day, too. Tim (son) is home for the weekend. Lawn is mowed, no chalk on the driveway .... it's still raining here and cold.... but I do appreciate your post. It reminds me to be thankful for peace and quiet.
