Brooke was so excited about Mother's Day. She made me several cards and a very cool project at school. She anticipated the day so much that she woke up about 2 hours early (5:45AM) and came charging into our room to wish me "Happy Mother's Day!". When Daddy asked her if her light was green (meaning she could get out of bed) she said she didnt know, and she looked pretty crushed. We knew we couldn't send her back to her room, and thus Mother's Day officially had begun.
I got ready and got Ryan ready while Brooke went downstairs and did some surprise decorating. We were then off to begin our adventure(s). We began the day with a yummy breakfast.
After breakfast, we went shopping for flowers. At the end of our trip to the nursery, Ryan began to get pretty cranky. While buckling Brooke in, she let out a big yawn. After the kids started fighting over who was going to get to water the new flowers with our (one) flowering can, we decided to change the plans a bit. We cruised around until the kids got bored enough to fall asleep. While the slept, I ran into a store and picked up a second watering can (which later in the day the kids fought over who got THAT one) followed by a trip to the bakery.
The nap did the kids some good, and the rest of the day had much less drama. Thank goodness, because it wasnt even lunch time yet ;)
We had a great rest of the day and both of the kids were really happy with our Mother's Day celebration. Cupcakes after dinner seemed to solidify the awesomeness of the day, and everyone went to bed with a smile.
