Mothers' Day Week got off to a great start! My goal this week was to share some of my favorite things with my daughters. The only way to make your favorite things better is to do them with your favorite people!
First up, horseback riding with my beloved Kahlo:
We all enjoyed it!
They're just so cute...
We had a good time,
And they so enjoyed the "coffee"!
I enjoyed it, too, though it ended up all over their dresses, kitties and my phone!
It was worth it to see them happy!
After that, FL got her cast off!!!! Hooray!
So we went shopping at an art and crafts store, another favorite thing of mine.
Later in the week, we headed to get some flowers for the garden: one for me and one for each of the girls' birthmothers. We also picked up some paint for a weekend project. Two more favorite things!
We packed it all into the van - it was like a little traveling garden!
Then we were off to the zoo to look at the animals with our friends and spend time together.
We rode the zoo train together, which is really one of the girls' favorite things, but I do love making them smile!
We met up with our friends and had a great time together. It was a full and fantastic day!
Later in the week, we met MeMe and Uncle Jon for dinner.
Once we were done eating, we sat on the front porch so the adults could visit and the little people could be cute!
C and FL played forever on the wheelchair ramp!
Don't you love those ruffle pants?! And the little elf that wears them!
When the girls were thinking it might be a good idea to lay down and roll down the ramp, I decided a change of scenery would be a good idea. We went to look at/crawl on/ bang rocks on the old water tower nearby.
They loved it!
And then they got silly together, which I love!
I mean, you have to do something to entertain yourself when your mom takes SO MANY pictures of you!
They were cracking me up!
They really enjoy each other most of the time - and that is such a gift to me!
So silly! We had a nice time playing and visiting.
We also made some Mothers Day crafts, including picture frames and stoping stones. The girls enjoy any kind of art activity, much like their mom!
I wanted an imprint of their sweet little hands in the stones. They're growing so fast - I have to capture what I can!
I hope to be able to make a set each year as they grow up.
They liked putting their hands in, but they really liked decorating with the glass.
They were so careful and thoughtful about the placement of each piece.
It was fun to do together!
I think they turned out so beautifully!
My parents also came over for dinner on Mothers Day but I didn't have it together enough to get a picture! Next time!!!! Forgive me!
Gardening is something that the girls and I like to do together, so we planted our roses and other flowers from earlier in the week.
My super cute, determined little one and my super cute observant one!
C and FL each got to "help" dig the hole and decide on the placement of their rose bush.
They helped fill the hole with dirt and water the flowers.
They were precious. C and FL are always up for going outside and playing in the dirt and sunshine!
It was an honor to plant these rose bushes in honor of their birth mothers. I know they would be so proud of them.
They also planted one for me!
It was a wonderful Mothers Day and week!
