Mother's Day Weekend

Overall it was a great weekend. You know it was good when it got kicked off with a date night to PF Changs! Meanwhile the kids munched on chips and queso with the grandparents at the local Mexican joint.

Saturday consisted of a family trip to Home Depot. This is actually quite a fun place for little ones. Out in the garden center there are always lots of little puddles for stomping in- not to mention the fountains and display ponds. There are a mulititude of flowers to sniff (and grab-oops!) Both Alexia and Caleb love being outside.

Later on we had a fun BBQ at a freind's house with LOTS of kids and a moon jump to assist in wearing them out. A few minutes of rain didn't do much damage the party kept on going. Thanks Michelle for always being the social butterfly to keep so many of us interacting!
On Sunday, Erik made us all pancakes before we headed out to a great church service. Each week I have fallen more in love with our "new" church - I have learned so much this past year. After that, we went around the corner to my mom and dad's house for a nice lunch with them and Erik's step-mom and grandma Judy. Mom (deservingly) took off of making her own fried chicken, but Publix steped in and it was a pretty good meal!
** side note** Alexia and I were eating leftovers this evening when she asked "how it gets to be fried chicken" I respectfully answered that the chicken has to first be killed when she interrupted "I bet the chicken doesn't like that" - hahaha I love kids!!
Back to Mother's Day, the kids were whiny and tired at the end of a long weekend. That can be trying, but a bath and early bedtime for them always fixes it up! I had to post some pictures of our recent photo shoot. Who wouldn't want to be the mom to these cute little angels?
