Mother's Day 2

Mother's Day was lots of fun, and thanks to our friends Erin & Chuck, we'll have graphics to add to this post later (we love the "new to you" camera! Thanks!).

The day actually started on Friday, with Elliot giving me his fingerpainted rose card, and Ana a papier-mache vase with flowers. These hand-made gifts are the gems of parenthood. We had those proudly on display during our second annual Mothers Day Brunch. We have Tita and Tito over, and enjoy Kevin's home-cooked goodness!

After that, I typically like to spend the day having fun with the kids...just enjoying them. I've never been lured to the Irma Thomas performance at the Audubon Zoo, or the other concert in the quarter, although those sound like fun. I prefer the quieter joys of our home. We spent the early afternoon playing in the garden, and water...then went over to Tita's for fun in the slip and slide. Neither of the kids had ever seen one. The pictures I have of them playing in it are priceless! We're going to have to get one for home/school.

After a fun-filled day, the kids are asleep, and it's only 6. They will sleep through the night. What a treat that is.

Happy Mothers Day to all you sexy muthas. And for you mamas to be too(-=
