What is it about Mother's Day and Father's Day where your kids act up more than usual?! haha Somehow, both days turned out that way. No breakfast in bed for us. ;) They were waking up early, crying at the drop of a hat, and running to their rooms any time someone angered them. My sister-in-law texted me "Happy Mother's Day! I hope it is a peaceful and relaxing day!"
.....................................
Peaceful and relaxing indeed.
Oh I'm just kidding, we adore those little stinkers so much! Our world wouldn't be the same without them and we cherish being their mom and dad, even on the hardest of days.
There were definitely some bright shining moments for me on Mother's Day! For example, while Nic isn't the 'kids, help me make mom breakfast' type. He does always remember that I love getting one of these from them ...
How cute was that?! And pretty spot on too, actually! Although I find the fact that my pickiest child said his favorite food I make for him is ALL OF THEM. ;) Probably didn't think about having to choke down broccoli. haha I definitely do love him something fierce!! Both of them!!
Along with that sweet card in bed, they gave me a 'Lyla' necklace to match my 'Liam' one. I love it so much!!
The one part of Mother's Day that was really special for me was spending time with my mom. It was the first time after 2 months apart that we broke our social distancing and had a picnic lunch together by the Boise River.
We let the kids take off their shoes and put their feet in the water. They found rocks to throw in and sticks to bring home. It gave me time to talk and catch up with my mom. Everyone was happy and having a great time!
The sass came back out when it was time to go back home. haha
My mom gave me the most beautiful bouquet of blooms from her snowball bush in her backyard that I loved having on my kitchen table for a few days!
I absolutely adore this picture of Nic and our kids on Father's Day! He is THE BEST dad in the world! He makes them feel so special and loved. For example, this backpack he bought on his own for Lyla after she was sad she didn't have one like Liam. It came in the mail in her favorite color with her name embroidered on it. She was beaming when he gave it to her! And Liam, his dad is his best friend. Their world together revolves around lego building and space ship battles. It's my favorite thing to watch!
We went over my to my dad's for dinner that night and it was our first time back together as a family! The only member missing was Brendan so my dad had us make this sign and we all Facetimed him with it. He later sent me a cropped close up of Lyla's face and I about peed my pants and fell over at the same time from laughing so hard. She'd had a rough week with potty training and it showed. haha
So many mother and father figures in our lives that we love! Hope you all know how special you are!
