365 Photo Challenge Day 133

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

I hope every mom had a great Mother's Day!!

My day started off at 4:30am when Cpl. Mayhem sent a card to my phone. He wanted to be sure that I at least got this card before he left for work!
He's too sweet!
Once the kids were up they gave me the best gifts! Chicky made me a jewelry box at school and Ducky gave me what I could describe as an "Appreciation Mom". So when I was feeling sad or frustrated that I should pull out one of the slips of paper and read something that he wrote that he loved about me.
LOVE THEM!!
Ducky wanted to read a couple right then an there so the three I pulled out were:

"You always remember to turn off my nightlight"
"You clean the house really well!"
"You are the best mom in the world!"


The morning was spent with very little fighting (shocking!) and it was just really nice to spend the time with the kids!
After lunch we cleaned out last year's flower planter and added new seeds that we got a couple of weeks before at a fair. Chicky has been wanting to do this for a long time and weather was so nice it was really hard not to!
Are they growing yet?
Once we were done I took my book out to read while Chicky played with chalk and Ducky was running around with his friends. I have a feeling this outfit will be worn most of the summer if you haven't noticed it in a previous picture.
Covered in chalk!
Once Ducky came home I decided to treat me and the kids to something at Tim Horton's. They were being really good and it was Mother's Day!
MMM Ice Cap and Timbits!
A trip to the park rounded out our day by the time it was bedtime there were no arguments, just too really tired and happy kids, as well as a really happy mommy!
What a perfect day! Thank you kiddies!
