This was probably one of my favorite Mother's Days! I got to spend time with my children and my favorite women! On Saturday, mom, Stacey, Stacey's friend, Carlie, and I went to brunch at Five Thymes Five in Winter Garden. I had shrimp and grits and it was so delicious! We had a great conversation that was not interrupted once by little people needing anything.
After lunch, we picked up Lyla and went to see Singin in the Rain at the Garden Theater, also in downtown Winter Garden. The show was excellent and we had a great time together. I think we've created a new tradition. Next year, Miriam will join us and the five girls will enjoy motherhood and womanhood all together.
On Sunday morning, I slept in a little bit and the children brought me breakfast in bed. I had made two different breakfast casseroles (a sausage, egg, cheese one and a baked French toast) for the Scouts the morning before. Luckily there were leftovers and I got to enjoy them. Grayson also poured my OJ and made me peanut butter toast. Jared said when he got downstairs, Grayson had already started on breakfast and Landon was washing dishes. I love my sweet kids.
The children picked out a "princess" dress for me to wear and we took a photo in front of our neighbor's roses. I certainly felt like a princess!
The children saw this little note holder in a magazine of theirs (Highlights Magazine RULES) and wanted to make it for me. They apparently had it planned for awhile. They painted it, glued it, hung it on my bedroom door, and now are using it to leave me little notes. I love it!
My Sunday School class at church brought me flowers. This was so unexpected and really touched me. I love my class! 10 year olds are probably my favorite!
