Happy Mother's Day

Sunday morning I woke up to presents.

Homemade presents will always be my favorite presents.

And seeing my new name from my wonderful husband was nothing short of amazing.

His card was touching and heartfelt and the kiddos were very interested in mimicing it to make their own hearts out of their own hands.

And there were cinnamon rolls, and coffee in my favorite mug.

(Just like they do their cupcakes, our kids ate all the frosting off their cinnamon roll and then they were done.)

And mimosas - made with pink champagne - for my lunch.

We then spent the afternoon in the warm sunshine at the park.

We played until we were tired, then we went home to nap. 

It was perfect.

We celebrated Cindo de Mayo with homemade chicken fajitas, spanish rice, refried beans and mango margaritas.  It was perfection.

We All Got Needs

It was a tough Monday. Which followed a long weekend of getting stuff done around the house. I NEEDED this wine. And I needed the quietness that follows after both kids are in their beds and Clay and I fall back into the couch and relax.

The wine was just poured when I heard footsteps. And giggles. The sounds of a little boy sneaking out of his room when he should be sleeping.  And my tempered flared and I stomped into the living room ready to drag my boy back to his bed and reclaim my zen.

But how could I stay mad at that face?

So he stayed. For a few minutes at least. Enough time for him get some mumma & daddy time without a little sister demanding half the attention and half the hugs.  He needed that.
