Happy Mother's Day

I feel so blessed to be a mother! Today was such a great day thanks to Nik and the kids and a few times today I got teary just thinking about the Joy I get from being a mother! It is so hard to put my feelings into words. It is such an amazing feeling (overwhelming at times) to be responsible for and in charge of everything they learn. What a huge responsibility and job we have as mothers, but also what a huge blessing it is in our lives!! I think you get what I'm trying to say!

This was my favorite Mother's Day ever! Nik woke up early with the kids and let me sleep in. I heard Miranda crying a little and sat up in bed. When she saw me she got the biggest smile on her face and crawled as fast as she could to get to me. Then when Ian found out I was awake he came running in and said "Happy Mother's Day" and gave me a big hug and kiss.

Nik made a yummy breakfast of French Toast (this is him trying to look surprised) and he had let Ian and Miranda color me pictures while I was asleep. Ian was so excited to give me the picture he colored.

The kids were playing so cute today! They are so funny and I love them so much! Being a mom is the best! There are hard days (sometimes really hard days) and times when both kids are crying, the house is a mess, and I just want to pull my hair out or get sent to my room, but there are other times when it is truly heaven on earth... and those are the times that make it all worth it!

The mother's day festivities started on Saturday! We went shopping and I got two new swimming tops (I desperately need them) and then we had a late movie night in the family room! The kids loved it and I did too because we were all together! We watched "101 Dalmations" and had popcorn! It was so much fun!

Thanks to Nik and my kids for making this the best mother's day ever!!
