Mother's Day Weekend

Let me preface this by saying that I LOVE holidays. It doesn't matter which one it is but I somehow manage to make it into a multi-day event. So rather than a post about Mother's Day, I have to of course post about the whole weekend.

On Saturday, Owen and I went to the farmers market to get strawberries to make a strawberry pie but they didn't have any so we ended up driving to an orchard to pick our own.

Here's Owen headed out with his wagon on the way to the field.

Our loot! The flowers were for Lita for Mother's Day and I have no idea what's going on with Owen's face in this one.



Saturday afternoon we went to the pool and it was awesome. VERY crowded because it was the first day open but Owen loved it. He was such a fish this year! I'm so excited to get his swimming this summer. It's great living here in the Woodlands because we have many, many pools to choose from. A big difference from the Pear where our subdivision didn't have a pool and we just had to mooch off the Flemings.

Sunday morning I slept in and awoke to breakfast in bed and something I'm sure not many other mothers received, a puppet show.



It was SO funny. I wish I had been more awake but I remember Mr. Tickle and Mr. Rude from Mr. Men and I think there was something about a Mom in it. Owen did his "character" voice that he uses for every inanimate object. From a stormtrooper to a snake, they all sound exactly the same. Unless of course it's a robot, and then you get a totally different voice.

And Bryan and Owen turned the strawberries into strawberry pie.




We spent the rest of the day with Bryan's family and got to spend more time with Grandpa and Aunt Liz who had flown in from St. Louis. Grandpa is still hanging in there but gettting weaker.

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!
