5/8/11 - Happy Mother's Day!

Today is Mother's Day!!! YAY. I'm not a huge proponent of Mother's Day (along with Valentines Day or Father's Day), but I have to admit, this day fills me with an amazing sense of pride. As hard as it may be, and as frustrated as I may get some days, being a mother is the most amazing gift I've ever been given. Mother's Day is just an amazing reminder of this gift, and of how lucky I am to have the chance to raise these amazing little girls of mine. I feel like I should be celebrating them!

I of course must with my mother a very happy Mother's Day today. We may not have always seen eye to eye over the years, and have had our share of Mother/Daughter battles, but, in the end, she's always been there for me and I know she would do anything for me, and for my girls, and that means the world. So, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, Mom!

We were all up nice and early. Christian and Olivia presented me with a little gift, a picture frame filled with a couple pictures, and a drawing from Olivia. Cute! And, a very nice card of course. We gave the girls a quick bath, and were off to Perkins for breakfast. YUM. After eating, we headed home to just hang out and relax for a while. Once Amelia was down for a nap, Christian took to the yard to mow for the first time! I don't get it, but he was pretty excited about it. Blah. After, we each took a shower and got ready, then were off to the Madrid's for a Mother's Day BBQ and a play date. Olivia and Meeka had tons of fun together. We had some yummy Kabob's and Fries and fruit for dinner. The weather, which started off icky turned out to be pretty great, so we got some play time out in the fresh air. Then, we were finally on our way home. Long, wonderful day!

Olivia started off really well today, woke up dry, didn't go at Perkins, used her potty, all on her own all morning. But, with the playing and excitement, she had two accidents when we were at the BBQ/play date. But, over all, we had a really great weekend, and we're super proud of her! It's going to take some work, especially since it's not really her leading the way on training, but we're going to stick with it, and I know she'll get there with time.

Here are some pictures of our Mother's Day fun. Olivia would not cooperate, so I couldn't get a picture with just her :( Amelia was a wiggle worm, so we just had to do the best we could. LOL
