Super Mother's Day Happiness!

Mother's Day was a beautiful day here in So. Cal. and my sweetie-pie kidlets and husband made it a special day! They made blueberry pancakes (my favorite!) and had this lovely bouquet right next to my plate.

Luke plays with his food quite often and did this to his plate.

Alani got these pretty green stone earrings at a booth during the Vineyard Run we were in a couple Saturdays ago, that I still need to blog about. The lady told Alani the stones were from some river in Indonesia. Kinda neat-o!

Both of the earrings were on my dresser last night and this morning I could only find this one. But I WILL find the other one! This is who I'm certain is responsible!

She regularly steals things and hides them.
The rest of my day was relaxing because I didn't have to do dishes or laundry or any of that other boring stuff that all mama's need to do. Then later that evening Alani and Luke made these.

Cookie dough on the bottom, with Oreos on top, then with brownie batter on top of that! Oh my goodness, they are very rich and yummy and they did such a good job! So that was my Mama's Day! I didn't get to see our oldest because she had to work, and we sure did miss her, but I will see her soon :)

Oh! I can't leave this out...my husband gave me these

because they say "Mother's" on them and he thought they were appropriate! Such a crack up! Happy Mother's Day (a bit late) to each and every one of you!! Taniya

An April Weekend

What do we do around here over the weekend? We usually try to kick our feet up as much as possible. But some weekends are full of work because it's the only time Clark Kent has to do some major stuff...like fix fences.

Luke got some muscle building time mowing the lawn,

and Alani washed the car!

 

 

Later in the evening, I got into my pj's kind of early to get comfy and we drove to pick up our daughter at a friend's house who had a bonfire. So I wore my new bunny slippers! Ha ha!

My sister brought them over the last time I was sick and I think they're so cute. But don't worry, my husband went to the door to get her! Sunday morning I got up early, like I do almost every Sunday morning, to make a funner-than-usual breakfast. Like multi-grain blueberry pancakes! Mmmm!

(My pancakes never turn out perfectly round) And how about some bacon?

Can't forget the oatmeal with walnuts and cranberries.

I squeezed some orange juice and made coffee too but didn't take photos of that. Hee hee! We got nice and full before heading to church. I think we ran some boring errands after that and then just relaxed the rest of the day at home. I hope your weekend was great and that your work week isn't too stressful! If it is, you can always head on over here to my little blog for some funny pictures and uplifting words! Blessings to you, Taniya
