My Mother's Day

On Sunday Myles and Carter woke me up around 9am by bringing me a cup of tea in bed. All the kids came up to give me the cards they had made for me. We went downstairs when Berkleigh announced that breakfast was ready; Bryan had made omelets and hash browns with artichokes -- yummy!
After breakfast I cut Bryan's, Myles', and Carter's hair. We got a little crazy (notice the lightning bolt in Carter's hair below). I made bread dough and went outside while it was rising.

I hung up a load of laundry (all socks and underwear!) that Bryan gathered and put in the machine.


I also mowed a little of the hill, just to mow something on Mother's Day.

I spent a couple of relaxing hours on my birthday/mother's day present from Bryan and the kids:

It was a beautiful day for knitting, of course (what day isn't?!).

I watched Bryan work on finishing our massive playset project.

The kids were so excited about the new cargo net addition that they waited in line instead of playing on the rest of the playset.

The kids and Bryan cleaned up the play yard while I took down the laundry, kneaded the bread dough, and made honey butter (with homemade butter -- more on that another day) to go with the fresh bread. Then it was off to Faye and Jerry's for a turkey dinner. When we got back I mowed the play yard while Bryan gave all four kids baths. We stayed up late watching the Survivor finale, which was a great way to end a really nice day.
