Happy Mother’s Day 2019

Mothers Day with the kids

The kids and I surprised Allison with some nice Mother’s Day gifts. I picked up a potted plant that looked really interesting and both the kids and Allison liked it. Then I thought of something that Allison really likes, Chocolate. So when I saw the S’Mores Kit I had to pick it up for her. She’s now all set for a night of making S’Mores.

Andrew and Eva were quite thoughtful in their gifts. They found an adorable bunny at a craft fair. Also, in first grade the kids make portraits of their mothers. Andrew is great with details and he even included one of Allison’s knitted shawls. Then he gave her a really nice card. When we were reading it we got to one page and busted out laughing so much. It is such a perfect kid thing.

Mom makes great crepes
My Mom is the best because because: She Makes graet crapes.”

Of course, that is not what Allison and I read because of how close all the letters are.

We had Allison’s parents staying with us last night after Grandma Eva’s funeral. We decided that we would have a Mother’s Day lunch with food from Chub’s Blue Pig BBQ. We had the huge sampler plus extra ribs and it was perfect amount for the full family and even for dinner later. It was a nice day and nice for the kids to get to spend some time with their grandparents.
