Happy Mother's Day

Although I don't have a ton of pictures from the weekend - it was a perfect! I spent Friday evening managing the house so I would have little left to do over the weekend. Then, on Saturday, I got a massage, did some shopping, and came home. My goal was to get everyone dressed and ready for some photos in the backyard. This was what I got:
So much for family photos. I actually had us all sitting down and ready to go, when Jeff started complaining about the sun being in his eyes. I could handle the kids complaining, but when Jeff starts in, I'm outnumbered. I ended the photo shoot, sad that I didn't get my pictures in.

Well, Jeff and Janna both ended up feeling bad. Janna repaid me by taking some individual photos. Or maybe she was trying to get ice cream. Whatever, I got some pictures.




Sickly, dry, palms.
Watermelon vine growing....
Basil.
Cilantro.
We also have mint, tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, and sunflowers all growing in our back yard!

Mother's Day lilies.
And that's about it. Aside from the photography disaster, the weekend went pretty well. At least Sunday did, which was the important day. I got to sleep in, Jeff took the kids out and got bagels, I didn't do any work (not laundry or dishes or cleaning)....and then we got to go out to the new Japanese Steak house. Even better? The kids did GREAT at dinner. Janna tried everything I asked her to try, and she gobbled up the shrimp without any complaints. She also really liked the miso soup. A major score with our very picky eater.
