Happy Mother's day! The most wonderful gift I have been given is Jonas and Silas. My days as a mom is pretty ordinary, I plan my day around meals and naps and in between, cleaning pee off the bathroom walls just to spice it up a little. Sounds easy, right? And when you look at photos off our blog, you think, what a cute family, they have so much fun! Don't get me wrong, we enjoy life to the fullest! To know what to say and when to say nothing at all is a learning experience for me. And when to promote independence and how to teach them from my own ways without ruining their perspective. The responsibilities are never-ending. But I love it!
The boys organized an epic day for me. First they greeted me with their cute smiles and infectious giggles in my bed when I awoke and handed me their pictures, poems, and a gift, a new golf umbrella. Jonas revealed to me that he loves me to the moon and to Mars too! Silas said,"luv you".
Off to breakfast at my favorite diner, Country Road Cafe in Kitteridge. There was a 45 minute wait so we walked down to the creek behind the restaurant and skipped rocks on the water. After a huge plate of pancakes and omelets, we set off to Mount Falcon for a 3 mile hike.
Silas and Jonas with mom!
We came home exhausted and all took naps. Before I woke up, Matt and Silas went to the grocery store and picked up some flowers and appetizer for dinner.
Then I had a hankering for a strawberry pie. Silas and I made a pie crust from scratch and filled it with strawberries and some tart apples.
It turned out delicious!
Our last moment together that evening was sitting around the living room and Matt asking questions to the boys about me.
"Silas, how old is mommy?" -2
"Jonas, what is something mama always says to you?" -Let' go!
"Silas, how tall is mommy?" -16 feet
"Jonas, what do you and mama do together?" -Wash dishes!
