Amini Adventures: Mother's Day Weekend

What a nice weekend! Saturday, Bella and I spent the morning together shopping for a gift for mom and buying some really pretty flowers. Then we picked up the boys from mom's house and gave her her Mother's Day gifts. When I came home there was a beautiful boquet of flowers and a wonderful card from Joe sitting on the counter. That afternoon we did some work on the house and then the boys had a soccer game (which Mary came to watch!) ...and they won! Their first victory :) In the evening Joe and I drove out to Howell and had dinner with the Longs. We had such a fun time. We went to this Black Rock Restaurant, where you can cook your steak on a 750 degree rock! It was a neat experience. We love spending time with David and Marie!

This morning Joe let me sleep in. Ahhhh...I didn't get out of bed until after 8! When the boys heard me up and about they came running upstairs with their gifts for me. It was sooooooo sweet. They both had made presents at school. Andrew's is a hanging picture craft with his little hand cut out. David made me a rose shaped pen (out of duct tape!) and also a picture of him in a flower, and a matted art work from his art class. I just love these little gifts. It was really just so neat that they were excited, too. I am so blessed. We went out to breakfast together and then off to church. After lunch, we had naps. I love naps!! Then we walked to the park to play a while and when we came home we grilled our dinner and made s'mores in the fire pit. The best part was when I tucked the boys in. I always ask them what the best part of their day was. Tonight David said, "Spending the whole day with you." My heart just melted.
