B.M.D.E. (best mother's day ever.)

was awoken at 7am by sweet little faces carrying handmade cards and a box full of french delicacies from the Cream Pan (i luuurve my hubbie!!!)



sampled two croissants (banana... then blueberry) before feeling slightly poorly, like i overdosed on butter and sugar...


went to visit grandparents and took Grandma a pretty orchid :)

stopped at Costco for a brand new slightly bigger TV (ours broke on Friday. life without TV=not pretty;)

drove home really really fast to plug it in and watch it! i made veggie pizza while Aaron installed our gargantuan new TV. i never knew TVs just hung on the wall like picture frames... I NEVER KNEW they were held up by just two teeny tiny hooks... we have EARTHQUAKES here! must find way to duct tape TV to wall so it won't jump off in an earthquake :|

we watched Wallace and Gromit's movie about the serial killing girlfriend and i admit, i dislike Wallace more than ever - he is SO UNBELIEVABLY MEAN to Gromit :( meaner than that horrible penguin Feathers McGraw, even :(

moved furniture around (OK, i asked Aaron to move furniture around;) i have been hating our big cubular thing that has toy baskets and books and pictures in it (this thing)

anyway it has scuffs all over the shelves and i have been seriously wanting to burn it at the beach... i have even tried painting the shelves, which made them look worse than ever. well who knew you could turn the whole thing around... and it looks brand new again!!! a bookshelf you can just flip around!! gooooosh i love IKEA (sometimes....)

did the same thing with the scuffed up cubby thing in the dining room where we keep all our wonderful craft/school supplies (i love the idea of running a pretend homeschool - we have soooooo many Kumon books and paper and pencils and protractors and compasses :)

it got really cool and overcast with beautiful fluffy soft box skies (thanks Melissa... the wish came true!) and we went to our favorite park to take pictures and feed the ducks.





helped a man fit the bumper back onto his car after he ran into a huge log (because we are just nice like that;) then went to In-N-Out for animal fries for dinner :)

played hockey and soccer outside till bedtime




played with kittens :)

had double berry cheesecake icecream :)

twas a wonderful day :)
