My 1st Mothers Day!

-
What a joy to be a mom. Yesterday was like having another birthday this year. Matt was so sweet and spent the day Saturday with Sarabeth while I slept, a lot! He managed to secretly make me a flower box for outside my kitchen window. I woke up to this on Sunday morning: (please excuse the bad roots, not to mention the dirty hair)The card says "mommy" and you can see the flower box in the crib (no babies were harmed during the taking of this picture)

We had a great day at church and then spent the afternoon buying flowers to plant in my new window box and in the front beds.

I told Matt a few weeks ago that I would like to plant some flowers for Mother's Day. What I meant was I wanted flowers planted for Mother's Day...oops! So what was meant to be a family affair soon turned into a one man show:We, I mean Matt stayed up very late and only made it through a few plants. Poor thing! I will have some completed pictures later this week.

I really did enjoy my day, better than any birthday or holiday. Being a mom is such a joy and having a day all to myself is priceless!

Tonight I tucked in my sweet 2 year old son for the last time. Tomorrow he will be 3.  My second born, my baby for a while.  For the first time ever, he asked me to lay beside him as he went to sleep tonight.  I had a million other things on my mind and dirty dishes from supper calling my name.  I took him up on his offer and my heart was blessed indeed.  I laid there and thought about how my first born wanted me to lay beside her every night, I had to often tell her no because I knew it would just prolong her going to sleep.  It's sad really that your first child gets way more attention than the second.  It's true. No longer is it just one on one, now I am outnumbered and have to find a way to give more of myself. Now add #3 and it's just a circus. Nathan is my sweet loving little boy. Full of life and curiosity.  Looking for the next opportunity to do something he's not supposed to.  In one minute he can destroy a room and melt my heart....

Garland Party

The Nesting Place is hosting this great party with lots of really cool garland ideas, I LOVE this site. Since we are going to be in Florida for Christmas this year, and our townhouse is too small for our tree, I decided to have fun with this garland idea . I took two strands of lighted garland that I bought 2 years ago from an after Christmas sale at Michaels and twisted them together. Then I headed over to Hobby Lobby where they had all of their floral stems on sale for 50% off. I also added some things from around the house that I had. This was the only place I could find to put the garland so excuse the big fat TV in view. However, my sweet hubby did build me a mantle over the weekend and it should be up and functional in a few days. I'll repost my new and improved garland complete with my mantel tomorrow. Anyway, enjoy and check out Nesting Place for more fun!
