Mother’s Day

I had a very nice Mother’s Day yesterday.  I woke up and got to read in bed while Mark fixed a great breakfast.  I got some wonderful cards, and then we all ate and headed out for church.  After church, we went straight out to my parents’ house.  The guys had prepared an awesome lunch.  Pops, Mark, and Bo all took part in putting together a great lunch that Mouse and I enjoyed very much. 

After lunch, Nina went on a serious stink bug hunt.  Out in Haymarket, there are lots of stink bugs, and some find their way inside the house.  Every time Nina sees a stink bug, she calls on Poppy to catch it and flush it down the toilet.  She kept Poppy pretty busy as she was hunting all over the house for stink bugs.  She drew a little picture of the ones she found, and Poppy even collected a few in a Gatorade bottle for her. 

It was a gorgeous day, so after lunch, the girls changed and spent the rest of the day playing outside.  They had a lot of fun doing simple things like racing with buckets, jumping, and making beds for the little animals my parents gave them.  It was a great day for getting treated special and spending time with family!
