I'm a little late in sharing some Mothers Day things, but it was a little different this year. I was on call for the weekend but the hours were covered. The girls and families planned to stop over at sometime during the day. But, the best laid plans don't always work! Our night nurse ended up in the hospital with a kidney infection so I ended up working all weekend and our plans were cancelled.
However, it really isn't about the day. I did talk to all my kids that day, and I have to show a few cute things that came later.
We planned to see Laura, Aaron and girls but more craziness happened at work, which I'll tell you about tomorrow, so that will happen later. However, a neat gift certificate arrived in the mail from them. It's a membership to a Botanical Garden about an hour from here. I've always wanted to go there as the gardens are supposed to be beautiful and they have great trails to hike. This membership also applies to several places in our area and will be fun to visit and photograph.
So, things don't always go as planned, but this just stretches out the fun, right?

Even though the day wasn't what you planned all of your kids had you in their thoughts and that's what really counts. The Botanical Garden sounds like a really neat place. You are so lucky to have such a talented cookie maker in your midst and the roses were beautiful. Have a great week!

Stretched-out fun is the very best kind of fun, I say. WOW Nikki sure IS talented! Those cookies are adorable and I love the way she packed them on the happy-colors confetti! So cute. I'm sorry your day did not go as planned but you are right: It's not about the day as much as it's about the relationship you have with your children all year round. xoxo
Wonderful gifts!! I thought those cookies were fancy little soap bars!
Hello my Lovely!
Just playing catch up since I wasn't around last week. I caught up on the rest of the trip and all the family pics too. 😍
You're such a wonderful caring nurse. And an amazing Mama. I'm glad - even belated - you got to feel spoiled and loved. xo
