Mother's Day

Today has been the absolute best mothers day yet! And it's not even over! It actually started yesterday when my wonderful husband said, "Mother's Day is going to start today!" He made brunch for us all and then took Gabi and Madi to Twin with him (not an easy task!) and did the grocery shopping! What a man! I got to stay home with Brynlee and do whatever I wanted. Wonderful. I ended up cleaning, but I didn't mind. I actually enjoy the monotony of cleaning, it gives me a chance to think which doesn't seem to happen a lot lately. :) When the got home, the girls handed me a dozen red roses and told me, "Happy Mothers Day!" It was super cute.I had homemade pizza for dinner (gluten free of course!) and we had a relaxing evening.
Church was wonderful as usual. Gabi sang with the primary for the first time since being a sunbeam. Even though she stood up there wide eyed staring at all of the people, she managed to smile every time she saw us in the crowd. She didn't sing one song, and neither did the other kids her age up there, but she sure looked cute! I went up with the Young Women to sing a compilation of songs, and it ended up turning out really nice. We had one youth speaker who did a fantastic job, as well as two Young Single Adults from the local YSA branch.
Madi even went to nursery and only cried for about 5min- a new record, and Gabi went to Sunbeams without crying at all! I taught in Young Women's today. I really love having a calling with the Young Women. They never cease to amaze me. They are so much more prepared spiritually than I was at that age. I love their unique personalities and perspectives.
When we arrived home Isaac had the girls bring a card with their hands traced on them and a bag of Dove chocolates...mmmm my favorite! Isaac also gave me a card from him with... a gift card for a manicure and pedicure!! I am so lucky!! It has been such a relaxing weekend, I can't think of a better way to celebrate Mother's Day.
