Mother's Day

In spite of the rain and dreary weather, Mother's Day was wonderful. Dave put the cinnamon rolls in the oven. They were a delicious breakfast. After church, we came home and I got to just sit and read the paper, while they got dinner ready. That is one of the best parts of the day. It's so nice to be able to relax after church. We had a delicious dinner of chicken kiev, baked potatoes, carrots and pudding. After they finished the dishes, there were gifts for me. Katelyn got me a variety of cookbooks and some bath soaps. Chelsea gave me a new water bottle. Shaelyn gave me a sunflower that she started growing from seeds at school. We'll see how well they fare!
I had to play flute for church at night and Chelsea had to sing in the praise team, so we headed to church early in the afternoon. Katelyn stayed home with Shaelyn so she had supper ready when we all got home. Then we got to watch the Survivor finale. I was really hoping that Amanda would win. But we were happy that at least they got rid of Natalie next.
Hope you all enjoyed your Mother's Day as well!

It's Tulip time

Chelsea got to march in the Tulip parade on Wednesday and Saturday. Not that she was that thrilled about doing it. The weather was great - although she thought it was hot with her uniform on. I told her that it could have been a lot worse. Last year it was really cold and rainy. I was going to get a picture but I was gone to Katelyn's college in the morning when she left and she had already changed her clothes when I picked her up. She got home around 5:30. She's been wanting to go to IHOP for supper so we went there after she got home. We also decided it was too nice of a night to go immediately home after shopping and so we had to get ice cream too. This works out great when Dave is working shows because then I only have to pay for 3!
I must say this weather has been perfect lately. I just got done mowing my lawn because I think it might rain and it's got to get it out of its system before Saturday when we have our open house! Pray for nice weather!!
Oh, mother's day was nice too. Dave fixed steaks and baked potatoes. The girls got me different types of lotions and a gift certificate for scrapbooking. I can always use those things. Hope all your mothers days were good too.
