It’s a lovely spring morning here in Colorado. Our malamute is calling (howling) for his pack…that would be, the kids, the Mister and myself. I love to hear him…however at 6:00 a.m. I am not sure the neighbors are too thrilled. The woodpecker is just as loud, so if and when the neighbors are awakened they can’t blame it all on our furry fellow.
Mother’s Day was really enjoyable. First thing in the morning our youngest climbed into bed with a bag full of goodies he made at school for me. I took the dog and our oldest boy for a walk while Dad worked out on the elliptical. Our youngest didn’t want to go if he couldn’t ride his bike, so he opted to stay with Dad and work on a project. I had a great conversation and wonderful one on one time with my son while we exercised our four legged family members. When we got home from the walk the Mister loaded up the crew and took them grocery shopping for a surprise dinner while I prepared a chili relleno casserole and a fruit platter to take to Grandma’s for brunch. Uncle T made bacon, sausage and cinnamon rolls and we all had a wonderful time at Grandma’s.
After brunch we were off to get ready for flag football. Grandma joined us and we had a fun time watching the game, although we don’t quite understand the rules of “Flag football”, it was great to see the kids having such a good time. Of course it was the hottest game of the year and all of the adults got a bit too much sun.
Dinner was fantastic! Hubby cooked muscles in wine and garlic and mini lobster tails with butter and garlic..Delicious. I am sure our breath will be appreciated by all we talk with today. The Mister cleaned up the kitchen while I went down to L.O.L’s. She had fallen and cut her shin…she had gauze and duct tape on as a band aid, so I came home and retrieved our first aid kit to redo her injury.
The kids had a hard time winding down after their bath and shower. We’ve said this before…they are like puppies when they get out of the water.
Today Dad has a lot of work and I am enjoying my last day off by volunteering at school and watching a Mad Science program I set up as part of an enrichment program for the 3rd grade class. I hope it goes well.
Time to get breakfast going and lunches made…
God bless and enjoy your Monday
