Yesterday was a busy day. Jordan let me sleep in and when I got up, he and the boys were dancing to Darius Rucker and making scrambled eggs and toast. Melt a woman's heart, huh?
We went to Home Depot and got a price estimate for the windows that we want to replace, and then we bought the supplies that we needed to build our raised garden. On the way home, we stopped for lunch at our favorite outdoor eatery and enjoyed some sunshine and delicious food. When we got home, Mason went down for his nap and Jordan and Gavin got to work building our garden beds. It was a ton of hard work, but Jordan was able to get the beds constructed and the ground tilled all while Mason napped!
520 lbs of soil later, our new garden bed was finished and ready for planting. It was a great day.
This morning, Jordan made me French toast for breakfast. It was so yummy. The cinnamon smell filled the house, and Gavin went back for seconds. He doesn't do that when I make French toast! After we were dressed for the day, we went and used a gift card and bonus coupon to get the boys a brand new water table. After a long nap, we spent the afternoon outside in the yard, playing with the water table, swinging on the swing set and planting our garden. It was a perfect afternoon!
After a quick bath and dinner (which was a simple pizza, courtesy - again - of Jordan!), we finished our day by going out for ice cream. Mason had his first ever ice cream cone! He bit the bottom off first, of course.
Here are a few pictures from our day:

All in all, my Mother's Day was idyllic. It wasn't anything fancy or spectactular, but I got to spend the day with the people that I love most in this world, and that is a good day for me!
To all of the moms out there: I hope you had a wonderful day!
