Another from the "old news, but the photos are too good not to share" category...
Mother's Day was last Sunday. Less than a week ago, but it seems much longer. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the number of times I've yelled "Enough!" to quiet my two perfect children who love to antagonize each other.
But back to last Sunday, when the sun was shining and everyone was smiling. Here's Grandma Elouise with her brood. I think she had just volunteered to babysit the youngest four. Or maybe not.
The kids were very excited to visit Grandpa David and Grandma Elouise (and Dudley, too, though he wasn't allowed to come to the restaurant where we'd all gone for lunch), who had finally ventured back north after a winter in Florida.
Hugs for cousin Zane when it was time to leave...
Earlier, we'd gathered for lunch and gift/card openings. Zane was happy to help Grandma shred the wrapping paper.
AJ, meanwhile, was thrilled to escape the confines of the corner booth, crawling under the table to play with cousin Finn...
... who was totally fascinated by his bigger cousin Jonathon.
AJ wasn't the only one playing musical chairs. Zane shifted over to check out Sydney's Squinkies toy. I still don't understand the appeal for kids of these mini rubber figurines and clear plastic. What appeals to me is that they're relatively inexpensive and keep them busy for a long time.
Funny how Mothers Day still ends up being about the kids. Probably because they're cuter.
