We had a very nice Mother’s day. It started out as any Sunday, cleaning and shopping.
Then I was off to play with the Yarrrn Club at InsaniTea!! I worked on cross stitch, as it is something I can do left handed.
At 4pm, when the fiber fun was over, Doug and the girls showed up. We had a little tea party. The Yummy Berry tea that Ingred served up was, well, YUMMY!!!! I had to buy some to bring home. The girls played the little bongo drums and a guitar and danced around between cups. It was a lovely time.
Then the four of us walked around a bit. It was a gorgeous day! Eventually we stopped and had a wonderful outdoor dinner at Raymond’s. They have a wonderful menu with both vegetarian and meat dishes. I have to remember them next time I have veggie guests!
Finally we crossed the street and grabbed some dessert to go from Cupcakes Galore. Kyla got an Elmo cupcake, and Vada got Hello Kitty.
They are my girls, alright. The first thing they did was eat the eyes. Mmmm.
Yummy! Elmo eyeballs.
Yum yum yum!!
Cupcake zombie Kyla.
Vada was slightly neater.
It was a great day!
The next morning, I let Vada “help” with some cross stitch. She then taught Kyla.
Makes a crafty mommy proud!
This morning I thought the girls might like a blanket fort.
That’s Kyla’s blanket on the ground and Vada’s blanket up above. The chevron blanket was made by my Nana.
It made me so happy to see the girls playing under a blanket made by their Great Great Grandmother. They have no idea the amount of love surrounding them with that fort.
When lunchtime approached, I made the girls a picnic of peanut butter and jelly roll ups, and fruit and nut mix. They sat in the fort, ate lunch, and watched retro Strawberry Shortcake cartoons.
Now they are napping peacefully. Mommy time!!!
