The Best Mother's Day 2009

I had the best Mother's Day yet and we celebrated all weekend long. For Mother's Day Ward got me a appointment at my favorite hair place in Greer, SC to get a cut and color. We went to Anderson to spend the night with Ward's Mom Fri night and got to go out to a nice Dinner while Nana kept the kids. I left early Saturday kid free to get my hair done. We came back to Columbia Saturday afternoon and had a cookout with my Mom and family. Sunday we all went to church and then off to the lake for a boat ride. It was a wonderful weekend. Sallie and Anna made me a precious platter for Mother's Day and I will post a picture of it. I love it!!! The kids made their Nana a apron and their Peppy a little tote bag with their hands and paint. I will post pictures of their artistic abilities. I tell you what, the painting part of these gifts almost sent me over the edge with Sallie. She just wanted to paint everywhere and pour paint in bowls and she painted some on the carpet on the porch. We put the paint away for a while. I am so thankful for my precious girls and they made my Mother's Day so special. I am also so thankful for my Mom who made "me" possible. She has taught me so much and continues to teach me things everyday even when I don't want to listen. I am thankful for Ward's Mom who made him a wonderful husband and father. I am so thankful for my sister who is a wonderful Mother and has taught me the ropes of motherhood. Motherhood is flying by and I want it to slow down. It seems like my very first Mother's Day was just yesterday.
