We had a great Mother's Day weekend. It started with a fun sleepover with Kanalu, the kids' cousin from Texas. Emily and Kanalu are visiting, and Jill and her family came down for the weekend, so all of us girls went to the Women's Run on Saturday morning. It is a 2- or 5-mile run for cancer research. Emily was brave, and in shape, so she ran the 5-mile. The rest of us walk/ran the 2-mile. There were 8,000 women this year, so it was packed. We were just glad that it was warmer than the previous days. There was no snow on the ground, and we could only see our breath for the first little bit. It warmed up nicely, and we enjoyed ourselves. It's always nice to laugh with the girls. We have such a good time together -- I'm going to miss it when they're gone!
The rest of the day was spent doing yard work, putting the trampoline back up, cleaning out the garage, etc. I woke up on Mother's Day to my annual breakfast in bed. I read my homemade card and am excited to use my new griddle that the kids got me. Pancakes for everyone!
We spent Mother's Day at church with Ben's mom, then lunch at their house, and dinner at my mom's house. It was a great weekend, and I'm so excited for the nicer weather coming our way.
The kids made a card for Grandma Jane. I asked her the same questions I usually do, and wrote their answers just how they said them. You can read it below the pictures.
