5.10.2010::awesome

monday was just a really great day. river and i picked flower up from preschool and then met kris for lunch. we took her out for her birthday! we went to blimpie's.
first flower gave her the gift she picked out and bought. she new kris liked elephants and then got so excited when there was a flower on the elephant. she said, 'she will always know it's from me because the elephant has a flower!' she's so cute. she was so excited to give it to her.
(this is the same place she got my mother's day necklace. she chose one out for herself as well.)
this cute butterfly is hers.
my friends sara started a business. in an effort to support her and give kris something really unique, i bought her some spa cupcakes. they are so cute and came with a mask and shower gel.
there was four of these adorable wash cloth cupcakes inside. it's hard to tell but the center is pink, the outside orange and the ribbon pink. kris just recently repainted her bathroom orange so i was hoping they'd look cute in there.
i also added a chocolate bar and a book.
the book is called she and when i saw it on amazon it just reminded me of kris. here are a couple of pages from the book.



and my favorite pages, which i don't have a photo of, say, "she loved life, and it loved her back" and "she must be something special. She is. Celebrate her." She is certainly special to me!
we enjoyed lunch very much!
when we got home we all took naps.
flower fell asleep on the chair in our room.
i fell asleep snuggled next to kg.
i woke up after an hour. river slept for 3 and flower and kg slept for 2!
it was such a perfect afternoon with the windows open and the fresh rainy air coming in.

mother's day

my mother's day was perfect. i was woken up with my protein shake and some gifts.
kg gave me a gift card to downeast. :)
flower gave me this necklace that she chose out and paid for herself.
and they all gave me this blender which i asked for because i've needed it a lot lately.
at church the ladies were given a beautiful flower and chocolate bar. plus flower gave me two chocolate covered oreo suckers.
a few days prior flower made me this adorable potted plant. she painted it herself and the butterfly is her hand prints. she came running out of preschool yelling,"happy mother's day mom! you're the best!"

that evening we went to my brother's house to celebrate my mom. we gave her a stepping stone with river's foot prints and name to add to the collection of the rest of her grandkids in the front garden. when we made them we tried to do her hand prints but river freaked out! she hated having that on her hands. the feet turned out cute too.
then we went to kg's parents to celebrate his mom. we also gave her a river stepping stone since she has one for flower in her front garden.
it was a really great day. i'm happy to be a mom to the two best girls. and i'm especially grateful for my mom and kg's mom. they are both incredible women who do so much for us!

goodsell's live by us now!

the goodsell's live up the hill from us now. it's been kind of fun. we've seen them a few more times than usual and gone to the park.
i've been over to their house once with the family. they have a balcony right above the trampoline that the kids love to jump from.






fi'm glad they are closer!

Let's kick it.

can you dig it?
