This year Mother's Day ended up a little crazy at our house! The kids and Jeff made me breakfast in bed followed with the cute cards/letters they make at school for me (I have to say this is probably the best part of Mother's Day for me!) Jeff left to take his mom out to brunch, which was my idea. So, I knew I would be alone for a good part of the day.
After he left it seems everything fell apart! I couldn't get anyone to help, so that started lots of yelling on my part. Several fights broke out - older kids fighting with younger ones (still don't understand that). Kate got in the nail polish, she did get most her toes but also decided her clothes needed a coat too. I decided to take a shower with my door locked to get some peace - no such luck! Two of my children kicked their feet and hands on the door the entire time!!! Church alone with five kids didn't go any better either.
Once Jeff made it home and we were off to the cemetery things started to look up! We had a great time walking around the cemetery and the kids love to hear stories/memories of their other Grandma Bills. We even saw a para glider come down off the mountain and watched him land. After we headed to Grandpa and Grandma Bills' house for the most yummy dinner and dessert! The kids absolutely love being at their Grandparents house and love having their cousins there as well. It was so nice to relax and enjoying being with family which ended up making Mother's Day great!
