The morning started with the boys bringing me a gift. A picture frame. I love it because they picked it out for me, but it is UGLY. ;)
To fill the frame we took this picture.
The girls gave me the cowboy hat, that Timi thoroughly enjoyed wearing. (Sorry to ruin the surprise Glorieta!)
To "give me a break" the girls made lunch (under the supervision of the guys). We enjoyed PBJ, ramen noodles and watermelon.
We spent the afternoon in our theme park (i.e. the backyard). Jenean, look at those sunflowers girl!
The girls and little boys filtered back one by one and they just squished more into the pools.
The classic who-can-hold-their-breath-for-the-longest contest.
Eli runs the slip-and-slide.
Lili wasn't a very graceful slider as she continually ended up in the grass or in uncomfortable positions.
Diego poses for a picture while the girls yell, "Diego, move, it is our turn!"
Drying off on the swingset
Bill came into the kitchen and told me to go pick my present out of the bodega, "about 10 things." I rummaged around and then he took the gifts out for the girls to put in a box that they had written on and painted to match my room.
Holding the sacred box stuffed with specially chosen goodies...from myself. At least I got all my favorites.
Psalm 68:5-6a
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains:

ps, we're all going through Carissa withdrawal but realize she will also be back clicking her camera soon:)
Happy Mother's Day Ames! (Why does it feel so weird to wish that to you?) You've learned bunches and bunches (of never ending galaxies) about being a Mom this past year! "Your kids" are adorable!
I love you,
Mom
