Mother's Day

We had a lovely Mother's Day. Molly was kind enough to wake me up early (around 6) so that she could nurse, and then we went for a long walk because I wasn't able to go back to sleep. Then we made pancakes, which we ate with strawberries we'd picked the day before.
Hayden was a great strawberry picker. She dutifully asked if each berry was okay, and regularly reported how many she had in her bucket!
Eliza was better at eating than picking. But that is an important job when many of the strawberries have a tiny bit of water damage - too soft to pick and save, but perfect for eating right away!

Then for lunch we had a fun picnic at the park, followed by free yogurt (for mom's) at TCBY. Even Grandma and Popop joined us for that! Eliza and Hayden both got the rainbow vanilla with ridiculous amounts of color in it.

my favorite crew at the park!

Hayden took this picture, capturing a daily occurring, but seldom photographed Molly and me pose.

ice cream face!

more ice cream face!

Molly enjoyed her spoon for lunch.

 After a lovely dinner of pasta, sausage and veggies (trying to use up CSA veggies) that Jason prepared while I played Wii with the kids (which I never get to do!), we had a little photo op on the back deck, in the drizzle. I love my girls!



Happy Mother's Day!

What terrific pictures of a wonderful day for a most deserving Mom! Molly is going to have to get her act together for future Mother's Days, though, as it is not good to start the day by waking mom early! Your pictures do not do justice to the rainbow of color around Hayden's and Eliza's mouths while eating the frozen yogurt.
Love,
Popop
