I kinda knew that today would suck.  When you are up at 1am on Mother’s Day plunging the toilet and doing laundry and dishes you know your day won’t be getting much better.  I was right.  It could always be worse though so no complaining.

So I saved this post from yesterday and we are all going to pretend that this all happened today.  Okay!

CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL at the Quail Botanical Gardens

One step closer to getting a real pony

There was a dinosaur park. Flynn found a Brachiosaurus T-Rex (as he called it). Where did he learn that name? When did he get to the age of encouraging dinosaurs to eat leaves and climb up trees? When did he get that big?  It happened in the blink of an eye.

There, there nice dinosaur … good dinosaur …

Thank you Shannon for joining us.  We had a great time with you and the kids.

On Friday my wonderful husband kids sent me these.  Aren’t they beautiful.

I have 3 children whom I love more than anything and I am blessed to be their mother, despite them not realizing that today was Mother’s Day (until a cartoon reminded them) .

Now I’m going to get them ready for bed early and hop into bed myself with a glass of Bailey’s and a good book.

  1. Oh Tonya, I also had a crappy Mother’s day – well, for most of it. So do not feel alone – I can see you had a great Saturday. I swear, the chocolate fountain must be the best invention since baby monitors.
