mother's day weekend

The kid's and I did the lake run on Saturday while matt was at class. Cris came to help me out and cheer Bethany and I on in the 5k, and Chuck and Lisa were there to cheer and help as well. Very thankful for all the extra hands.
Ready to get our race on!
All the kiddos in their tee's
Before (no after shot :)
They had a bouncy slide, bubbles, face painting and an arts and crafts table!
Right before the kid's dash! She did awesome!!

Then we had a birthday party that afternoon, so to say the least we were all ready for bed by 7. My gift to myself for mother's day was going to bed right after the kids...and yes, it was glorious! Ben went in for some snuggle time with daddy and brooklyn.

Sunday morning we woke up, went to church, grocery shopping (not glamorous, but it was so great to have matt there to help), then home for nap and matt whipped up the most amazing sandwich EVER. Smoked salmon and cream cheese with fresh herbs and red onion topped with a fried egg on a baguette roll. mmmmmmmm. seriously mouth watering.  

Then we had a low key dinner with family. Wonderful, wonderful weekend.
