Happy Mother's Day! We had a fun weekend celebrating, well, ME:) Kidding. That wasn't the whole weekend. Saturday, we went to the RAYS game. Rodney came along for some Family Fun, and this is pretty much how he enjoyed the game: playing tetris on his phone. "A" for effort. But the rest of the fam enjoyed the game... complete with a walk off Evan Home Run.
Next day... Mother's Day! I had to get up super early for Worship Team at church. My little kiddies left a few gifts out for me. Well, actually, they get up at the crack of dawn (still) and were dancing around me as I checked out the stuff. I love that they got me stuff they know I love! Ben's contribution was the laundry paraphernalia. We all know I love laundry:) For real. And Almond Joy candy. And he made me a star. Out of post its. And Carly made me a Slip Proof hanger (lets ignore the fact that she cut up one of her tshirts to make it...) and cleverly attached 2 bags of Lindt Truffles to it. My kids pay attention to my favorites:)
Then, there was Worship stuff for church. Rochel was sick. As was the other singer, Kyle. So, I was kind of on my own. Oh boy. Anyways, ROCHEL, since there were 2 extra stands, I made the Coffee Stand we've been needing for months. Also, note the EXTRA LARGE coffee... that was a late game the night before! Anyways, this rehearsal was pretty much a disaster, which just reminds me that we get no where on our own volition, only with God. I know that I need reminders that worshipping God isn't about perfection, but about the perfection of our heart. Perfected by Him.
And He so often asks more of us than we are willing to give on our own. Much more than we think we are capable of.
We had a QUIET lunch at home... basil, tomato, and mozarella panini's. Me and Ben's favorites! This is the basil plant I have successfully not killed for the past 18 days. Purchased at Publix for $3.99. I'm about to repot it, so I'm certain it's days are numbered. Also, on the left, the Super Chili plant Ryan bought for me... Ben and I are hoping it gets Super Hot. It's already sprouted 2 new peppers in addition to the 2 that were already there when purchased. Also, soon to be repotted. What we really want are some of the pepper bushes my grandparents used to have around their house in Louisiana. So, my Dad needs to get home so he can get on that for me.
The remainder of my Mother's Day involved a delightful NAP, and Chinese Take Out from a new place, which was pretty good... and we watched the Cathedral DVD Ben got for Christmas from Grandma. We all loved it. He explained it all to us, you know, along with the Nova guy. Oh, and they cleaned the house while I was napping. So, pretty excellent day.
One last picture, because it's so super cute: Ryan sent this to me this morning... It's the tree outside his school with 2 of my Mother's Boys. Probably looking for some cat food.
