Happy Mother's Day!

I spent this Mother's Day quietly, (as quietly as possible with a rambunctious 2-year-old) with Jon and Mackenzie. We stayed home and played all day. I so enjoy days like this, since they don't happen often. Our 7th anniversary is tomorrow, so this weekend was extra special. Saturday night, I was banished to the couch (read: napping!) while my super-sweet husband did the grocery shopping and the putting away of the groceries. My super-sweet daughter came running from the kitchen, hollering (waking me up) "Mommy, I got something-a-prize (surprise) for you---and it's flowers!!!!". Mackenzie came barrelling around the couch, hidden by the blooms of the beautiful mums. I hope every mom had as good a Mother's Day as I did.

Chalk drawings...

Mackenzie and I spent most of Saturday drawing on the driveway. She tried to "do like Mary Poppins, Mommy!" and jump into the art.

Such a sad little girl, when her imagination comes up against a brick wall, I mean, concrete driveway.

Circus and Carnival 2008

The 3 of us went to the 2008 Yaraab Shrine Circus. The actual circus wasn't much to be impressed with - our child who constantly "plays circus" was extremely bored. We left after the first 3 acts, which lasted close to an hour. We did enjoy the horses, which I called Angel Horses, and Jon promptly corrected me--they're Pegasus horses. Upon leaving the circus rings, Mackenzie asked to go ride the camel. Then the ponies. She had so much fun, we hated to leave. I rode the big slide with the little munchkin. I hadn't done that since I was a kid, and I thought I was going to have a heart attack! I'm not a fan of heights anyway, plus the speed was incredible. I'll try to post the video that Jon took later.
