Mother's Day Weekend

It was a lovely Mother's Day Weekend.  Maddie, Grandma and I spent it at the spa getting our nails done.  This was Maddie's first time and the nail tech was so impressed with how still and non-squirmy she managed to be.  Grandma could have done without the 8am start time; but this is wedding/prom season after all (next year I'll plan a little more in advance)!

Enjoying the Spa!

 

 

Meanwhile, the boys (Aidan, Grandpa & Kurt) made an appearance at the Mansfield town fishing derby.  Aidan was one of the youngest there and Grandpa & Daddy were impressed with how he stuck with it for more than an hour before he got a bit restless.  Lots of nibbles, but unfortunately no official catches.  Aidan suggested that perhaps the fish would like a food tastier than worms!

 



 

Our handsome fisherman!

 

 

Better luck next year!!!!

 

With his Pa!

Post soccer game in the pouring rain, we capped off the day with our first family "bonfire" (as the twins like to call it).  They were quite enamored with the fire and thoroughly enjoyed the marshmallow part (M enjoys roasting and A enjoys eating - so yet another activity where they are a perfect match)!

Marshmallow time!

 

So far this spring/summer is shaping up to be a good one.  Finally, finally we are reaping the benefits of all of our hard work and Maddie & Aidan are more independent.  We actually get to sit down for a few blissful minutes and enjoy the outdoors (until someone needs a snack that is)!

 

No photos to share, but we did finish off the weekend with a visit to Mimi & Buppy.  The kids love to scoot around their neighborhood.  The fresh pavement is a huge plus when it comes to scooting.

 

Now we have to start planning for Father's Day...(though Maddie did ask the other day when it will be Kids' Day...um...pretty much always)!
