We celebrated mother's day this weekend. Well, we celebrated grandmother's day this weekend. I was out of town for the real mother's day, so we tried to make it up to her. My mom helps out more than most mom's with everything. Seriously, she cleans my house. One week, she was busy and didn't come over, you should have seen what my house looked like that week. We won't go into how many times she has watched the kids so we could work, play, ride our bikes, go on a date, think straight or come over to help us paint, move, or anything we ask.
We heart my mom. She is the best. In most arguments there is a middle ground, but not here, my mom is the best. (with my MIL coming in a very close second (but only because she lives in another country or it would be much much closer)).
Anyway, Heifer was nice enough to celebrate my mom this weekend too by opening part of their global village. We didn't get inside to see what the hoopla was about, but we did get to see some of the festivities going on outside. We also go to see DAN ZANES. Peanut loved it and jammed out for about 3 songs before deciding she wanted to leave.
Which is fair because she is 3.
One of the really nice things about living is such a small city is that I knew a lot of people at the celebration. There were people from the daycare, there were people from the neighborhood, and just friends that I have met from other people. It is really comforting to walk into a large crowd like that and know people.
BabyP has decided to walk most of the time. He decided on Wednesday that these legs of his have some other purpose besides just being there to reach the counters. (seriously, one year olds shouldn't be able to reach counters)
School has turned into summer mode for the kids. Peanut has been bringing home some really cool artwork. She is making people now with the faces on heads and little arms and legs that poke out of the head. She also brought home this really funny “cookbook” with the kids telling in their own words how their parents make their special foods. Peanut's was pretty close. She chose mac and cheese, which is a little disappointing since she gets at least 5 hand made meals a week made with whole food ingredients.
