Friday night was so much fun! The guys went golfing in the afternoon. The ladies and the kiddos came over while we waited for them to finish golfing. The kids loved playing together. They even got a chance to play outside, which is a special treat with this crazy Chicago weather.

A weekend of celebrations
Last Friday we kicked off a fun weekend with a special celebration. One of my dearest friends is getting married next month. She though Randy and I were taking her and Mike to dinner to celebrate when in fact all 10 of the girls and their men were a part of the celebration.
Congrats Mike & Gira!
The boys spent the night at my parents Friday so we could enjoy a night out. Saturday morning it was time to move on to the next celebration... Daddy's b-day. When I picked the boys up at my parents they were working on a special b-day crown for Randy.
How cute is this?!?!?
Quintin's last day of preschool
It seems like we went from winter to summer on Q's last day of school. Fortunately it meant the kids could go out and enjoy their field day, unfortunately it meant they were going to be HOT AND SWEATY!
The parents were invited to come back early to enjoy the end of their last day. The kids were in desperate need of some water!

The joys of motherhood...
So many aspects of motherhood are exhausting and challenging, but it is events like this that fill a mom's heart with an unimaginable amount of fulfilment. Wednesday morning was the Mother's Day program at Quintin's school. We had a chaotic morning because Randy had an early morning at work so I was left scrambling to get out of the house early enough to drop off Zachary at Auntie Nessa's. Thanks so much Vanessa for saving the day!!!
When the program started I forgot about all the madness of the morning and was a relaxed and PROUD Mama!
Here they come....
He was so excited to preform for me, he just kept watching to make sure I was watching!
There was also a card with a beautiful poem inside. I couldn't hold back the emotions when I read it as it is a wonderful reminder. It is hanging front and center on my refrigerator and I plan to read it daily!
Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave dirty marks
On Furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing
I'll be grown up some day
And all those little dirty marks
Will all have gone away
As I grow, I'll change a lot
The years will fly right by
You'll wonder how I grew so quick
When and where and why?
I may be still very small
But this I'd like to say
I love you very, very BIG
Happy Mother's Day
