Muffins for Moms

May 4th-May 11th
Better late than never. I'm a little behind with the blog again....

Thursday, May 7th, was muffins for moms at Brenna and Brody's preschool. All of the kids stood up in front and sang three songs. Then we ate muffins and had time to play. Brenna and Brody were very excited to see me at their school! I had tears in my eyes before they even started to sing. I decided I just need to wear some dark sunglasses so I can let the tears flow.Brenna was watching one of the Pastors talk.

Brenna and Brody kept hugging my arm and giving me kisses the entire time I was there. I definitely felt wanted. :)

Afterwards, I dropped them back of at Carrie's and I had to go back to work. Brenna and Brody weren't too upset that I was leaving as the Delong band, which they love listening to, was practicing over by Carrie's house. I asked Carrie to take a picture of the kids and I since I rarely get a picture with my children. I tried to get Carrie, Brenna and Brody running to watch the band but only got a picture of the band.

Thursday evening was kindergarten orientation at Sherman. I stayed to help out and the kids went to Grandma Merri's. I even got to sneak in a quick dinner at Cancun with Shauna and Cindy afterwards. The kids had fun riding their bikes at Grandma Merri's.

Thursday night, Brody had a fever in the middle of the night and started with a cough. On Friday when I picked him up from daycare, he was lethargic and had a fever. His fever finally broke Saturday but he ended up throwing up three times Sunday morning. We think he threw up from the cough, not from the flu. Hopefully we are due for a long healthy stretch now. I think Brody has had this same virus three times in the past three months.

Saturday, Steve took Brenna and Brody to Eau Claire to get a Mother's Day present. I went with Sarah to get a pedicure and run some other errands. I did way more shopping than I originally intended to, but when I get out without children that tends to happen! It was a fun morning.

Brenna and I joined Nana and Papa at the Golf Club for a Mother's Day lunch on Sunday. Brody stayed home with Dad to recuperate. Even with Brody sick, I still had a nice Mother's Day! Steve had taken Brenna and Brody shopping for Mother's Day gift on Saturday. They were quite the shoppers and surprised me with a nice table/chair set for our deck, sandals (slip on Nikes so I quit wearing Steve's) and perfume. I told Brenna and Brody that they are the best gift!

On Monday, we went to Sports Clips to get haircuts. Brody's hair was getting very long. He kept saying, "I need a bad haircut." On your first visit, you get upgraded to MVP, which basically means you get a shampoo, warm towels, and a massage. Both Brenna and Brody said they wanted the MVP treatment and they both liked it! I was jealous watching them get pampered. :) Brenna had two ticks in her hair. Surprisingly, she did not freak out.

Summer vacation is coming up quickly. Yeah! I can't believe I will be able to actually see my children more often in less than one month!
