Mother's Day. Due to pre-church meetings we didn't get our obligatory Mother's Day picture in the morning. Even though I had to force them to take a photo with me, these two are my favorites. I'm grateful to be their mom. They light up my life and make me want to be a better person.
On Monday we met up with some friends in downtown Overland Park. The kids splashed in the water and I got to visit with the other moms. Lauren was fascinated by the water, but was scared to actually go in. It was a gorgeous day and I look forward to many more like it this summer.
My dad spent some time in Idaho this past week spending time with his sick sister. When he would go out and visit the sheep he would facetime with us so we could see them too. Lauren LOVED seeing the sheep on my phone, and "baahhhed" at my phone for a few days so she could see more.
The kids were in silly moods while we went grocery shopping last week. The fingers-in-the-mouth is now Will's default pose, and Lauren is working on perfecting her duck face. It is worth noting that after a grumpy afternoon and a refusal to nap, Will fell asleep when we were less than a mile from home. He truly crashed, and it took me a good half hour to get him to wake up.
Thursday I was doing a deeper clean of our dining room, so I moved the chairs into the kitchen. Will decided he was going to pretend he was on an airplane and had great fun being the captain while I vacuumed and dusted.
We took a stroll Friday evening after dinner. Will found a huge stick in a neighbor's yard, and proceeded to carry it around the block. I think he said it was a trombone. Lauren stretched out in the stroller because it was so hot and humid.
It was another hot and humid day Saturday, so naturally we decided to spend the afternoon outdoors at the Turkey Creek Festival in Merriam. Among the many fun activites we did, we went on a ten minute paddle boat ride. Will was really good. Lauren...apparently has a fear of the open water. It was a fun afternoon, even if we were all dripping with sweat by the time we left.

That was cute that your dad would show them the sheep! What a good grandpa!
Love that picture of Lauren in the fountain. Sending well wishes for your Aunt.
I too love the picture for May 13th. I always love to read your blog although I rarely have anything to comment.
