*wild flowers picked from our property just for me!*
It took my wonderful husband to remind me that this is my first mother's day as a mom of 5. I don't know why but I hadn't even thought about it. I have a hard time taking and accepting things given to me. It's not that I don't like it, or sometimes feel like I deserve it, I have NEVER been good at taking nice gestures given to me. So with that being said, I think I enjoyed the day..haha..my kids make it all worth while.
Sunday started off with a heated debate about my husbands goofy looking mustache that I LOATHE. Why or how can facial hair light such a fury inside me? You think it's funny and trust me if you would have seen this you would have laughed. He hadn't shaved in 2 weeks and looked like Nacho Libre or The Pink Panther
mixed. Ridiculous. I finally won that fight and it was shaved for the evening service. You have to know my onry husband to understand this moment.
The afternoon I fixed a home cooked meal. On mother's day?! Yes, on mother's day. I did this for easter too. Just for my family. I love to get to set the table and have us all sit over some home cooked goodness. Plus, the Dave Ramsey bug has bit me hard. I bought and read his book 2 years ago but with the adoption and building a new home, it was out the window. Now I feel like I can focus on the our payments and pay down the debt. I'm so excited about this I don't want to go out to eat! That's saying something.
The kids each hand made me something and that is all I could ever want.
So after shaving a "stash", eating at home, and handcrafted gifts...I am one thankful woman!
Here's some photos from Easter I've been wanting to share:

Cute picture! Your kids are adorable. I know what you mean about the mustache, even though I didn't see it, my husband and I had the same 'talk' about the 'beard' he was trying to grow. Lol. Men!
The kids are beautiful!
I wish you took a before pic of your hubby's stash!....
I "love" Dave Ramsey - until he's whispering in my ear that I need to behave! He has helped us sooooo much. I do like the simpler life of eating in and enjoying less expensive activities that can be distracting!
Good to hear from you!
Beautiful! :)
