happy mummsy day

Every year on mother's day Jeff manages to get a self timed family photo for me. There have been a few years that have been very difficult and hysterical...I think this was the year may have turned the "easy" corner. The participants were much more aware and willing. Accompanying the photos is always a homemade card that reads...this is YOUR crazy family. It's my favorite part of the day.


We also did some yard work. A beautiful over cast day to expand our vegetable garden. We are almost doubling it in size. On the side of our house was a lovely brick patio. Unfortunately it is on the south side with no shade, so we never sat there. Undeniably a perfect place for a vegetable garden. So brick by brick we pulled up the patio and replaced it with beautiful dirt which will later house our veggies for the summer. Seeing that it was previously a patio, it had a 4 inch layer of sand under the brick...what to do...what to do?
make a sand box!

Wishing every mama a wonderful day with your lovelies!
