This past Sunday was a big day for us...of course it was Mother's Day, but it was also Cole's birthday! The kids must have felt the excitement in the air because they gave us the extra special gift of being up and ready to go super early. Zoe woke up first around 4:30 with a stuffy nose and was having a difficult time sleeping. After saline and suction, we did something we almost never do which is pulled her into bed with us to try to help her sleep. She was very happy to snuggle with daddy and eventually went back to sleep. However, the wild men then woke up sometime before 7:00 and came running over to our room to wish daddy "happy birthday" and mommy "happy mothers day." Of course they decided to join the three of us in bed for some morning snuggles rather than go back to their lonely beds.
It was hard to be irritated with them while they were being so sweet and snuggly.
Once we decided to get out of bed, the boys said they wanted to get some special pastries for the special day and some flowers for me! Cameron and Harrison both picked out flowers for me at the flower market and also gave me gifts that they made at school for Mother's Day.
After enjoying our breakfast, we went to the open house at the Gent Fire Station with some new friends.

The boys had so much fun looking at all the fire trucks, playing in the bounce houses, taking a ride in a fire truck, and playing on the playground. It was a beautiful and fun day!

After a busy and stressful week, it was just the kind of day we needed. I felt special and loved by my family and, even though we did pretty much nothing for Cole's birthday (oops!!), I think he enjoyed the day as well. I feel very thankful for the wonderful children and husband God has given me!
