Happy Mother’s Day!! What an amazing Mother’s Day weekend I had!! The festivities started Saturday morning. Kayden’s school put on a Spring Festival, but the theme overwhelmingly was Happy Mother’s Day. Much like the Winter Festival, each class came up to perform two songs. Also, like the Winter Festival, the weather took a turn for the worse the morning of the event- inspite of weather forcasting partly sunny on Saturday all week long. So they piled us in the auditorium for the performance. And wouldn’t you know, the clouds parted and the rain was not an issue after all! Each class was super adorable, but Kayden and Mr. Gabe’s class took the cake. They first sang Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, which holds a special place in my heart. My grandma Minnie would put Neil Diamond (cassette tape!) on literally EVERY time we got in her blue Cadillac. Every time I hear Neil Diamond, I think of her. So the irony that that was the song they sang for Mother’s Day was not lost on me! The second song they sang was one I had never heard. It was a Mother’s Day song and I immediately got emotional and only half way through the song did I think to record it. Love Love Loved it!! After the performance we took the girls to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate a job well done. We haven’t been there since Kloey was an infant and she has been on us to take her for a LONG time now. So we saw the opportunity and took it! We all had a good time! After Chuck E. Cheese we went over to Mimi and Gampy’s for dinner to celebrate the moms. We had a great time and even introduced them to adult-sized Jenga!! Fun times!!

I’m not sure if these videos will work, but it’s worth a try because they are pretty cute!

On Sunday, Mother’s Day, we went out to breakfast first thing in the morning. We went to one of our old faves- Broken Yolk. We use to go there all of the time when we were dating in college. So we took a nice drive and hit up the Broken Yolk Encinitas. After breakfast we came home and hung out until Scotty’s family came over for a little celebration. We had a really relaxed and enjoyable time just hanging out and having some good laughs. All in all, it was a great Mother’s Day weekend!! Thanks family for making it so special!!

Edit:

I went to school today and found this in Kayden’s cubby. It’s pretty cute, so I had to add it to the blog!
