A Sunday Funday

Mother's Day has always been a celebration of our moms and this year was no different, except it was a VERY special day for me as well!  Mark and the kids made my weekend amazing.  I got done with my long run on Saturday morning and was surprised with a pedi and mani with my daughter.  So off we went to spend time together.  She is such a fun girl to hang with and I'm so thankful to have a daughter.  She sat and got her nails and toes done all while telling the ladies how hard it is to have brothers. 

But I keep reminding her how boring our lives would be without our guys.  They warm our hearts everyday.

They all participated in a craft for the grandmothers-I'm missing Mack's picture of him holding a heart with his gorgeous smile.

We spent the day relaxing and then our family arrived.  The kids were so excited to share the gifts with Mum and Nanny.

We absolutely lucked out because my sister-in-law and brother were driving back from her sister's wedding and they decided to come join us as well.

The boys built me my new extended garden.  I have now planted: Brussels sprouts, lettuce, herbs, peppers, squash, cucumbers, and every kind of tomatoes.  Mark just planted sweet corn as well! AND our strawberries from last year are huge.

Of course we cooked a feast!

The entire day was spent outside.

Papa did what I don't enjoy...

Greta is so fun!  She is dressed up and singing the ENTIRE song of frozen.  It seems to run in the family since we got the cutest video of Ireland doing it too!

Nanny was there as well and we are even more thrilled we got this time with her since our Papa H. has been sick and in the hospital.  I am glad we had her there with us before the bad hit.

 

It was more of a Sunday Funday.  I enjoyed myself so much this year and want it to be like this every year!  Mark you really our did yourself!

Fluttering Duckling

The night before all our excitement with Mack, our Avery put on a show!

 

We had to master the perfect bun, dab a little makeup on, and get her to the studio Friday night. 

 

She was a duckling in Peter in the Wolf.  She looked so cute in her outfit and loved spending time with her BFF-Annabelle

Back stage was exciting and when it was time for me to go, she said bye and hung out with her friends.

We love these two!

At the last minute her costume busted-so the duck (a young girl) asked if she could sew it up for her.  I'm so impressed with these dancers.  They are great role models and amazing dancers.

Mum and Nanny got the only seats in the family.  That came with the responsibilities of holding both boys:)  My dad was standing behind and the rest of the Watson family was...

on the floor scrunched up.  I don't think they anticipated that many people!

Cohan and Ireland came to watch with the Aunts and Uncles. 

After some time, Avery made her entrance.

She did great and was on point with the routine!

I thought she would be very shy, but she didn't mind being on stage.

 

This was a short clip of the show and the big show is in June-I'm not sure if she can do it since my brain was out of sorts and I signed her up for a camp at the zoo...I don't think she will be too disappointed though since she wants to take a break from dance.  Our next stop is RELAXING this summer and taking it easy and then she can decide what's next.  It was fun seeing her in action!

Dump Truck Fun

Mark came to the kids school to talk about his career. The kids dressed up what they wanted to be-Avery was a teacher and Mack was a doctor. Then, daddy showed up with his dump truck!! He also came along with Mr. Cooper (a friend) who brought a concrete truck.  To make it even more exciting, daddy filled the dump truck with sand and dumped it in the sandbox!!!

It was fun getting to be with them during this experience! One of the benefits of going to my school! Happy Sunday!
