Mother's Day Weekend

Yes, I know we are way past this, but I am going to start with this weekend and then move forward...

I had a fantastic Mother's Day Weekend.  It started that Friday when we picked up Bella from school in Pap-Pap's truck.  Vince and I traded cars with him for 2 reasons, 1 so we could go to IKEA to get Bella a new bed, and 2 so Vince could get some truckloads of mulch this weekend from the recycling center.  After school, we went straight to Ikea, had dinner and then picked out B-bo's new bed.  She chose a black metal daybed that we can eventually put a trundle underneath.  Only thing, we forgot to buy the slats for it that night, so we used the box spring with the twin mattress for the time being which made her bed really high up.  Once it was time for bed, and we had her all settled in, she looked so tiny under her comforter, just a little head with crazy hair sunken into her pillow was visible.

Now on to Saturday... While Vince got ready to head to the recycling center for his first load of mulch, B-bo and I got dressed and first we went to Ikea to get her some slats for her bed, and then we went to Build-a-Bear.  I promised to take her during Spring Break, but that never happened because I had to help my Mom with my Grandmother in Cordele.  She chose an adorable little lamb that she named Livia.  After a quick trip to the Lego store, we had lunch at the food court and then took a ride on the merry-go-round before heading back to the car to go home.  When we got home, Vince was working on his second load of mulch and I helped him finish up.  He ended up doing 3 truckloads, and our backyard just keeps looking better and better!

Sunday... Happy Mother's Day!  Vince cooked me a yummy breakfast of scrambled eggs, cheese grits, bacon and biscuits...delicious!  Since I was such a good Mom this year, they surprised me with a Nook Color!  best.present.ever!  I downloaded the Hunger Games Series immediately, but waited to start until I left for Hattiesburg on Wednesday.  After lunch, Vince took Bella to the Nature Museum so that I could have a little quiet time to do whatever I liked.  I watched a little tv and messed around with my Nook.  That thing is so cool :)

Now, I must take a break and head to Noodle Night.  Once I return, I will launch into everything about my trip to Mississippi to visit Papa.
