Our Little Cottage

My Mother's Day & Why I Love Our Cable Box

Good Monday morning, friends!

How was your Mother's Day?

On Saturday, I recieved my first Mother's Day suprise which showed up in my mailbox!  I received a package from my friend Ky Mama!  I opened it up....it was the prettiest little apron I have ever seen!!  Handmade by her.  I just about cried when I saw it because it was such a sweet thing for her to do!  So I want to send out yet another Thank You just to Ky Mama!

On Sunday, when Danny woke up he made my coffee and made me breakfast {with help from Arlee}.  I just LOVE Danny's scrambled eggs....Mmmmm!!  And he just helped so much that day with the little guys!  Right there would have been THE best present in my book!

After breakfast, I got some more suprises!  Arlee brought me this really cute card that she had made and a Carmello bar {my all time FAV candy bar}!  She also had for me a hanging basket of impatients.  Frosty had me a pot of those large orange hybrid lilies.  Danny and the little boys had me another hanging basket with some of the prettiest pink flowers {I'm not sure exactly what they were called} 

Danny hung my hanging baskets outside on each side of our arbor that goes into the turtle garden!  They look SO pretty!  I just love my family so much!

We took ALL day to get ready to go out and visit with Danny's mom.  We hemmed and hawed around inbetween baths and showers!  We wrapped her present we got for her {a new dvd player that she's been wanting}.  We didn't have any plain or non-mother's day wrapping paper so I grabbed some birthday paper and turned it over to wrap the box.  Then the kids decorated the paper themselves!  {I think Sue was wanting to save the paper after she opened it!  LOL...she's so sweet!}

We left the house around 7pm...the day really did end up getting away from us.  It was very very chilly and rainy...I guess we really just wasn't anxious to go out into the yucky weather!  Sue really liked her present...we even gave her some movies to get her started with her new dvd!  She got me this big pot of panseys!  They are a light purple and white!  So pretty!  I got very spoiled with flowers this year!

We had a good time visiting with Danny's parents.  After we left and got back home, Danny made us some more coffee.  Then we all started to get ready for bed.

What a great day!

Here's a little back story....Last week, when we went shopping for plants for our garden, we ended up going a little farther out into the country.  Of course, we saw cows.  Well, Zach would start belting out this new song of his  "Cows, Chickens, Pigs".  It was so cute and so funny!  He LOVED singing this song.

Just the other evening I was in the kitchen just starting dinner.  I had put on Noggin to keep the little guys occupied while I was cooking.  Next thing I know, Zach is screaming, "Mama! Mama! The curious buddies!!"  I went to go and see what on Earth he was talking about....with Zach, you just never know!  LOL!

Well, right there, on Noggin the Curious Buddies was singing his song!  I had to pause it, and rewind it just a bit to get it back to the beginning.  Then I called for Danny to come and see it!

Once Danny was in the living room, I had to play it....if I hadn't, I think Zach would have exploded!  He was so excited!  I "heard" the song on the tv, but I don't think I "saw" too much of it...I was too busy watching Zach and Liam!  They were just too funny singing the song!

So, of course, with such a cute show from the two little guys what was the normal thing to do next?  We rewinded it to listen again!  And again!  I just love our cable box...it brings such joy to my children!  LOL!

Thanks for stopping in!  I wish everyone a great week!
