Woke up to 3 excited kiddos, ready and rearing to give me presents. Not a bad way to start the day.
I was so so blessed. Not only did I receive gifts but my daughter wrote a song for me which made us cry together, my other daughter wrote her ABC for me and shared the many things she loves about me, and my son drew a picture of a house and trees and gave it to me with a great big hug. Thank you for the best Mother's Day ever.

I just had to put my present into good use this morning. It was a French Rolling pin made in Maine that go my cinnamon rolls rolled to perfection. I love this kitchen gizmo.
After church it was time to surprise my mom with her mother's day gift. I tried to give her the day off from working but she insisted that there was "too much work to be done." So instead of taking it easy, we went to work.
This day was all about...
Door bells and electrical. Thank you Denise again for your help.

Installing Baseboards. Yes, we picked them and they look great.
What a blessing. It's all coming together.

My son's room done. We went with a 4 inch base board. It's the smallest room in the house so he need something smaller. (Paint is sandcastle with 25% more color)

My room and the entire house will be done in these baseboards. They are 5 1/4" wide, and they are my favorite.
Now if I could just decided on the color for the room. LOL
My mom was right. There is sooo much work to be done. The great thing is that my brother showed up to help. Thanks Uncle Brad.

The day became a whole family affair.
My dad showed up to remove some brush and sticks. He always makes it fun for the kiddos. They were jumping up and down in the truck to smoosh them down. Fun Times.

Then daddy was mowing the lawn. The kids loved to watch him.
While that was going on the outside, there was more work on the inside.

More floor removal, I was priming the bathroom for painting, and then had time of clean up with my mommy.
That evening, I slipped out of the house and went to my grandmother's house to spend Mother's Day with her. She is so beautiful and gracious and loving.
I can't believe she will be 89 this year, it just doesn't seem possible.

We started talking about Billy Graham being 98 this year then Dad reminds her of her birthday, June 14, 1927.
Dad then says she is going to be "89" this year. She immediately says, "No it doesn't" and laughs.
We all started laughing. She doesn't like us to talk about her age. Cute
Blessings.
