Mother’s Day Weekend

11 May

I got my super nice totally unexpected Mother’s Day gift earlier this week when Verizon accidentally activated my brand new iPhone and thus making my current iPhone inoperable. A very confused Verizon customer service rep thought I was truly clueless when I explained there was no iPhone 5 on my account, I just wanted my iPhone 4 to make calls.

We decided to head to Shlagel Farms today to meet up with Mom, Leigh and Chip to pick strawberries and it was perfect timing. The weather was a little overcast but no rain spoiled our trip. We got lots of berries and even ran into some friends.

Miss H remembered the swing set from last year and was quick to meet a friend to join her on the double swing. They got it really high!

Speaking of Miss S- she does not like the vacuum.

But she does like empty plastic bottles.

After all this excitement, we decided to head to a Japanese Steakhouse not far from our house. Miss H loves ‘food as entertainment’ and Kerry’s dad had never experienced the fire, the volcano or the flying shrimp. Everyone was full and happy. And, Miss H did a pretty good job with the ‘chompsticks.’

Baby Shower for Aunt Leigh

We hosted a baby shower for Aunt Leigh this weekend and it was fun times for everyone. Again, I totally failed in the picture department but I was busy setting up, hosting and enjoying all the company.

Dad and Kathy stopped by here en route to South Dakota (not the most direct route but it was all for a good cause) and we got to spend time with them this weekend too. Plus, Buddy and Miss S got to meet and play in the backyard. Buddy is going to be in for a shock the next time he comes to visit and Miss S is much bigger.

Mom came prepared to the shower with gifts for Miss H :-) The highlight was the new paint set and after the festivities were over, she made many paintings on the front walk. It was a great lesson in mixing colors and what colors you can make with only a few of the basics.

Today, we went to see Aunt Leigh (and Uncle Chip’s) new house this weekend. Miss H loved throwing the ball off the deck and kicking it around their big yard.

All in all, a great weekend for a baby shower, family, friends and fun!
