Happy Mother's Day

Before talking about Mother's Day, we need to acknowledge Sawyer, who started preschool this past week. He was THRILLEd about finally getting to go to "Dylan's school" and was allowed to pick out his lunch bag and nap blanket (both Transformers). His teachers have called him "spirited" and "enthusiastic" which we all know is code for Loud and Nuts, but we'll take it.
Mother's Day started out with some luxury - sleeping until 8:30. Amazing. Mama got lovely cards from her babies and went shopping and had a nice lunch.  Then the 'real presents' were given - 

The boys washed Mama's minivan and were very helpful......
Lo made a special cameo during car washing but Dada has deemed her too ladylike to do manual labor. Mama called BS on this one and immediately took Logan inside for some tips on the proper uses of the vacuum attachments. 
After 18,000 days of rain, our backyard looked like a Costa Rican jungle and, as promised, it got mowed. A huge relief to Mama's OCD genetics. She swears the grass was taunting her.
Someone felt a tad daredevil-ish while playing in the backyard and ventured some bush climbing. Look closely....you know you see his head. Sputnik sees his head, for crying out loud. 

Happy Mother's Day to our own mothers, our friends who are mothers and our friends that will be mothers!

Great pictures! Especially the one in the bushes. You guys did a good job for your mommy. Logan -- You are getting to be such a big girl. Our mommy needs to come over and hold you so she can get a baby fix.
