Hayden with his best buddies eating his favorite food.... ice creamMothers Day weekend turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable. It started off with a pedi, mani and hair cut on Friday night after work. I decided to get my hair cut short, my "mommy" haircut as Jeff calls it. I got my pedi/mani with a gift card Hayden gave me 2 years ago. I am so bad about using gift cards right away. On Sunday Hayden presented me with a card and two Easter eggs. Each egg contained a silver booty, one blue to wear in honor of Hayden and one cream to wear in honor of Landon. These little shoes are the perfect gift. I couldn't have picked out anything better had I picked them out myself. Oh I wait I did!
After some confusion and clarification we celebrated Mother's day at Huber's Orchard and Winery with the family. It was nice being with both my mom and Jeff's mom. We had a nice lunch and then went outside to play on the farm. Hayden and Kayla had a blast. They rode on the wagon being pulled by a big red tractor, went sliding down the bumpy slide, (this was so much fun that all of us used Hayden and Kayla as an excuse to go down) fed the pot bellied pig and goats and played with bubbles on the grass. It was so relaxing which is completely different than I would have envisioned Mother's day (of all days) at Huber's. Think we might have to make this an annual tradition.
Now our morning didn't start out relaxing at all. After about an hour of sleep the night before (Landon was exercising his lungs all night) we hurriedly got the kids ready and out the door for church. All week we had been talking to Hayden about how he and Landon would be going to school on Sunday and that we could ride the school bus beforehand. After pulling into the church parking lot Hayden was already saying he didn't want to ride the bus so we walked the parking lot and went to Landon's class room first. At a few days past 5 months this was his first time to the nursery, aka school. With Hayden we waited until he was a year and we are still paying the price. I vowed we wouldn't make the same mistake so Landon is going to be familiar with "school" much earlier. So after dropping Landon off we went to Hayden's class room and the water works started as we handed him off to his "teacher". We watched through the two way mirror and Hayden was crying with arms outstretched towards the door. The teacher tried to get him to touch the Bible which Hayden refused. We watched for several minutes as the other kids sat at the table cooperating with the teacher as Hayden continued to scream. We then headed to church, crawled over one lady to our seats and in less than 10 minutes our child id was displayed on the jumbo tron. We crawled back over said lady and went to retrieve our child who was red faced with slobber and snot cascading down his face. Mr. Brian said to just keep trying and eventually he will get used to coming to "school". We then took Hayden to check on Landon who was crying in a swing. The poor nursery workers had their hands full with screaming babies. They were everywhere. Bouncy's, exersaucers and all 6 swings were occupied and going full speed. One lady keep trying to put Landon's paci back in as she juggled two other babies but he just kept spitting it back out in between wails. We decided to just go ahead and get Landon and call it a morning. Operation church and school was a bust. We told Hayden that Landon was crying (as they returned him to us) because he was sad he had to leave school. Not sure if he bought it but all week we have been talking about going back to see Mr. Brian and riding the school bus this weekend. We'll see how this weekend goes.

I love your Mommy hair. Very pretty and becoming on you as is motherhood. Looks like you had a great Mothers Day even with the rocky start at church. I know God appreciated your efforts and will bless you for them. :)
