Mother's Day 2013

Happy Mother's Day!!  Today was a very special day, as I think the kids are grasping what Mother's Day is.  They couldn't do enough for me!!  They went shopping yesterday and hid the goodies in the basement, fixed me breakfast this morning and gave me lots and lots of specially made treats ~ and plenty of hugs and kisses too!

this was on the table when I went downstairs

Reagan picked out the flowers

 Cooper picked out cupcakes

 Reagan made me waffles; Cooper added the strawberries

Bed Buddies

When I went to wake Reagan & Cooper for school this morning, I found them in the bed together.  They had snuck in each other's room in the middle of the night.  

looks like they slept just fine!

if only they could be this peaceful during their waking hours!

Gymnastics Show

One of Reagan's friends from church & school also takes gymnastics with her.  When we were having Bible Study Friday night, the girls wanted to show us a few things they have learned.
