Matt and I invited my parents over for a Mother's Day breakfast. I made some delicious donut-like chocolate waffles...really more of a dessert than breakfast. We also enjoyed some mimosas and fresh fruit. Then we all went on a nice walk around Robbinsdale. The boys and McGee were the brisk walkers and mom & I lagged behind slowly looking at houses and gardens. I'm always amazed the the array of stuff people put out on their yard...I'm not really a knick-knack type person, but there are a lot of people who have yard knick-knacks. Yuck.
After my parents left we went to the garden center at Cub...well we made two trips...and got 16 bags of mulch. I love the way freshly mulched flower beds look each spring. I wish that I had more of a green thumb. I mostly just have professional looking mulch gardens. Sadly I'm not kidding at all, but I am good at keeping trees alive.
Matt's mom, sister, and our niece came over for lunch. We had tarragon shallot egg salad sandwiches, wild rice soup, chips, and strawberry-rhubarb pie for lunch. Then we played with chalk on the sidewalks, played some lasso golf, made bubbles, and made a living room fort (which McGee tore down). Here's a cute picture of KT posing for the picture in the middle of the bubbles.
Happy Mother's Day Mom's!!
