A lovely mother's day with my favorite people...
First, church.
Then, obligatory photos, and the gift of a new cup for mom because I broke my water bottle this week.
Mike grilled steaks for lunch and made fried potatoes and tossed salad for lunch with the kids' help. Delicious. After lunch my sweet crew worked so hard for me. They took some bricks that were already on the property and made a new flower bed in front of the fence. Last year we tried to grow a patch of wildflowers there and were not successful, so this year Mike and Xabe re-tilled it, bricked it in, and we filled it with good soil.
When Mike and I went to buy soil, I had a whim to get some fairy garden supplies. Mike indulged me at both Dollar Tree and Dollar General.
The kids and Mike got the dirt dumped and leveled out and then Mia, Zayden, Evalynn, Mike, and I put in our fairy spots....what a fun, sweet time.
Tomorrow we'll plant our wildflower seed mix around the fairy garden areas and let the flowers grow up (hopefully). This is a shady area so we got wildflowers good for partial shade and are hoping for the best! The fairy gardens are giving me immense joy.All in all it was a lovely day. I repotted some house plants, the wind chimes are re-hung, and did you see those fairy gardens? :)
I'm a blessed mama indeed.
