Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Yesterday morning, I got to sleep in :) Little Lion came in when breakfast was ready and shouted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!" I giggled :) He meant Happy Mother's Day, but I'll take it! I guess both days are celebrating Mom!

Our weekend was spent celebrating Moms. We made our parents homemade Topsy Turvys. The Topsy Turvy is a green, plastic container where you plant your tomatoes upside down. I found online a much cuter version which was easy to make. You take a coconut moss basket and cut a hole in the bottom. You push the tomato plant through and then you add herbs or flowers to the top. We did one of each for our Moms.
It was simple and about the same price as the Topsy Turvy, but WAY cuter!! Little Lion's craft kept with the theme. He glued a flower that I cut out on paper, but left the pedals unglued. I even let him cut out the circle :) Under each pedal, I wrote a reason why Little Lion loved his grandma.

Saturday, we spent with Mr.E's Mom and family. We went to Cracker Barrel and over to their house for cupcakes. Sunday morning, we celebrated ME :) Mr.E made breakfast and he and LL had bought flowers and made me a noodle heart. I also got (a month ago:) Maui Jim sunglasses!! We headed to the beach for some sun. Unfortunately it was super windy! So windy in fact that it covered our blanket. You could see the sand coming at you. So needless to say, we didn't stay long. We did manage to play for a bit in the sand and water.
After we headed to my Mom's house to grill out and hang out in the pool. It was a great day! And it's nice to feel appreciated whether it's Mother's Day or my Birthday :)

I'm glad to see some moms still wear bikinis! I feel like no one I know will wear one anymore and I hate being the oddball.
