First, Madelyn and I attended a mother's day brunch with my sister, one of my aunts and my grandma (who is in an assisted living facility because she has Alzheimer's). We all had a nice time! I think my grandma enjoyed us all being there with her as well as the fact that we enjoyed spending the time with her!
After leaving there...I took Madelyn to one of our favorite icecream places around. It's a small, old fashioned shop. It's sooo cute and it's such a treat to get icecream there! Madelyn got a mint chocolate chip icecream cone and I got a peanut butter icecream cone! YUM!
When we came home, there was lots to do......
Clothes to hang out on the line....


And weeding that needed done.....

At dinnertime...Madelyn was a great help! We made chicken, rice and green beans from the garden (that I had canned)!

My mom brought the boys home from their trail ride just as we finished the movie. The boys had a great time as well! Xavier rode on my mom's pony, Jasper...all by himself! (He has been taking riding lessons and doing a great job!) Jaxson rode behind my mom on a buddy saddle.
*Also* last night, God answered a prayer for me. It was such an immediate response from him and afterwards, I just kneeled on the floor beside my bed and praised Him. :)
It was just a wonderful day and I am so thankful for each moment I was given. I will treasure each one!!!
Before I go...I just wanted to share that our Christian Light Education curriculum for next year's schooling arrived!! It looks fantastic!!! I am ready to start....*although Madelyn said she had barely gotten a chance to enjoy her summer vacation*! I guess I can wait.....a little while! ;)

Sounds like a perfect day:)

ReplyDeleteKaty - It's wonderful how you are teaching your daughter how to be busy at home. She is learning so many skills that will be of such a benefit as she grows.
ReplyDeleteAwesome that your prayer was answered immediately. That doesn't happen often, but it's always wonderful when it does!!!!
