My Mother is a Task Master

My mom was here all last week.  For some that statement might drive fear into their hearts.  For me it brought joy.... and total fatigue.  You see my mother cannot sit still.  She is always ready to go, to do the next thing the next project.

She made me take my craft cupboard from this

to this.

And my junk drawer- yep had to clean that too.

Okay, okay- so these might have been projects I wanted to do and she might have actually been nice enough to help me out.  But if I dare sit down, she was saying things like "we have ten minutes what job can we get done next?"

But it wasn't just all work;

There was lots of park time

Fun outside

Soccer Games

Dinner with a funny bird

 There was bike time- where both Lucas and Alex learned how to ride without training wheels

 Stories with Grandpa

There was dinner at Rain Forest Cafe while Eric and the boys were on a Father's and Sons camp-out.

There was mother's day with kisses from my parents

And look I got out from behind the camera and got pictures with my kids!

 

And there was even fun with my sister and her kids.  My nieces are both performers (cheerleader/gymnast and ballerina) the kids put on a little performance for us.

The performers

And here is their performance



And even though it is totally not Monday- she said it was okay so I am linking up with Elaine and her MissElaine-ous Monday.
