Mother's Day

Just a quick post with some Mother's Day pictures.

We really had a wonderful, low key day. It started out with the girls (and Ricardo) giving me cards, a beautiful bouquet of flowers, two (free kids-club) balloons and a fruit roll-up.

Then we went to morning brunch together. The girls were really good and the food was great...it was definitely worth the calorie cheat!

You know you're a dad when you'll wear a pink My Little Pony backpack in public.

Ella, me, and her backpack full of Princesses
Sofia definitely has a future in watermelon eating contests...

The fam

We went up to Wal-Mart after to look at bikes for Ella and then came home and put the girls down for naps and "un-quiet" time. I got to go to the gym and get in some cardio, which was great.

When I got home and the girls got up we all went in the backyard and played...for 3+ hours. The girls had a blast sliding, swinging and riding bikes. Ricardo BBQ'd dinner and we enjoyed eating it out on the patio.

It really was the perfect, relaxing day with my family.

My Mother's Day Card From Ella

(click to enlarge)

I had to post this, because it made me laugh. This is my Mother's Day card from Ella. She obviously told her teachers what to write and they typed it up.

1) I have brown hair and my eyes are more green than blue. I think she was thinking of Barbie here, not mommy.
2) They spelled Sofia wrong
3) I do really like salads but I think it's hysterical that it's something Ella felt important enough to share on her Mother's Day card
4) I love that she said she loves me so so so much, because that's what we say to each other other home.

I love this kid!
