This Years Mother's Day {2009}

We had some family over to our place for a picnic, all premade food, it was awesome. After we ate, we all colored with chalk.

Here's my brother showing off his snail.

Some of the guests, Michael, Cee, My Mom, Matt

Logan, Kelly and Benny picking flowers for their mommies.

All in all it was a good day. My favorite part was the 2 hour nap after everyone left.

2008 Mother's Day Presesnt

My Grandma passed away March 2008. We were very close.

My mom gave me this book for Mother's Day last year. It was a gift my Mom gave to my Grandma on Mother's Day a while ago.

Inside I found a few of her personalized bookmarks, and

these pictures of the house she grew up in, in Detroit.

It's some sort of real estate card, with all the info about the house printed on the back.

It's a pretty fun piece of my family history.

Some more stuff

On a walk the other day I noticed this...

Every year the city of A2 forces people to replace parts of the sidewalk in front of their house that needs to be fixed up. If you don't do it yourself, the city does it for you. Well on a new patch of sidewalk someone took marbles and pushed them down into the cement to make this awesome peace sign. I was very impressed.

Curtains

This isn't such an exciting post, but here are the curtains we put up in Ben's room so it can be a little darker at 8 pm

Yay.

Catching Up

Here are some pictures of the bookshelf I painted for Ben's room. I thought it was going to hold much more than his last one, and it's already full! He has a little library going. I'm a little crazy about books.
