I had a great Mother's Day yesterday. I have the best husband and kids! Mark made me breakfast, lunch and dinner and cleaned up the kitchen too :) Love that! He also got me a hanging flower basket and hooked up our sprinkler to it so that I don't have to remember to water it. I love plants, but am not so good at the watering part.....

Aspen was very sweet all day and kept telling me "happy mother's day", giving me mother's day hugs, and telling me how much he loved me. I love being a mommy.

This picture is of Aspen's ladybug. He LOVES bugs of all kinds - spiders, potato bugs, ants, beetles, flys, you name it. As I type this, we have a container of ants and another one of little tadpoles that he caught out of our gross pond. Actually, I think they may be mosquito larve (yuck!), but it's hard to say no to something that captures his attention for so long. Not even his "Larry Boy" computer game can do that! He has made friends with the 9 year old neighbor boy and often ropes him into helping him search for bugs. It's so much fun to see Aspen find something that he really loves.
