Mother's Day

It's Mother's Day again. This Mother's Day was pretty low key. We went to church and then the beach. It's the first time this year, and I'm so excited for the weekends to come. We didn't get in the water this time. Between Matt's surgery and Madeleine's fear of the water, we didn't see much point of getting our swimsuits. The sand was wonderful though, and Madeleine was thrilled to discover shells. She was so excited. She loaded up her little truck we bought with shell and drive it in the sand. It was buried a few times on accident when a sand tunnel collapsed, but Madeleine would run and grab her little blue shovel and dig it out again.

The beach was pretty empty and the clouds were moody. They were so thick and gray and the sky just faded into the ocean. We couldn't see and of the boats or airplanes but Madeleine kept looking for them whenever she heard them.

We left after a while and came home to a broken fridge and no food. We ended up eating ice cream and going to bed, which I guess is a pretty anticlimactic ending to the day. :)

PS. Blogger won't publish my responses to comments on old post. I'm going to try again in a few days, but sorry if I didn't get back to you! I appreciated all the advice about daycare.
