Mother's Day Weekend

Week 50:  This was the week of Mother's Day.  Mary Virginia's class celebrated with "Muffins for Moms".   All of the moms were invited to the school to celebrate with the kindergarten classes.  When we arrived the kids sang a cute song and presented us with gifts, then it was time for yummy breakfast - we had doughnuts instead of muffins!  The kids had so much fun and were so excited to welcome us to school!

Then it was time for MV's last Friday of school!  She was so excited and they were going to have a "play day", but of course, being in LA, it rained so they had to postpone it until Monday!

While Mary Virginia was celebrating her last week of school, John Bay and I were trying to get in the swing of summer! 
This was after John Bay's last day of school...

And then there was horseback riding...

I am going to have to try to find a way to keep these kids occupied this summer - and wear them out!

For Mother's Day Weekend, I asked for one thing...we had friends coming to New Orleans for the weekend and I wanted to meet them down there for lunch and a little time to visit!  The kids have always wanted to take a carriage ride, so after a delicious lunch at Johnny's Po-boys, we took a carriage ride.  I think we all loved the ride!  The guide asked Hunter and MV to ride up in the front of the carriage - they were so excited!  I was praying that MV didn't steal the reigns!

Cruising down Bourbon Street - please note that this is the only time that MV will be on Bourbon Street (ever)!

Sydney and John Bay rode with us on one of the back rows.  They had a blast seeing the sights and eating pralines!  (JB wouldn't smile for a picture, he was just being goofy!)

After the carriage ride, the rain came!  We ran through the pouring rain with daiquiris in hand to the French Market and then it was time to say good-bye to the Pfiesters.  But, what is a trip to New Orleans without a quick stop at Cafe Du Monde?  It was a nice break from the rain and the kids were in need of some powdered sugar!

As we were waiting on the car, the kids decided to give me a wonderful Mother's Day gift...they were hugging and loving each other (not fighting) and I luckily caught it on camera!

We are looking forward to a fun week of kindergarten graduation and a trip to the beach!
