Happy Mother's Day!

We had a very nice day today!

We got up this morning and made it to church, not on time, but at least we all were there! lol Both boys' choir groups sang in service, separately. First went Levi's preschool choir. Needless to say, it was a hoot and Levi was the main entertainment! I have a good friend who has twin girls just a few months older than Levi and the three of them have been friends their whole lives. Anyway, the girls are in the choir group with Levi. One of them was standing right in front of him and one right beside him. During the first song, Levi decided to pull on the pony tail of the one in front of him. She swatted him away. He did it again, and she swatted him away again. This went on several times with her getting a little more miffed each time. About this time, the twin beside him started poking Levi in the back of the head to get him to stop bothering her sister. He swatted her away. Then he decided to mess with the back of her dress, the bow or something. This elicited yet another swat, which led to her turning around and telling him off right there. Then the twin beside him grabbed his hand and held it down. He tried to get it away, just a bit, but decided he didn't actually need that hand and he could use the other hand just as easily. Everyone in church was cracking up at this whole spectacle. Nicky and I were nearly crying (me from laughing too much and him from embarrassment). lol Mercifully, about this time the song finally ended and Levi got distracted and actually started to sing some of the second song. It was quite the show. And, don't ya know, I forgot the camera!! Argh. That video would have been fun, huh?

Next, Indy's choir sang and he did marvelous, standing so still and following the choir director and singing all that he should. We were proud of both of them. :-)

We drove through McDonald's for cheap cheeseburgers and hamburgers for lunch, then I played on the computer and took a short nap. Unfortunately, I was awakened by Indy screaming. He and Levi were outside playing in the new little pool I bought them and they decided to put their little plastic slide to land in the pool. Great idea, but when Indy stepped up on one of the steps, he stepped on a bee. Yes, it's true. He stepped on a bee. Poor thing! That's what he was screaming about!! I jumped out of bed and ran, while everyone else was running, too. I washed his foot off and the stinger was still there. Yuck! Poor baby. So, I gave him some Tylenol to help with the pain. He's not allergic, so I didn't need to give him benadryl. Besides, Nicky's parents were coming over and I didn't want Indy passed out, so the Tylenol worked well.

A little later, I shucked some corn, with help from Ashton, Indy, and Levi. They all had fun with that! We wrapped the corn in foil with butter, and Nicky put it on the grill with the chicken he was cooking for dinner. Around 4:30, his parents showed up and we had a nice visit. They liked meeting Big Mac and the boys kept them entertained quite a bit. lol We had a very nice dinner and time with family. And, big bonus: My house is clean!! We cleaned it yesterday, getting ready for today. Yay!! Now, the girls are doing dishes for me....mostly Ashton. So, I'm enjoying blogging right now. Ahhh.....

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day, too! :-)
