Alexa and I had a great day before Mother's Day. The weather was supposed to be better today than tomorrow so we spent a lot of the day outside and just hanging out together. The day started with Alexa "washing" the dishes! When it was time to get dressed she found a belt and insisted that I help her put it on. Then she wanted to tuck in her shirt (she has never asked that before). After she tucked it in she looked at me and announced that she was a boy!
Then we headed to Target and did some shopping. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and yogurt for lunch and then off to the park!

She still loves to swing!
After the park we came home and mowed the yard and went to a nursery to buy some vegetable and flower plants. We picked up a pizza for supper. It was Alexa's idea - definately not mine - to top hers with popcorn!
After supper we took a couple bike rides - once on her bike and then on mine and then we came in and made hot chocolate and drank it on the front step. She gave me a hug and told me "You're the best". What more could any mom want for Mother's Day!!!
