Happy Mother's Day to Me!

I was in Chicago for most of Mother's Day weekend {on a fun getaway with a couple girlfriends}.  Scott was so great and took care of EVERYTHING!  I didn't get home until 1:00 a.m. Sunday morning, and found this waiting for me....



Here's a close-up of the picture in the frame....


How did I get so lucky?

It's Official....

We have a TRAMPOLINE!!!  

Several of the kids' friends have trampolines and they've been asking for one for well over a year now.  We decided it would be a good idea to make them "earn" it with acts of kindness.


It took them quite a while to fill up the jar (some of those puffballs are pretty small), but they did a great job!  It was so fun watching them go out of their way to help each other and do things around the house without being asked.  Plus, they appreciate it so much more knowing they put forth the effort to earn it.  





The best part is that it's been so fun for the whole family.  We've spent many an evening outside together...all six of us jumping on the tramp.  It can't get any better than this!
