Day 126 Birthday With Family...The Best & We're Blessed

Nothing feels better than being with Family and celebrating whatever the event may be.  Today it was my middle DS's 6th birthday party with Family.  It was a hoot!!  There was no theme, but he came up with one on his own.  He asked me this morning..."Mommy, can I just wear my cowboy clothes?" He had just gotten a new cowboy hat from a garage sale yesterday.  It was the sweetest lady whom we purchased it from.  Her mother had just passed and she was selling items she didn't want as keepsakes.  This was one of them and I purchased a couple hand fulls of other items as well.  I told her her mothers items will be enjoyed by many and will continue to keep giving joy to many because I will be using them as photo props.  She loved it....In fact, there was a VERY old toy in a box that my middle DS asked if I would buy for him and I kindly said "Not this time"....he politely responded with an "OK Mommy" and put it back where he found it.  The lady overheard him ask me and when I gave her my money she told me to put that toy in my bag for him if I didn't mind.  She wanted it to go to a little boy whom she knew would enjoy it and told me to give it to him when I felt it most appropriate.  It made me feel good as a Mommy because I feel my children made a good first impression.  Proud moment.  So I have the toy...it is still in the bag from the sale and I will surprise it for him at some point.  Knowing him he will tear up and say "Mommy, she didn't have to do that, but it was very kind of her."  Love this little boy!!!!  So back to the cowboy clothes....I said, "Sure, you may wear them.  But please put on a pair of jeans without holes."  "But Mom, cowboy jeans have holes?"  We both agreed they do and that is just what he wore....

We are so blessed with the families we have and love them so much.  We enjoyed having everyone over and the kids had a great time.  I have many photos, but it is late.  I would love to get to them next week sometime so that I can show you.  We'll see. 

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful, beautiful, amazingly talented MOMS!!  Blessings to you as you spend the day with those special to you.
