Behind the Times: Mother's Day 2013

Remember how Mother's Day happened a few months ago?  Yea, that was one of those posts that I never wrote, probably because I was too busy watching the West Wing or something...

I am not sure if you have met my mother, but there are two important things you should know about her: 1) She's awesome. 2) Buying gifts for her is horrible.  She can't help it-- she's the girl who has everything!

So, Kristen and I spent some time trying to figure out what to do for her this Mother's day.  We decided that she enjoys experiences more than objects, so we planned the experience of a lifetime an afternoon of fun.  We kicked off the day with some bowling, followed by Chinese food....followed by fro-yo.  Yes, 66% of our outing centered around food.  What of it??

 Mel had to come along to restrain Piper.

 

 Notice my form-- this could be why I received the lowest score of the family...

 

 The restraining is easier when food is available.

 Wait, did I say only 66% of our outing involved food?  Make that 100%.  Bowling is exhausting!

 

 Myla finally tried her hand at bowling while wearing her princess shoes.  Thanks for the hand-me-downs, Lindsay!

 

 I have never seen her more proud of herself.
