Easy Mother's Day Craft

I promise I'll get back to blogging soon.  I have a list of post ideas and I just need to take the time to sit down and work on them!  Does anyone know where I can get some extra time to do that?!

Anyway, I wanted to share a quick and easy Mother's Day craft idea.  My mom and mother-in-law love getting little "handmade" gifts from Carson so I knew I wanted to include Mason this time!  I had to do something easy since he's only 3 weeks so I decided on foot prints.  I based this off a picture I saw on Pinterest and made a few modifications.

For the foot prints I used 3 colors on Carson and then one on Mason.  Carson loves it and says "tickle!" the whole time.  Mason was not a fan of the cold paint....poor guy!

It's not perfect but it was made with love! :)

My First Mother's Day!

Sunday was my first Mother's Day!  Last year Carson was still in my belly and was waiting to make his grand entrance into this world!

We decided to spend the day with our moms at the zoo.  Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side and it only got into the 50's.  We didn't let that ruin our plans, though!

Before we went to the zoo, we spent our morning hanging out at home and being lazy.  Carson and Nick both got me potted flowers to put on our back patio and cute cards!

While we were at the zoo Carson had his first experience at the petting zoo!  I used to be one of those people thinking "Ew, gross.  WHO would let their kids in with those dirty animals?"  I know who now, people who want their kids to have fun and learn by exploration! :)  Carson LOVED it!  He loved "chasing" the [slow] goats and petting them.  The goats were good sports since Carson is still working on his "gentle" petting. 

Here's a picture of all 3 moms and my little family of 3!
