Mother's Day And A Fortieth Birthday

So this weekend we celebrated Mother's Day AND my husband's 40th birthday. His birthday was actually the 6th, but he was coming home from deployment training and didn't get home until the 7th. My birthday is in June and I will also be 40.  When you turn 40, all sorts of things run through your mind like wow, I'm getting older and I should probably look into term life insurance quotes just in case.  After all, you never know what can happen down the line and it's important to always be prepared. 


But I knew I wanted to celebrate even if I do panic about getting older at times. I decorated the yard with 40th birthday signs:



I also picked him up a cake and got him some presents:




He didn't get home until the evening and was most likely jet lagged, but we still wanted to do something nice. 

Oh, and he brought me roses for both Mother's Day and because he missed me:



The next day was Mother's Day and I got this nifty balloon drawing from my kids:




We went to Chuy's for lunch:




I also got a sweet message from my daughter:





I'm lucky. I have the best kids and the best mother. We always have a blast when we're together. Our Walt Disney World trips are some of the best. 






I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
