Little Wild Animals...

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!  We had a pretty nice, uneventful day.  We met my Mom, Dad, sister and her family for breakfast early, to beat the crowds.  When we were done, Mackenzie decided to take her sister and little cousins to the zoo.

It was pretty nice to have a couple of hours to myself.  My husband had softball games all day, so he was out from underfoot too!  The girls had a great time at the zoo, even though it is under construction, and they couldn't see all of it that they are used to seeing.  I had sent Mack with a bit of money, and the little kids all got their faces painted.  Super cute.  I bet that they were the cutest animals at the zoo.

A pony, a tiger, and I don't know what Mea was...

When Mack and Mea got home, we ran to the grocery store, and Mea's meltdown for the day began.  She was so tired.  I washed her face paint off because I knew she was going to fall asleep, and that added to the meltdown.  She really wanted to keep it on for school today, it was half gone from her crying meltdown at the store.  She passed out cold ten minutes later, and slept for two hours.  Sleepy head. 

Mack is all done with school.  Her last day was Friday, she came home Saturday afternoon after checking out of the dorm.  All of her things had already been moved to the apartment she's moved into, so she really just had to turn in her keys. 

I got the best gift from her yesterday.  She worked on it all last week between studying for finals.  I still cannot believe how talented my oldest daughter is.  Sometimes I just look at the things she does in total awe.  I don't know what she is going to end up doing with her artistic talent, but I know whatever it is she does it's going to be something spectacular.  I know it's not just me that thinks this.  Her professors are seeing it, and saying it too.

She is framing it for me today.  I'm going to hang it in my office.  I still just can't believe how amazing it is.  Maybe someday soon, I'll be seeing drawings and paintings by Mack in an art gallery.  I wouldn't be surprised.
