Early Bird

Good evening everyone! Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms reading the post. The week went pretty well leading up to the special holiday. One of the major highlights was Chelsea beating Frankfurt in PKs. It was an absolute nerve-wrecking match and what made the win extra special, was that Mia watched her favorite player Eden Hazard make that final shot. He's been heavily rumored to leave the beloved club so this win to send the Blues to the Europa league final was surreal and poetic. I literally watched the PK's a handful of times. Such a great performance by Kepa as well.

Unfortunately, Liverpool and Spurs will face each other for the UCL title. Two Godawful rivals of Chelsea FC and I wish Madrid would open up and swallow both teams to prevent either team from getting the trophy, but what can ya do. City pulled through today keeping Liverpool from winning the Premier League title, so that works. Not that I'm a fan of City, but if it prevents a rival from getting it, I'm happy. Now the goal is to keep Hazard at any cost.

The ladies made some macarons that were absolutely amazing. Saturday, Jill had to work so Mia and I worked on a very special Mother's Day poem. Usually, we'd work on an art project, but Mia made a really special string art piece. We picked up some orchids for the Grandmas and the rest of the afternoon, Mia did some bike riding at Orchard Lane till Jill came home. We rented Lego Movie 2 and had pizzas. I had forgotten that the movie is sorta all over the place. Jill wasn't a huge fan of it. They made some homemade donuts and a breakfast casserole till we went to bed.

Early in the morning, I felt some tapping on my arm and it was Mia on the other side of my bed wanting to make Jill a little breakfast. I looked at my phone and it was 6:30AM! Mia hasn't gotten up this early in quit a while. There was no way Jill wanted to get up that early so Mia attempted to sleep a little more. Couldn't do it, so a bit before 7:00am, we put together her breakfast and gifts. Jill loved it and soon, both of them fell back to sleep while I tried to find the Chelsea vs Leicester match. Around 10:30, my in-laws and family came in and we had a really nice Mother's Day brunch. Lots of great food and craziness with the cousins. Mia directed and put on a puppet show as well. Saturday, she wrote it and built the puppets for the special one-time performance. Both Jill and I had lines for the play as well. It was a pretty cute performance and since Mia had so much fun with it, she'll probably write more.

This week should go quick. I took off Friday so I could attend the Kick off Party for the Milwaukee Torrent. Mia wants to come with me as well so it should be a great time. That's all for now, thanks for reading!
