Happy Mother's Day

It was another wonderful Mother's Day here at my house. Brian had brought home gifts all week long, a new couch, a basketball hoop, clothes, and jewelry. Well, he doesn't know about the jewelry yet but when it arrives this week he will be VERY pleased with himself. The children have been hard at work on Mother's Day Projects for the past two weeks. I was showered by cards, letters, and decorated boxes. I honestly thought since they weren't in school they would just make a little last minute card but with sweet Ethan that would never due. 

We don't have any pictures of the day. One of my biggest regrets is that I don't have a picture of me and the children on any Mother's Day's. I think I might make everyone get back in their church clothes for a quick picture, we will see. 

During dinner Ethan thought we should go around the table and everyone say something nice about me. I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget! Here is what they said:

Kai-Your a good mom and I love you.

Ethan-You teach us what is right we  can do the right thing.

Brian-I love how hard you work at making us all happy.

Olivia-What I like about mom is when she does school with us.

Kai-I love you and I like the school stuff you do for us.

Ethan-I am grateful for the things you do for us like taking us to the zoo and movies. 

Brian-I enjoy spending time with you, you make everything fun.

Olivia-You have pretty eyes and lipstick.

Happy Mother's Day!

I love your family and I love you! I love how you can make ANY day a celebration. I was just thinking about how you make your birthday not just a birth DAY, but a birthday MONTH. Love it, love you!
Happy Mothers Day.

How cute! I have to admit, my favorite comment is that your daughter likes your lipstick!

I remember YEARS ago you talked about how you really wanted to be sure your home was FUN - sounds like you've done it.

Happy mother's Day!
