My Mother's Day

My Mother's Day was fabulous!! I have been truly blessed with a wonderful mom who has taught me alot and I am so happy to not only be able to spend Mother's Day with her but everyday be able to be with her and see her. It is a wonderful blessing! I am able to do something that some ladies only wish that they could do (although I know some would never be able to). LOL Yes, there are challenges but overall it is a wonderful experience and a true blessing!!
For Mother's Day the some of the kids got up early and made mom and I breakfast in bed! We enjoyed feasting on eggs, sausage, and toast with some coffee. I went to the bathroom and smelled something burning and sent Randy into the kitchen though even though this was supposed to be only the kiddos (don't worry Maryjo was in charge and she is an awesome cook) but the toast burned! lol Not to worry mom and I got fresh unburned toast and it was excellent!! Randy then cleaned up the kitchen for the kids while I got showered in cuddles and homemade cards!! My fave!! Somehow I found myself with a morning nap!!! I loved it but then got up and felt like doing something/anything so I just watered the plants. That's it. That is the only productive thing I did on Mother's Day! I loved it!! The older kids made dinner and Randy worked in the garden. I relaxed! I did treat myself to two books on Friday for Mother's Day that I looked through on Sunday though. I am totally enjoying them.
Eli also got two new books on Friday because I walked into the girls room to find him reading that morning on his own without being asked. So proud! He usually has to be asked or begged to read. He is finally taking more of an interest in reading though so since we have a long road trip coming up I got him a couple books for it!!
I loved, loved, loved my Mother's Day and can't wait to do it again!! Do I have to wait a whole year???
