Mama's Day

I love holidays that involve presents. I also love holidays that involve family time and getting to sleep till 10am. My hubby is so good about being thoughtful. He let me sleep in, and when I did wake up it was to 3 freshly bathed hooligans bringing me a present and a really funny card. They of course wanted to confiscate the card, they love cards, but I have managed to retain possession so far.

We also spent some time with my mom, and then some time at church...and then some much appreciated time just sitting around the house. We have been so busy lately there isn't much time to just sit. Our couch is feeling kind of unappreciated. But we didn't even make it to the couch yesterday. I ended up in the floor by the stairs with the kiddos sitting on me, just talking and playing. It's always nice to know you are appreciated on Mother's day.

It's always interesting to see what your kids really think of you, too. They did a little craft in church where they had to fill out an interview about their mom. (I was in Merrick's class and we kind of dropped the ball on that...but we filled his out at home. Oops.) I was pleased to learn that they think I'm a few years younger than I actually am...but would like to take a moment to point out that I do not laugh when they say "poopy". It annoys me to tears and I beg them to stop. But at least they seem to think I can cook a few things, too. Even if it's only smoothies and cake. ;)
