As with my birthday, my family did more for me this Mothers Day than they've done before. I chalk it up to my kids being older and more involved.
My morning started at about 7:30 with Tyler plopping a bowl on my tummy and telling me I get breakfast in bed. He decided I should have a bowl of cereal so he took the crumbs from the bottom of the bag of shredded wheat and poured in my (expired) milk. My kids drink 2% milk, but I drink nonfat, so he was being so good by using my milk. He had no idea it was sour. It was such a sweet gesture.
Scott then went downstairs and let the kids know Mommy wanted to sleep in a little bit, so they needed to be quiet and leave me alone. They did. About 9:00 they came up with my second breakfast in bed; peanut butter toast and pineapple juice. It was very good. They also came up with gifts; a beautiful, bright spring bouquet of flowers, a cute balloon, some sugar free candy, and a poem and recipe holder Rachel made at school. It was all very wonderful.
At church, instead of the usual mums or pansies we're given, our ward gave out pies. Yes, pies. Full size 9 inch apple pies. I was impressed.
When we got home from church, I got to sit on the couch and watch a movie with my kids while Scott made dinner. He did a great job of it, and he did a full on dinner. He made a roast, baked potatoes with all the fixings, and asparagus. It was all delicious. And with the apple pie, dessert was covered! Of course, you can't eat pie without ice cream, so we pulled out my new ice cream maker I got from Mom for my birthday and made homemade ice cream to go with it!
It was a very nice Mothers Day for me. My family really made sure I felt loved and appreciated.

That's so cute - makes you happy to be a mommy, doesn't it?? Did you eat the cereal with the sour milk?? :)~
2 out of 3 I'm going to say. I'm getting better!! Only took me how many years???
Fortunately he left the room before I ate any of it, so he didn't see that it went down the toilet. If he'd been in the room watching me, I probably would have forced it down. I'm just touched he wanted to do something so nice for his mommy. That small, spontaneous gesture was probably the best part of it all. It does make me happy to be a mommy.
