Mother's Day

I hope all you moms, stepmoms, moms-to-be, grandmas and fury-kid moms had a fabulous Mother's Day yesterday!

Mine was really really good.
I told my kids I wanted two things - for the to NOT fight, and for me to not cook. :)

I was surprised when all three of my boys woke up and their first words were "Happy Mother's Day!"
They remembered without any help.  So sweet.

All three boys made me homemade cards.
Monkey-Man had a bit of help from daddy, but it still counts!
ConMan went above and beyond!  He made me an awesome card, a placemat and a breakfast menu!
The Chief made me a book called 26 Reasons I Love My Mom.  One reason for each letter - some of these were HILARIOUS!!

When my hubby woke, he stumbled to the kitchen, told me to get out and he made breakfast.
I can't tell you how huge this is!  He never cooks {though he does grill}.  He needed help finding everything, but he did a great job!
I had bacon and pink blueberry pancakes.  Yum!
Hubby spent most of the day outside with the boys, telling me to relax.  
Then for dinner he grilled out - ribs, burgers, brats, beans, potato salad - everything.  It was great!

I love Mother's Day!  
I think it gives us all a special day to reflect on those special women in our lives, while also knowing how important our own job as a mom is.  
I am a SAHM, which is tough some days, but is still the best gig I could ask for.
My boys make every day worth living - they are fun, loving, and kind.
My husband goes out of his way to let me know that he appreciates me and he sees the hard work I do for him and the boys.
I really appreciate that he sees my effort and of course I love him for all the VERY hard work he does to allow me to stay home with out kids.
I had a really great Mother's Day, though I wish my family was closer so we could have seen the kids' grandmas!  Maybe next year!
