Mother's Day

Sunday was a wonderful Mother's Day. Robb and the kids had been asking what I wanted to do for my special day and my answer was: just keep it simple. It was lovely, I got to sleep in until 9 which is unheard of since I earned the title of Mom. When I got up Robb and the kids had made French toast which is one of my breakfast favorites. The kids could hardly wait until I was done eating before they were bringing out cards and gifts. It was so cute! Abby had made me a card at school and she also made me a bracelet at school. Bryce and Caleb had each made a cute card at school with their hand prints and wrote what they like best about their mom. I think my favorite gift was the one that they all thought up together in the boys room. They took sticks and colored them green and then they each made a flower and taped it on the top. Abby even let them put all the flowers in one of her vases. It was so cute and I loved the fact that they had worked on it together without fighting.

We spent the rest of the day out enjoying the beautiful day. I planted all my flowers I had bought and watched the kids play. The kids were very well behaved for a change (usually they bring out their worst behavior on Mother's Day). It was a very enjoyable day and I have to say being a Mom is by far the hardest and most rewarding job at the same time. Mother's Day always makes me a little emotional because I think back to the days when all I wanted was to be a mom and I wasn't sure if that was in Gods plan. Thank goodness it was and I was blessed with 3 beautiful kids that mean the world to me.
