Happy Mothers Day

We didn't do anything outrageous for Mother's Day. We celebrated low key with the family and I always joke with Rob saying I either want us all together as a family or I want a day at the spa. I think I might have to try the spa day sometime within the next few years! Rob did cook me a fabulous steak dinner. He also cooked us some asparagus and even cut a few from our garden. Ooo la la!

We did celebrate the day with some good ol fashion dancing. I think I have let my kids watch too much of SYTYCD. The reason is that Mason told me that boys dance without their shirts, he said he sees it all the time on TV.

So off came the shirts and we danced. Well, we kept our shirts on while the kids took theirs off.

We then ended up doing some acrobats and dress up to end our celebration.

Mother's Day Tea

Mason's school had a Mother's Day Tea we all attended. I normally don't eat the cookies, but for some reason felt compelled to try one this time. I tasted a distinct taste of almond. More than likely it was almond flavoring, but I decided to play it safe and not let Mason eat the cookie. After a few tears, he finally decided upon a muffin that was offered from his teacher.

It was a sweet little tea, Mason serenaded us and he actually sang. He also served me my tea and cookie, maybe that is why I felt the need to eat it? He also gave me a plant with a covering he made for me. It said "I love my mom because she reads me books before I go to bed at night!" He also signed in and colored a picture of us on a walk holding hands. The space that he drew the picture had some pre drawn hearts around it and he pointed out that he colored the hearts green for me, because he knows that is my favorite color.

Happy Mothers Day

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day like I did. Rob and the kids got me a wonderful anti-gravity chair to sit on outside, but the weather is in the 50's. So with it being cold, wet, and rainy we set it up inside to enjoy, but for some reason I have to take turns and my turn isn't as long as others? Hmmmmm It also was a surprise, Rob didn't let Mason in on my present for Mother's Day since he slipped up on my birthday.

Mothers Day Tea

Mason's pre school had a Mothers Day Tea for us today and they really did have tea. He was thrilled when I walked into his class which is a real treat for me because I don't come home from work etc for him to get thrilled over seeing me. He sang a song and recited a poem along with his 9 other classmates. It was adorable and he could have been talking about global warming in it, I didn't linger on the words, but the actions. His blowing kisses might be delayed, but they were precious.

Happy Mothers Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day and I wish everyone else a great day. I slept in a bit this morning and then we all got ready and loaded up and went to the Wauwatosa Crime Stoppers Pancake Breakfast. Mason was free and when we went through the line they only gave him 1 pancake. We should have paid for him because he ate 5 whole pancakes and a banana, this was after having 2 pieces of toast and a banana at home. I am fearful of the grocery list and bill once when he is a growing teenager. Ellery slept through the event. The Brewers game sausages were at the event, Mason was a bit scared of them, but that didn't stop us from having his picture taken with them. After our bellies were full we all came home and relaxed the afternoon away. When our relaxation was over I found my cake, cards, and beautiful flowers on the table. Rob drew around Mason and Ellery's hands and cut them out, folded them together, and glued them on popsicle sticks. My bouquet of hand flowers is by far the greatest gift ever. I think they could be a priceless mastercard commercial. It was very thoughtful and sweet of Rob and I will cherish them forever. I am blessed to have a wonderful loving and supporting husband and 2 great kids to celebrate my day with. I wish this for every mom!
