Happy Mother's Day

My Scooter cleaned the entire house yesterday as my Mother's Day present. (best gift ever!) So this morning when Scooter left a little after 7, I made the kids breakfast in bed. This last week I asked a friend of mine what she did on Mother's Day and if it was a hard day for her because her mom passed away when my friend was a senior in college. Anyway, she told me the coolest story about her mom. She said that every Mother's Day her mom made she and her sister breakfast in bed to thank them for being her kids. She explained that she would never be a mom if it wasn't for her them so the day was really in their honor. I loved, loved, loved the idea so I thought I'd try it.



The kids were up around 6:00 (as usual) so I sent them each up to their own room and told them I needed to talk to them separately. They looked confused.

Then I gave them each a tray and sang to them. They LOVED it.

I forgot Macker was old enough to care about breakfast in bed. When he saw the teenagers with their food he pointed to his bed and "Macker, ni-night?"

Lucky for me his sheets had already been removed (leaky diaper). He loved his cinnamon roll on a paper plate.Later we gardened together. Peppers, strawberries, tomatoes...

Macker was way more into the digging.

We also went on a family bike ride and had friends over for dessert. Such a fun day.

Macker's starting to like his bike!

I love these little sweethearts and I am thankful that I have been chosen to be their mom.

PS- Junie asked me if I would serve him his dinner tonight... in bed.
