Mother's Day
This is the first year when my kids have been old enough to understand mother's day... It is also the first mother's day in a long time that I will spend without my husband around.
The boy-o made a project at school... a beautifully hand painted (as only a 6 year old can) flower pot, and in it he put tissue paper flowers. It is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I have suddenly turned into one of those sappy mommies, and I have a new center piece for my table.
This morning I was awoken by both kids, telling me that breakfast was ready... Granted, I was scared of what I might find... they did good. Brenden made cereal, and he put Rachel in charge of toast. It was dry toast, but toasted nicely. They did it all by themselves, and they were so proud. Also, the announcement was made that as an additional gift for the weekend, they were going to refrain from fighting. We'll see how well that goes.
They do seem to be ultra sweet today. It's a nice change.
They also plan to make lunch- being that I am not a big fan of PB&J, I may have to help them out with the preparation.
I just love the fact that they are thinking of me... For a 6 and 4 year old to be appreciative of the mommy thing is something great. It's the first mother's day they are making special, and I hope the first of many.

That is actually pretty amazing since mine are 9 and 11 and this is the absolute first year that they have made the big attempt to do the whole breakfast ting. Count you blessing, it had to have been Rachel's idea because the boys just don't seem to get it, they are after all just little MEN. Heidi
