Mommy Day

My Mother's Day was ssssssssssoooooooooooooooooooooo perfect! I loved every second of it. Robert made sure every part was perfect! He got me a cologne that was my favorite brand - Ed Hardy - that we can't afford to ever buy cuz it's WAY pricey! Yet the kids picked the exact one. And it really is great!




Then I also got a personalized cake! How much better can it be?!?! I got to take a nap while the kids and Rob made me a funfetti cake! Rob even substituted the frosting for the reduced sugar and added sprinkles :)








I think that my day was absolutely PERFECT! I feel so lucky to be a mom. I don't feel like a day to recognize it is really needed. I feel appreciated every day from the twins & Rob. But it's not every day I get homemade stuff to spoil me!!! I L-O-V-E that stuff!!!! It's kinda my fault though cuz i made a "holiday rule" - the kids have to do something homemeade every holiday, even if it's just a card. I don't want every holiday to be about expensive gifts. I want things from the heart because they have such big hearts that gush when you talk to them about loving people.... It's so great!!! :) i have such amazing boys.... all 3 of them!

The day pretty much started after my nap at 2 while I was still grounded to my room while the cake finished. I got a thoughtful phone call from Aunt Elaine. It truly gave me a great start to the day. Just thinking about it makes me teary. Sometimes it's just nice to get a "thank you" phone call! But never expected thats what made it so great! a genuine Happy Mother's Day along with a great compliment and a Thank You. It was a great beginning to a fantastic day!!! I just hope her day was as great as mine!

We also went to my grandparents' house for a BBQ which wiped me out! Lots of people and a new medication made me really sleepy so we left in a hurry so we could make it to "Grandma Chicken's" LOL. I wish we could have gone there earlier so we could spend more time. But grandma Marty loved her paper flowers the kids made & picture frames. There is still one gift that takes a few days to dry (we didn't anticipate such a long drying time!) so she is waiting on that one, bless her heart!. It was important to us this year to do homemade gifts. They seemed to go over well. I took the kids to a class at Michael's to learn how to make the flowers & we did the flowers and picture frames with my best friend's kids that they LOVE playing with. (They are the older boy and little girl you see in the cookie/cupcake decorating pictures w/ the twins all the time. We do lots of play dates. We try for every week.)

Well, it's late and I'm gonna read for a bit since Rob is at work.... I never sleep much on the nights he works. I feel too guilty!

G'night all!!!
