Mommies- what did your children do/get for you today?

Mine spent time with me and just loved me and that was the best gift of all to me. They are 2 and 3 and really don’t know the meaning of mother’s day yet.

Thank you, dear Johnny
For being my son
I did all your homework
I took you to prom
And you were the only guy
Who got lucky that night…

a slight adaptation of Stephen Lynch’s Mother’s day

My son came in my room, wished me a Happy Mother’s Day, told me he loved me, and gave me a kiss.

My husband went out and bought me some donuts first thing this morning (which I’ve been craving quite a bit during this pregnancy) and gave me those, a glass of milk, and a card in bed this morning. He’s taking me out to lunch tomorrow as well.

2 days of no cooking. Yeah! All very bad food (fattening) that I’m going to have to really work off this week. :( And I we went out to see Thor, in Imax.
We hung out yesterday and today and had a very relaxing and fun weekend. It was all very sweet and nice.
Unfortunately my son is too far away to be here with us.

They gave me really sweet homemade cards and some awesome gifts: These prints (I collect miniature chairs) and a custom cookbook (made by one of my daughters) that is full of all my favorite recipes. I also got to eat the meal I requested, which was grilled cheese (Muenster on sourdough) and bacon sandwiches. Yummeh!

My 6 and 7 year old boys gave me things they made at school for Mother’s Day. I also got a card from all three kids and one from my husband, plus a Pandora bracelet with one charm to start. I was really impressed with my husband for remembering I’d said I wanted one AND knowing exactly which style I’d prefer! We took the kids to see the art gallery where my husband’s work is currently being featured, had a wonderful little cookout for lunch, then I got to take an afternoon nap. It was a very nice day of spending time with my family and being spoiled!

On Friday my sons preschool had a “muffins with mom” and my son gave me a potted plant..with flowers designed on it with his fingerprints as the petals.
Other than that, I did not get anything. Went out to brunch with my parents though.
