So my day started out with
breakfast in bed. . .
(Kale insisted he take my picture)
And my 3 favorite things
from my 3 favorite kids!
And my husband surprised me with
A LILAC BUSH!
I have wanted one since we moved into this house
and I finally got it.
It's planted right outside our dining room window.
I can't wait to watch it grow and blossom!
And who wouldn't want this for dinner?
Yum. Yum.
So I had a wonderful Mother's Day.
I will admit there have been some Mother's Days where I have wanted "a break" from my mom duties. I always have thought it a bit ironic that the day motherhood is celebrated we as mothers want nothing to do with being a mom.
But this Mother's Day was different for me.
I wanted to be surrounded by my kids.
We read books today.
We played a game today.
We took a family walk today.
We wrestled, and played and laughed today.
Today was a good day.
While I was in Utah last week I got to go see my mother.
It had been a long time since I was there last and I was surprised at the comfort I felt just being there.
Happy Mother's Day!
