My Mother's Day

My Mother's Day has been great. Derrick let me sleep in, then he made me french toast, then he let me take a morning nap (I love sleep), and then I took a nice, long shower. Derrick was wonderful at serving me all day today, and he even covered my share of child duties several times.

My kids are finally beginning to make things for me as gifts. I received many hand-made items for this Mother's Day...

Cards, a painted flower pot, a handprint poem,
a necklace, a drying towel, and another card

Dayton and Daphne painted this flower pot together-
Dayton painted green and Daphne painted red

My mom calls some of these items Gummy Lumps, and I say bring them on! I'm thrilled to start receiving items made by my kids' little hands- very precious.

I told my kids that I wanted them to play nice together all day for me today, and they did. They sure know how to make me happy.

I love these two kids

And I love when they play together
(here they're pretending to be dogs in their doghouse)

I think being a mom is the hardest and most important job in the world. I love it.
