Mother's Day Recap

Sunday was a good day. It's slightly ironic to me that on Mother's Day the special treat is to have time off from being a mom :)

So the day started like this... 6:15 am wake up to Andrew putting a plate of toast on me as I'm fast asleep in bed. This was very sweet of him yet somehow slightly worrisome thinking of him down in the kitchen, by himself, using the toaster. Tom got up and went to turn a cartoon on for Drew while the rest of the house slept. One of my Mother's Day gifts from Tom was the chance to sleep in while he got up with the kids. I must say - this was REALLY nice! I slept in till 9:30 and tried my best not to feel guilty about it.

We headed off to Jumping Jacks to meet up with Nate, Lisa, their girls, Mom, Dad, and Shelly. Gracie and Annie were dedicated at church and so we wanted to celebrate the occasion as a family. After Jumping Jacks Claire went down for a nap and Tom & the boys hung out while I got to go to Kohl's with my mom. After that, Tom mowed the lawn while the kids and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. Once the kiddos were in bed, Tom and I sat down in front of the TV and ate dinner. For some reason this is one of our favorite things to do - don't judge.

All of this added up to a pretty good day - Thanks Tom!
