Happy, Happy Mother's Day

Well, Mother's day started out rough but ended up turning out great.

Since we have church at 9 a.m. and three kids to get ready, brad made my breakfast on saturday, after he let me sleep in. He made buttermilk pancakes, with raspberry syrup, eggs and sausage.

Then on Mother's day, we went to church, I had to be on time, to play piano for primary in sacrament meeting. We got there and the kids were on one! After I played, i took D out about three time and Coleman twice and then brad just took them home to talk to them. Then I felt bad he was home with them and missing church, so I walked home to help with kids. After some talking and making them practice being reverent (ha, ha) we went back to church for them to make their "Mother's day" cards, crafts or whatever. I promised D that that was what he was missing by being home. Well, when I picked them up from their classes, D shouted ,"Mom, you'ra a liar! We did not make anything for mother's day!" He was mad at me for the next few hours. I just assumed, since I had always made things when I was little and with my classes i've taught.

We went home and had burned grilled cheese sandwhiches with soup. Then brad let me take a long needed nap, but it was one of those you wake up ornerier then when you went down. So, after a little he made me a delicious grilled chicken salad with fresh crumbles bacon on it and real ranch dressing. What i mean by that is not light, it was the real, hidden valley homemade fattening ranch dressing and it was soooooooooooooooooo good!

Then he made me a yummy homemade buttermilk chocolate cake with whipped cream and fresh sliced strawberries from our garden. He got me a new griddle, the boys wanted to get me a HOT PINK bath towel and brad let each of them pick a bunch of flowers, D picked roses and C mini carnations. Brad also got me a bag of my favorite, Milano Mint cookies and a costco membership! So, it was a good day for me! Brad even wrote in the card! :)
