Forever sweet

I had a supremely wonderful mother's day. After 7 hectic and wonderful years of marriage John still knows, and actually knows better what I like and don't like.

For one I am really odd about commercial holidays (i.e. Valentine's Day and Mothers Day). I want to celebrate them, but not with commercial merchandise. I don't want John spending twice as much on flowers those days and I don't want chocolate in a heart shaped box. But I do like to decorate for Valentine's day. Yes, like I said - odd.

So this year John woke up really, really early and scavenged the neighborhood for flowers in season. 

Next he bought me an ultra practical gift - laminator that i have been wanting for years and years. He drove around and got the best price, researched it, etc. It was the perfect present for me.

Next he made me my favorite breakfast (french toast make with lots of egg, bacon and milk) and then we went and got our cars washed! My other favorite thing to do. :) 

I also got the cute cards and handprint gifts from the kids. And then we spent the afternoon organizing the shed (everyone knows I loooove to organize), being together as a family, watching Avitar with the kids and just hanging out. It was perfection.

On the way home from the car wash you kids crashed. See below.

And I don't know what there is about sleeping children. No matter the age, it's always cute.

Thank you so much for making me a mommy. 

I am proud and happy every day that it's me & you.
