Mother's Day

My family planned such a wonderful day for me today.

I woke up to both of them yelling "happy mother's day, mommy!" and they quickly went downstairs with Brian to make me some breakfast.  I was able to wake up and get ready in peace and quiet (AWESOME!).

Made it downstairs in time to be served some yummy fruit and chocolate chip pancake.

My pancake got cut in half and one piece was put on Colin's plate and the other one went to Maggie (isn't that just about right?!), but I took a bite from Mags and it was delicious.

Don't worry, Brian made me an egg-in-the-hole, which I was able to eat...

 Love my kids more than anything!

They made the sweetest gifts for me at school.  I got a painted hand print from Maggie and Colin made me a book with a hand print magnet.  They were so proud to give me their presents.  

Totally cried when I read their cards - precious!

After a bit, we headed off to Lowe's to pick out my Mother's Day gift...a new LAWNMOWER!  Woo hoo!  I love it, and it has 4 wheels that all turn (my old one only had 3 working wheels for the last 2 years, making it slightly frustrating to mow).  We also picked out some plants to give my empty planters some love!

 See my "best mom ever" sticker on my shirt - it came with my card this morning - LOVE IT!

And a few shots of the flowers that we planted...

Brian also got me some tulips that I can't wait to plant in the fall.

Memaw got me some chocolate covered strawberries (yummy!) and Grammie got me a giftcard to Starbucks (also yummy!).  

We're going to Chuck E Cheese tomorrow for one more birthday celebration for Maggie.  We usually do it on their actual birthday, but Colin is having his tonsils and adenoids removed on Tuesday, so it wouldn't have been nice to go to Chuck E Cheese with one kiddo on bedrest.  

Feeling so blessed to have such a wonderful family to smother me with love on Mother's Day.
