Okay, so I must be the girl that Mother's Day was made for...because I absolutely love the day. But what's new? I love any holiday.
Saturday morning I slept in an extra hour and when I woke up I came downstairs to kiss my Baby Kate. She quickly leapt from the couch saying, "We got a surprise for you, Mom! Come here! I show you." She led me into the front room and opened a drawer revealing a colorful Mother's Day card that her daddy had helped her make. Just then Dave walked in saying, "Hey, that was supposed to be a surprise!!! It's not Mother's Day yet!" Of course, I was happy to get an early surprise.
So her card had stenciled drawings of flowers, sunshine, and butterflies, and then on the inside...
OH! I could listen to it over and over; she is so darling.
Dave, too, has been full of fun surprises. Flowers, cards, chocolates, window cleanings, extra help with Kate, etc.---but then he's pretty good at doing stuff like that on the non-holidays too. Church and our dinners with our moms on Sunday were lovely, full of lots of delicious treats. We even got to talk to "Uncle Mike on a Mission!"
I didn't always love this day, but since becoming a mom, I really do love it. So much of the day to day stuff can make motherhood hard so it's nice to have a day to remind me of just how lucky I am to be a mom; as well as having a wonderful mom, mother-in-law, and grandmas too.
That sounds like a great Mother's Day! I hope that card recording has a good battery that lasts forever, because that recording would be so cute to listen to in a few years.
