woke up to pink tulips and breakfast in bed...french toast, spam, and scrambled eggs! I didn't even know that Brandon knew how to make french toast! what a sandbagger. I assume that he's been reserving those amazing culinary skills for a really special day...like our 7th mother's day together. fascinating.
then ahonui gave me a card that he made...
I honestly think that these little homemade creations are the most meaningful, special, and heartfelt gifts that you could get. it was actually the first time I got something from him where he understood what he was doing, what it was for, was mostly legible, and didn't have stick figures performing disturbing acts of violence. thank you, son! I will treasure it always.
then we went to church, and nahe made a beautiful little lollipop flower pot in nursery. but apparently, she made it for herself - on mother's day. because she clutched the pot close to her chest and refused to give it up when i asked her if she made it for me. rejected!! she's two years old...I guess I can let this one slide.
after church i was gifted yet AGAIN with a little nappy nap. and my day was complete with happiness.
i think the following illustration (courtesy of a random FB post) accurately describes what a mom really wants on a day off. and i gotta say that this past mother's day not only made me feel truly loved, but also like i'm not doing such a bad job as a mother to my little family. could not ask for more.
