I had a wonderful Mother's Day! The kids began the day by bringing in a menu to Todd and I while we were still in bed. The menu was very cute. It listed all the different cereal options, toast, pancakes, eggs and anything they thought they could make. Although the fried eggs did have a disclaimer that they weren't sure those would turn out or not. Todd and I both went with a safe peanut butter toast option and it was very good. I'm pretty sure that was my first time ever having breakfast in bed! The kids then proceeded to spend much of the day making me cards, drawings, coupons, flowers and anything else they could think of to make. They also performed the primary song, "Mother, I Love You" with Megan at the piano. My kids are very sweet and I felt very loved and appreciated!
Next year, I'll even have one more reason to be thankful on Mother's Day for my kids--all SIX of them. Yes, we are expecting a baby the end of November or the beginning of December. When we told the kids, I put together a treasure hunt with riddle type clues. With each clue, the kids found a color-coded letter that they had to unscramble to figure out the big surprise. They did a good job figuring it all out and were really surprised! We are all very excited!
