Mother's Day

Today was my 4th mother's day and 1st with two kids! Daniel took Will shopping yesterday because waiting 'til the last minute is his style and because Will can't keep a secret. First thing he said to me when he walked in the door was "we got you a movie mom!" Haha...Daniel was not very happy about this, "we just got done talking about this in the car, Will. You can't tell mommy what we got her." Good thing was he didn't know or couldn't remember which movie they bought and kept telling me it was Megamind or Madagascar. He also asked me all night if I was ready to open my presents. He was excited and it was sweet.

This morning Daniel had a sweet and very meaningful happy mother's day blog post open on my computer with my gifts on my desk.Will helped me open his gift, Tangled which I almost bought Maggie for Easter just 'cause I kinda wanted it. :) Then he helped me open a Cricut Essentials value pack for the Cricut Expression! The machine has shipped but won't arrive 'til next week and I'm super excited. I have wanted one of these for years...a scrapbooker's dream machine and it's not limited to scrapbooking, but any craft you can think of! And the sweetest part is Daniel used money from his game fund to pay for it. Such sacrificial love my husband has for me, I love you babe!!!

I missed what Daniel said was the part of the church service I really would've liked because I was paged to get Maggie. She wanted some alone time with mommy for Mother's Day, haha! Every year Buddy honors the mothers by having us all stand and then sit according to age so the last mom standing is the oldest. Then in honor of all mothers, the oldest one in the service receives a rose (or two as sometimes there's a tie). Anyway, this year he did something different...said the old ladies were fighting in the halls (a joke).... so he had all the women stand because even if some women aren't moms, many are spiritual 'moms' within the church. Daniel said he explained further after I left and he would've like me to hear it, but my beautiful baby girl needed mommy and she's my gift from God, along with Will, so I was answering the call!

The weather was warm and beautiful and we enjoyed a nice lunch at Dale's Southern Grille where they gifted me a bookmark and a free red velvet cupcake. Not my favorite kind of cake, so Daniel and Will ate most of it. After nap time we watched Tangled and took a walk to the neighborhood park where Will met a new friend and we saw our friend, Brett, who we rarely see due to traveling. The kids were cranky (seriously) which is possibly becoming a trend...Will was very cranky on my 2nd mother's day due to teething. And I did try to take a nap but overall it was a delightful day and I wouldn't change a thing!! Well, it would be nice for us to see our moms but since mother's day is on Sunday and we live it out town, that makes things difficult. Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there...I hope you had a wonderful day too!
