When Kevin asked Simon where they should take me for Mother's Day dinner, he replied "ba-ba-ba-ba-ba!" Because advertising does indeed works, he knows the McDonald's jingle! I thought this would indicate a not-so-great Mother's Day but I was wrong - I had a great Mother's Day!
The boys bought me a new bike a few weeks ago so I knew that was my big Mother's Day present and we actually went to Pizza House for dinner on Friday night so, by the time Mother's Day actually rolled around, I wasn't expecting much. But, Kevin let me sleep in and then Harmon came to wake me with another beautiful picture he drew (he LOVES to draw)! Kevin got me some beautiful flowers and he intercepted the boys' Mother's Day projects from school so I could open them before breakfast. Simon made me a very cool bracelet and Harmon did handprints for me (I love handprints).
Breakfast was chocolate chip pancakes and then we all took our time getting ready for the day. It was a gorgeous day so I wanted to spend it watching Michigan Baseball at Fisher Stadium. Even though we lost - we're quite terrible this season - we had a great time. Harmon rocked his nacho, we all got some sun, the boys got to run the bases (twice) and we got to see Schneids!
I usually read to Simon on Sunday nights but, on this night, me and the boys curled up in bed and I read to both of them. Now that Simon is a little older, I need to do this more. Simon then allowed me to rock him to sleep. This doesn't happen often these days but I like to think he wanted to give me ONE MORE Mother's Day present. Even though I was missing my dear Isabel, I realize how truly blessed I am to be the mother of such wonderful boys. I love them more than anything!
