Mother's Day 2011

I LOVE Mother's Day!  J and the kids are always so thoughtful!

They started up the spoiling Saturday afternoon when J and the kids washed the Silver Bullet for me.

Don't think this good deed did not go without a small amount of michief :)  Do you see the 2 gallon bucket of car washing soap on the left-hand side of the picture...well, while J was helping our neighbor with a stuck window and I was distracted by the Better Homes and Garden magazine in my lap - C and G decided they needed to make MORE bubbles.  So of course they dumped the remaining (at least 1/4 gallon) of soap into the bucket :)

Plotting....

Looks like G enjoyed all those bubbles

Attempt # 1 at a group shot...

Attempt # 2...J's no better than the kids...

I give up - this is as good as it's gonna get :)

Meanwhile, I'm over here...have I mentioned that I LOVE Mother's Day!

For supper we ordered up one of my favorite meals - Hawaiian Pizza (from THE BEST local pizza place around!) and Regular (fully loaded, fully caffeinated awesomeness) Coca-Cola!

This morning J and C got up extra early, put the coffee on (SOOOOOOO important!) and brought back Bojangles biscuits in time for breakfast before church.  

After breakfast, the kids gave me "their" presents.  A new set of pjs and a robe.  But my FAVORITE part of the present was the card.  J picked it out (so of course it was humorous) but instead of just signing (or having the kids sign) their names.  He asked them what they wanted to "say" to me.  Here is what they said:

C "wrote":

You look pretty and I love you.

We love you Mom.

You love me.  I love you.

G "wrote":

"Happy Mom's Day." and she told J she wanted to give me a flower so J drew a flower

Geezzzz I love these kids! :)

These are some pictures J took right before church.  Of course, there wasn't ONE picture where everyone was looking and smiling :)

We went to church then home for lunch (J cooked spaghetti).  Naps in the pm (ahhhh!)
