Happy Mother's Day to Me!

Mother's Day was great this year. After our normal get-up-and-go-to-church routine, DH, the mini and I went out for brunch at a blues cafe. The food was decent, though nothing spectacular. The best part was the live jazz band. The mini couldn't sit still - much to the entertainment of both the band members and the other restaurant patrons, she just had to get up and dance! I had so many people comment on how proud I must be that I had a continuous blush and silly grin for almost the whole meal. After lunch, we came home and we all took a long nap - bliss! Then, DH made dinner for us. It was a really relaxing day for me. On top of that, at school last week, the mini made a Mother's Day card for me (she made another one at home that was totally cool) that included her handprints and a poem. Perhaps not your traditional M-Day with flowers and candy, etc, but totally satisfying in it's own right. Hope yours was just as great!


The pictures are not great, but hey, it was the best we could do!












The mini is sitting 4th from the right in the picture.









The poem on the card says this:

I use my hands to work,
I use my hands to play.
I use my hands to wave
And I use my hands to pray.

Today my hands were busy,
Making something just for you.
These flowers mean "I love you"
And "Happy Mother's Day" too.
