Mother's Day.

I had a great Mother's Day last Sunday. Mike got up when the kids woke up and made breakfast. He usually does that anyway on Sundays, but this time he loaded the dishwasher and wiped down the kitchen. Then he got all the kids to pick up their rooms and clean around the house. Anytime I tried to do anything he would stop me. We all relaxed together and watched The Terminator 2 (not my pick). Then the kids gave me their gifts which they each wrapped themselves. So cute. I got a new scrapbook album, a pack of cardstock, a scented candle and some Noxema face wash. Jimmy made a big heart out of cardstock and wrote a poem. He hasn't written me little love notes since he was in first grade. Helen made a butterfly pin at school and filled out a sheet about her mom. And my Alex made up this poem about how to be his mom:

 

It doesn't get any better than this!
