Mama's Day

The night before Mother's Day Jess and the older two went to the store for groceries. I figured they'd get me something for the next day too, and when they came home the kids were so excited to tell me how daddy got some snacks and ate WAY too much. They seemed overly excited about it so I turned around and Jess had a giant belly, clearly hiding something under his tshirt. A while later I walked into the living room, and Paige was writing on a card. She looked surprised to see me and quickly said "Oh, I'm just writing this card for....LILY." and giggled nervously. I just smiled and pretended to believe her.

So the next morning I woke up to breakfast in bed, cards, and a balloon (Jess's belly from the night before).
It was really sweet. My favorite part was how excited Paige was, telling me about all the ways they "tricked" me the night before. :)

I got to go get some new shoes, including wedding shoes for Cason, and also Neely.
Then I got to order a couple things I've been wanting, and we went to the art fair. I didn't see anything I couldn't live without, but Paige made another glass bird with the silly hair, filled with that colorful sand.
Caso got a dinosaur marionette, which he loves, but we of course have to untangle every 17 seconds. Jess was making him dance for them in the car.
Cason wanted a turn, and he somehow tangled him up THIS badly:
in like 5 seconds.

So don't buy marionettes for toddlers, unless you want to do LOTS of untangling.

Then we came home and Jess did lots of dishes for me. :)

I hope all the wonderful moms we know had a great day!
