On Mother's Day morning -- for the first time in a long time -- I got to sleep in until 9:45am. If you don't count the getting up at 5:45 to feed Tres. Or the getting up at 8:00 to feed Uno and Dos. But after their respective breakfasts, they all left me alone -- even the baby! (and even DH!) -- and I slept.
The Primary children sang two Mother's Day-themed songs in front of the whole congregation at church. They were adorable (though Dos, who was up in front of everyone for the first time, looked terrified throughout). Of course, if you fast forward your mental images to about an hour later, you will see Uno screaming at me that if she doesn't get her way, she will never never ever sing me those songs again! Even if I ask her to! She'll say no! So there! (::Insert foot stomp and melodramatic arm flail here::)
Quote book quote to follow:
After Uno's tantrum subsided, she collapsed into tears. I asked her why and she cried, "I try to make people do what I say, but nobody ever does. It makes me so sad!"
Wow, can I relate. ;-)
After the girls had a nap, we ate a lovely dinner of burgers and hot dogs DH cooked on the grill, with asparagus, deviled eggs, and strawberry delight to round things out. Friend Todd, in town to share the weekend call schedule (it was technically DH's weekend to work, but Todd is awesome like that) joined us.
Uno gave me a shrinky dink magnet of her hand that she made in preschool last week; Dos and Tres gave me kisses and smiles, respectively (and sleep, remember!). DH got me a freezer chest for the basement so we can accommodate the huge amounts of meat he keeps getting for us (30lb turkeys the past two Thanksgivings; a half a cow this winter) that we've had to store at his nurse's house until now. Oh, and also it will hold lots of frozen pizzas because I'm such a fabulous cook.
(Have I blogged this quote yet? Dos, trying to comfort me: "It's okay, mom! I love your cooking. I just don't like eating your cooking!")
(Honestly, I'm not that bad a cook. I'm just lazy and my children are unintentionally rude about it, lol.)
All in all, it was a lovely day to be a mom. :-)

You got a half cow??? I'm so jealous!
Well apparently DH knows a guy, so we can probably hook you up with some cow if you want it! ;-)
Happy Mother's Day to you! I love you and I love your kids!
Okay, so did Friend Todd tell your DH of Hot Fuzz awesomeness and convince him to watch it? Or did you convince him all on your own? Or have you *GASP!* not watched it yet and are keeping Nick Frost all to yourself? I must know!
