At 7:30 a.m. on Sunday Richard and I awoke to the sound of the kids singing Happy Mothers' Day (to the tune of Happy Birthday.) In they came with a tray of scrambled eggs, bagel toast and shredded wheat cereal. It was all very delicious.
Breakfast was followed by cards and gifts made at school (a book mark, a fan and a painted pot with a flower in it.) Richard gave me a movie. I also received some great coupons for "folding clothes while you are watching a movie," "give orders," "make you confterble with pellows," "kisses and hugs," and "free mashose (massage)." I have almost used them all up.
After all the fun I got ready for church and had quite a pleasant morning. On the way out the door I went into the kitchen for the first time. Yeah, beautiful. What you can't see in the picture are the eggs that Baby R cracked into that open drawer.
After church Richard gallantly cleaned up the mess and made me my Mothers' Day meal, pizza from Papa Murphy's. I got a nice long nap, went for a walk with the family, chatted with my mom and Richard's mom, and had an awesome day. Thanks guys.

I'm glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day! I am dying over the cracked eggs in the drawer...
That's so great! (I laughed so hard...a day in the life of a mother!) Thanks for sharing.
I can't really see that you're kitchen is a mess, so I'll assume that's what you were implying. I felt the same way on Mother's Day. I was glad to have the "day off" but by the end of the day I was digging my fingernails into my palms thinking about how I was going to have to clean up the HUGE mess in my kitchen, living room, bedroom, etc.
I'm reminded of something in the RS lesson today that we are supposed to overlook small offenses and imperfections.
I miss you, but I'm glad things have worked out for you in Oregon!!! I am often reminded of words of wisdom from you from comments, talks, lessons at church and also from our runs. You're such a great person and I thank you for letting me get to know you. Keep up the good work! I'm always reading your blog, glad to see you continuing all your hard work for your family. You're a great example.
Fabulous! Now...how do I teach my kids to make coupon books with free moshages (was that the spelling?)???
I love kids!
It is so fun to find your blog, I love your family picture!! You have to love kids!! I hope all is well, Miss you guys.
