I realized today how lucky I am to be a mom. My kids are pretty much the two most amazing people that I have ever met, known and loved. The fact that they love me no matter what (most days!) is so incredible to me. And the love that I have for them is completely indescribable - you moms out there know exactly what I mean!

Joey explained mothers day to me today, and I listened to him sincerely while trying not to laugh. Did you know that mothers day is the day when all moms are supposed to let their children do whatever they want, and that they are not allowed to say no to them all day? This is what Joey was trying for today! Good shot buddy, but I'm still mom and there's always gonna be rules - even on birthdays, Christmas and mothers day :)

The boys took me out to breakfast today. They wanted to take me to A&W since its my favourite restaurant (thanks for letting me know that!). We got there around 8:45 and it was closed! I couldn't believe it! So we decided to go to McDonalds..... I should say that Jay & Joey decided to go to McD's! We were in the drive-thru when Joey decided to tell Jason that if you take someone out to breakfast you eat IN THE RESTAURANT, not pick it up and eat at home! I told Joey that it was ok - on Fathers Day, we'll take Jason to breakfast.... drive to Zehrs and pickup a box of corn flakes and bring him home to eat it. When we got up to the window to pay, Jason decided that it was better to pick up the order inside, so we ate at McD's!!! Way to go Joey - you really made your point today!!!!

The boys gave me the BIGGEST card in the world today, with some great drawings in it. We spent lots of time outside this afternoon, and both boys were awesome for me. Chris even slept for about 2 hours this afternoon (a great mothers day gift!!!!). Joey had a ball in the backyard with Farley and daddy, playing soccer and on his swings. Chris even tried the slide today, and I think he liked it. I'll eventually get out there with the camera and get some pictures of them on the playset.

Another week ahead of me, but a long weekend next week! I can't wait, and I hope that the weather will be sunny, warm and DRY!!! NO RAIN!!! I can always hope, right!

I hope that everyone had a great mothers day today. Now we just have to figure out how we can be treated like princesses every day :)
