Mother's Day was wonderful this year. I ate breakfast in bed and sipped on iced coffee while I explored the internet until 9:30. I got cards and a Starbucks Giftcard and a Lego figure to build with my big boy. I also (finally) got my wedding ring resized and I'm so happy to see it perched happily back on my finger. My husband spiled me and made an at-home winerary for us to enjoy complete with never empty glasses of wine and a yummy cheese and chocolate plate. I even got my most wanted gift-the picture that you see above. I love having pictures of my boys and I and I don't even care that they are not looking at the camera.
I really love being a mom and I think Mother's Day is the perfect day to sit back and reflect on it.
Drake holds such a special place in my heart because he made me a Momma. He is the one who gave me that very special gift. I love to laugh and cuddle and play with him. But I love to talk to him the most because he is interesting and witty. I'm pretty proud of the little boy that he is becoming.
I often times feel like Charlie got the better pieces of me as a mom-the more relaxed and happy and at-home-with-motherhood me and I'm really happy that I was able to give that to him. He makes me smile so big everyday just by looking at him because he has this little sparkle in his eye that just totally melts you. He is pure sweetness with just enough sour thrown in to keep it interesting.
I never thought five years ago that today I would be the Momma of 2 little boys, but they make so, so happy. It is becoming pretty evident in my life that God made me to be a boy mom and I hold that honor with great regard.
And then of course I think of my own Mom on Mother's Day and I get it. I get why she would and still does hurt when I hurt and how she literally feels my pain. I get the sacrifices. I get the canceled dinners out because of sick kids. I get the way you will search high and low searching for the perfect present to put a smile on your child's face. I get the sleepless night worrying about things out of your control. And I especially get how much she loves me. I get it all. Love you Mom!

I love their french fries.
ReplyDeleteI have loved, loved, loved their 6 piece kids meals since I was a kiddo. Now I have a kiddo of my own and he loves their chicken nuggets too! We also mark on our calendars, Dress Like a Cow day so we can get free food. The first year we went after our son was just a month old, my husband kept referring to my son as his "baby calf." My husband thought he was pretty funny!
