my actual mothers day.

started at midnight( like all days do) i was painting the sign for my mom , and the chalkboard for Lance's mom nothing like putting off the hand crafted gift 'til the last minute, even though i had the supplies for weeks. Lance wished me happy mothers day at midnight.

i stayed up and posted pictures, and another long wordy post. shocker i know.

i woke up in the morning to the 4 big kids who'd gone shopping with dad at the ultra classy and my ultimate fave DOLLAR store! THEY CAME IN with helium balloons, and gift bags filled with Candy(paxton had opened 2 different candy bars and gave them to me a York with a couple bites missing, and a giant crunch bar seriously pulled the out of the bag and showed me) since they all unwrapped them for me, and cards, and, stuffed animals. plus the school crafts, and cards. they were so excited!
and i chalked it up to a FABULOUS thoughtful gifts.

see, i would have taken them to buy gifts, and then gotten them all a treat for themselves. so see who could resist the crispety crunchy chocolate , when you have none for yourself. at least Paxton still gave it to me. i would have eaten it all myself, and pretended like there never were those candy bars.

to be continued...

pierce isn't feeling good, i'll go lay down and hold him and post the rest of the day later

there is more.

I'll be waiting to hear more. So funny that there were bites out of the candy. I love the little things they make at school, and how excited they are to give them to you.

Hi, again. Cute story about your candy with bites out of it! Jake got mad at me during the week and ate my candy bar and ripped up my card! So nice. So, a candy bar with some pieces missing is sounding really good to me! Sounds like they came through! Yeaaa!

Love the candy with bite marks!!!!!!!!!

Our way of getting presents is to tell each other what we want (I email him PICTURES even). Then one small surprise gift. I learned this lovely trick from Emily Watts book that is on my unbalanced woman blog. Makes holidays MUCH better when their is a gift involved!!

I love it! What a fun way to wake up. (if waking up can ever be fun anyway) So funny that he took a bite. hahahaha I love the $1 store idea I am so dropping that into my hubby's bucket that would take away my gift guilt and let the kids feel more empowered.

Hope Pierce is feeling better soon.
