Happy Belated Mothers Day




I just wanted to wish everyone a "Belated" Mother's Day. The day started off really well we went to the famous Little America Mother's Day Brunch and I proceeded to eat a lot of food. They had made to order omelets, waffles, ham, prime rib and of course the chocolate fountain. Sean LOVES the chocolate, well I think everybody does, but not as much as him. I had to force him to eat a waffle before we had chocolate. I have learned that he likes the chocolate covered fruit (that still counts as a serving of fruit, right!), but he really loves the skewers that you put the fruit on. He just wanted more sticks (as he called them) let's just say that he was covered with chocolate. People stopped eating just to watch him eat his chocolate fruit on a stick. (I wish I had my camera, but I wasn't a blogger yet) I had to take him out to the bathroom to clean him up and we had to walk through the hallway lined with people waiting to get in. All I heard were people snickering and how much somebody enjoyed the chocolate fountain. I think I heard someone say he looks good enough to eat. Oh Well, I had a great day and I enjoyed getting homemade gifts from my wonderful children. I would just like to leave you with a poem Sophie wrote for me, it's called--

My Mother

My mom is really delightful,
She is very great to me!
She helps me with school,
And she is kind as can be!

Whatever she does,
she can do very well!
When she works at a shop,
She know the way to sell! (Side note, she drew a picture of me at the GAP)

She may be a little naggy,
And make me play with my brother,
And we may get into a fight,
So my little brother gets my mother!

My mom is so sweet,
A heart so tender,
She may be a little tense,
But I still love her!

(Another Side note, Sophie had the word mean in the poem, but her teacher suggested the word tense, You know I thought she gave me a funny look when I dropped off her lunch yesterday. Would a mean mother let her child go hungry? I think not and I think that was Wonderful of me to take it to her).

Anyways, one more quote from a lady who I think is Hilarious, Erma Bombeck
"All of us have moments in out lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them." (Don't you just love her!)

Oh and remember children make your life important without them we wouldn't have Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

I love Sophie's poem! It is things like that that make it all worth it, right! ;)

I really missed out on the Mother's Day Brunch! In fact Madison and Taylor were downright mad at Payton for getting sick! We were going to tryout the brunch at Red Rock Casino (all yummy brunches are at the casinos)--we might just have to do it for Father's Day instead!!
