Mother's Day

I had a very nice Mother's Day! I got to rest and relax! Kirk got up and made us cinnamon rolls in the morning, we went to church, then came back to relax some. Brady made me a Wonderful card, if you come over I'll have to show it to you!! Also, they made Mom's breakfast in bed bags at school, I ate mine later in the day though, they also to me out to dinner to El Campesino's, it was really yummy and I ate WAY too much!
Kirk and the kids also got me a very "unique" gift! One that scared me half to death! haha I unlocked and opened the door when we got home from church and I about jumped out of my skin! I thought a black dog was sitting in my mud room! But no it wasn't, it was a black lion!! I had to laugh...Here's the story...about 2 weeks ago we were all at Lowe's looking around. We went to lawn and garden and we were by the lawn ornamnets. Kirk jokingly said " Ohhh, I found your Mother's Day gift!!" A large lion! We laughed and moved on. Well, SATURDAY Kirk went to run his "errands" with Brady I guess Kirk asked him what he wanted to get me for Mother's Day and Brady started going on about this lion at Lowes. Kirk had no idea what he was talking about, but he was going to go there anyway to probably get some flowers. So they got in the store and Brady marched on over to where the lions where and said "This daddy!" Ohhhh! He was adimate that this is the gift I should get. My son has a good memory!



We have dubbed the Lion "Henry"! So far he's a good protector, doesn't require any feedings, does not go to the bathroom, doesn't smell and just requires a slight dusting every now and then.

The weekend

Friday, Kirk took a comp day and we were able to go to IN and visit Bonnie for a couple of hours. It was so nice. We hadn't seen her since Christmas. Robin and Liz got there later and Brady had a fun time with them, it was pretty funny when he told them that their rooms were messy and they needed to clean them. It was a really good visit.

Well, once we got home things took a turn for the worse with little Bethany. She had been acting a little off the whole day, but I knew she was teething and one of her 2yr molars was starting to pop through. As I was getting dinner ready, she was crying a lot and Kirk was trying to soothe her and hold her. Just as I was getting ready to sit down with my food and Oops! Up it all comes out of Bethany. She never got sick again after that but the whole weekend she was battling a 104 temp off and on. So I stayed home with Bethany on Saturday while Brady and Kirk went to soccer and T-ball. Saturday night was hard, Kirk ended up sleeping with her in the rocking chair. I decided to stay home with her Sunday morning too. She still had a high temp and the Motrin hadn't kicked in by the time we needed to go. She slept a lot yesterday, which I think helped. She finally ate some applesauce last night and also some crackers. This morning she was doing a lot better. No more temp. PTL!!

Other than a sick child, my Mother's Day was relaxing. I got two pots of flowers that Brady planted himself from Brady and Bethany. They are very pretty. Since we were unable to go out to eat like what Kirk had planned, Kirk ordered some Chinese food which I had been wanting. It was SOOO yummy!
