Happy Mama's Day!

Here the boys are attempting to say cheese without veering sight from the T.V. I am proud to say that it was an educational video. (Baby Einstein):) Happy Mother's Day to all. It's been a great day for me.

First Jer surprised me with some new clothes he bought for me. They don't fit, but it was very thoughtful and I'll return them later.

Then I went to wake up the boys this morning and I walked right past this gift from Ian. Jer had to point it out to me and I read it to Ian as he was waking up.

It's a cute story book called "Let's Go on a Mommy Date". Potential dates with Mommy are presented but with each one- if it rains, or the movie is too late, or the circus is closed, an alternative is proposed. At the very end, a mommy date can even be a cuddle time or story time which is just as special as a date out. Anyway- a thoughtful and special gift.


Then I walked into Luke's room and walked right over this.

It is a gift certificate to a local tanning salon. I was begging for this gift since my spider veins have spinning webs all up my legs. He even found a coupon in the Nampa Recreation Guide and got one tanning package free.

Jer is so thoughtful and great about creative gifts. It's one of his greatest qualities.

The boys napped and I got some laundry done, watched the Lakers game with Jer and got my 5 mile run in. After dinner, we had a mommy date to do the one thing that any child of mine will learn to do.

Make chocolate chip cookies!!!

The best part? Tasting the product!

But when it was over- this is what Ian had to say.
