Mother's Day

Yesterday was Mother's Day. My boys were very good to me. Throughout the week at school and scouts, they made me little gifts. They couldn't wait until Sunday so they gave them to me as they made them.

 Derek made me a little terra-cotta pot he painted and put pinto beans and it holds a flower pen. He kept telling me all week he was making it, but it was a surprise. It turned out cute. One of the cuter "flower pot pens" I have seen. Dax wrote me a Thank you note at scouts. He even had his leader sign it because he wanted to be nice to me. He is a sweet boy. In the note, he said, "Thank you for being my Mom, thanks for feeding me, thanks for caring for me, thanks for giving me a brother." I guess he is only thankful to have one brother, not two. At school, he made a little box with his picture on it. He is making a goofy face in the picture, (I hope he posed like that on purpose). He put little coupons in it like breakfast in bed, help with the dishes, spend time with you, and the one that makes me laugh is "play outside" He knows I have to force him to play outside. Then they did make me breakfast yesterday and cleaned up the kitchen, and gave me my most favorite treat of all ...cake. Treyson gave me the best gift. Earlier in the week, he started sleeping 11- 12 hrs at night. He was sleeping about 7-8. But when you put him to bed at 7p.m. he still wakes me up at 3:00. Life is good, we all sleep normal hours now.
