5-8 Mother's Day

Mother's Day 2011

I started off the morning by waking up really early.
Chet told me to go back to bed. I went back to bed and
read & relaxed (a new thing for me). He told me
he was going to make a coffee/breakfast run but then
I heard the front door open 10 minutes later.
It turns out the car battery was dead.
My darling husband thought we could both PUSH a
Honda Odyssey to the end of the driveway
so that the jumper cables from the Explorer would
reach. Ha! We couldn't budge that van a half inch. LOL!
*This wasn't the mom's day I had in mind.*
We finally got it worked out & he and the boys left.

They came back with yummy bagel sandwiches,
Starbucks, & treats. We all piled in the bed and
had a big breakfast.
*Gabriel & Liam+ pastries = a bed full of crumbs*

Gabriel made me a re-usable shopping
bag that he colored himself. I will
take a pic and post later.

Liam & Gabriel.

Mommy & her darling boys.
While the boys were out shopping
I had recorded myself (on cassette tape)
telling each of them, including Chet,
how much I love them:)
I never want their to be any doubt
that they are my everything.

We ended the day by seeing the
movie, Rio. Gabriel & mommy had already
been to see it in 3D but Gabriel loves
it and talks about it so much we went again.
Liam is not a movie guy. He is restless and can
only sit for about 10 minutes, at most.
Gabriel on the other hand, can sit still
and happy for the entire movie AND
previews. Mommy and Gabriel
love movies!!
