A Wonderful Mother's Day

I hope all the mother's had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. I had a fantastic day. It started in the morning when Dominic got up with the kids at 6:30 and let me sleep in. It was great. Then I was called downstairs for breakfast. Dominic made banana blueberry pancakes and bacon. It was very yummy!

All the kids were already sitting at the table waiting for me and there were gifts and cards waiting for me too. I got a beautiful fern for our back porch, a big wooden barrel for planting my herbs, some workout clothes, some summer pajamas which I really needed, and an armband that holds my iPod when I go for a walk. I love everything that I got and it was all very thoughtful.

Another big bonus--I didn't change a single diaper all day yesterday! Dominic changed them all. I didn't cook all day or do anything but relax. It was very nice. Dominic even did all of the laundry. The only thing that I really did was go out with Lenny for a little while to look for some flowers and get some potting soil. Lenny and I had a great time together. I wish it was Mother's Day every day.

Dominic tried very hard to get a Wii for me for Mother's Day which I really want. He has been trying for a month but according to the stores they are gone 1/2 hour after they are unloaded from the trucks. He said that he is really determined to get me one now that it is such a challenge. If anyone has any tips or good locations to buy them let us know. From what I hear, you can really get a good workout playing a lot of those games. Dominic couldn't believe that I wanted a Wii but now he is excited to get one too.

Thank you so much, Dominic, for a wonderful day! You really are blog-worthy!

What an awesome day you had - a FULL day without changing a diaper - Dominic is defintely blog worthy :-) I'm so glad you enjoyed your day - you're a great mommy!

And the chipped tooth doesn't look like much fun, but at least it's a baby too...and there wasn't any blood. Silly train!

Just catching up...man, a lot has happened over there. Your mother's day was just plain perfect!! Good job Dominic!

Brendan was pushed down at school last summer and his tooth was injured, so chipped, but it has turned a little darker and the dentist told us the same thing. The trauma to the tooth caused some discoloration, and we could do some cosmetic stuff to it, but it will eventually be gone, so why bother...poor little Lenny, but I feel worse for Dominic!

Awesome mother's day - I'll have to have Shane read your blog to get some ideas for next year -- especially the part about letting you sleep in!
