The Most Wonderful Day of the Year!

As a mom, you get a few really great days...first day of school, birthdays, holidays where you can dress the kids in the most over the top outfits ever...However, none even come close to the most wonderful day of the year: MOTHER'S DAY! Mom's (especially of 3 and 1 year olds) have carte blanche to do whatever they want. Breakfast in bed - DONE! Afternoon nap - DONE! No diaper changing - DONE! It's glorious.

This year was a fantastic Mother's Day. I slept in (until 8:15 mind you, but beggers can't be choosers), had a delicious breakfast prepared for me, was showered with gifts, took the kids to swim class, had a lovely lunch with the family, and spent the afternoon laying in bed watching Bravo. It was truly amazing.

The above picture is something Ben did in school. It's hilarious on many levels. The fact that he still loves playing garbage man, the fact that he noted my favorite color as blue (which is HIS favorite color) and the fact that it is IN WRITING that I am the best at cleaning. I got lots of great presents on Mother's Day, but this one will be pretty hard to top next year.
