Mother's Day

May 13, 2012
I got the royal treatment today!

Jeff got up with the kids (twice if you count Cole waking up at 5 a.m. because he'd kicked the covers off and was cold) and helped Pearl make me breakfast in bed. He knows pancakes aren't my favorite -it's what I get for not going grocery shopping before Sunday, leaving nothing to eat - but wanted to treat me to something he knew would make me smile and laugh. It's kind of a running joke that you never serve mom breakfast in bed after the Cheerio incident when I was growing up. I may or may not have decided my mom deserved breakfast in bed and tripped on my Dad's shoe sending Cheerios flying all over their bed and floor.

It was very sweet of him. And Pearl. I even got a rose from Cole!

But the best Mother's Day present was having Pearl tell Jeff she was going to, "be good all day, not fight with Mom, let Mom comb her hair the way she wants, let Mom pick out my church dress, pick up all my toys, and listen because that's what you're supposed to do for Mother's Day." It was a long list and by 5 p.m. poor Pearl was down right worn out from being on her best behavior.

Happy Mother's Day to all the fabulous women in my life!
