Things were Good.

Oh wonderful Mufers-Day. Oh lovely Mufers-Day. How special & loved was I. I hope you were as well.

As is tradition on Sunday mornings, I got up & threw Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Bite in the oven & told everyone to "Please. Be. Quiet. It's too early to be awake." (Oh, insert note, Friday Morning on the Today Show.....New Kids On the Block!!! Set your TiVos.)

When BabyGirl woke up she quickly informed the boys of the momentous occasion & everyone made a mad dash for their underwear drawers. The bounty was brought forth to be gushed over while B.B. cried that he couldn't find his Mufers-Day for me. Then he repeatedly told me, "I am SO GLAD it's Mufers-Day, Mommy!! Aren't you glad it's Mufers-Day?! I am so glad!"

#1 Son made me a coupon book at school. While I may not get quite the CVS deals Aunt Silverbelle's been garnishing lately, I do get "help in the kitchen" 3 times, the pets fed 10 times, his room cleaned once, and 50 hugs. That beats free air freshener any day.

BabyGirl gave me a tiny flower pot with a plant starting plug & a tiny envelope of strawberry seeds. We're hoping they grow & we didn't inadvertently wash the seeds away when we watered them. She also glued a poem in the yellow card & wrote "Happy Mother's Day" in her fanciest hand writing. There's a purple flower with a message written on the back of each petal. "Thank you for helping me with my homework." "Thank you for taking me to Chuck E. Cheese."
"Thank you for buying me Barbies."

B.B. (and the other kids) gave me a card with puppies on it. Husband wrote Mommy on the card & let each kid color a letter. Then they eached picked a puppy & wrote their names under it (that's what I intterupted Saturday morning). Last night he told me about all the drama involved in picking the puppies & coloring the letters....it's a wonder the card survived until Sunday morning!

At church the boys & Bitsy made cards (by "made" I mean the teachers wrote their names in the cards) in Sunday School with a poem about planting flowers together. Each card has a pack of flower seeds stapled inside. I now have Marigolds, African Daisies, and California Poppies to plant.

After chruch the kids & I came home & picked up Husband. We headed to town for lunch. The kids all wanted McDonalds, so we went through the drive-thru for Happy Meals & Husband's lunch. Then they took me to the Chinese buffet for a take-out tray. We parked the van at the park & chowed down (couldn't get out of the van due to rain & horrible winds).

After lunch we stopped by the new Family Video store in town & ended up with 6 movies for $3! They have great deals on older movies & half off movies for the first 30 days. We got The Bee Movie, Superman III, a Garfield cartoon, a Barbie Fairytopia movie, The Good Shepard, and Vanity Fair. So we spent the remainder of the day lounging around the house, watching videos, and wrestling.

It was a good day. And I have leftovers for today!

Little BIL flies into Indy today. Please pray he makes it home safely! We're all anxious to see him!
