Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day!

The whole day was so nice and relaxing.  It started out that way because we decided to go with Mom to church.  And since their second service doesn't start until 11:00 am, we slept in and still had plenty of time to get ready.  I even had my usual poached eggs on toast with orange juice in bed.

And I had time for some pics before leaving...

After church my dad and the kids and I walked home (remember our house backs up to the church's property) while Roddy ran to get Mom her favorite Chinese noodles. 

For lunch, we had sandwiches to keep things simple.  And while I had to fight the urge to get up and help out with whatever needed to be done, I did resist.  I think one day a year is okay to indulge myself with laziness.

My parents and sister and her family spent most of the afternoon with us just hanging out. 

The kids played.  Tammy and I talked homeschool stuff and sorted through hand-me-downs.  We sat on the back porch enjoying the beautiful weather and decided that next year the hubs are going to plan the day for us! Hee hee! Can't wait to see what they come up with.

The Dress

Here is the dress Mom and I worked on the other day. See the cute flower?My sister made it! Isn't it pretty?
