My Mothers Day

My husband and kids made Mothers Day so special for me!

I got to sleep in, then when I woke up, they started bringing me gifts. And, Jas had my coffee ready for me while he was preparing my breakfast in bed.

Rhett made this for me at school. When you open the jar, there are several strips of paper that he wrote sweet words of affirmation on. He said that when I'm feeling sad or having a bad day, to just pull one out and it'll make me feel better :)
Each of the kids decided what they would write on their slips.

Here is the first one I pulled out :) (having trouble with not being able to rotate my pictures.)

"You is kind. You is smart and you is important."

Not gonna lie. Made me cry :)

They brought me magazines to read while I was lounging in bed.

One by one, they each brought me a card. And flowers too!

And a real plant! I'm going to try real hard to keep it alive!! I also got a fun DVD.

Gracie also made me this all by herself :)

When I opened up her homemade envelope, I found several sticky notes that were stapled together. She wrote sweet things on each one. Here are a few of my favorites.

"I love snuggling with you."

"You are awesome"

"I love you so much"

After a few hours of lounging, we headed to the Naturals game with Jason's parents and Uncle Roger.

After coming home from the game early for the kids to work on reading, projects and talent show practice, the kids wanted to make and serve us dinner.
Of course, being Kennett kids, they had to go all out and get in costume.
Sissy did most of the actual work with me while the boys were giggling and getting in costume.

I got all the food going, with her help, then they finished it off and served us.

Stirring gravy is serious business :)

Crazy kids! We were laughing so hard!!

This kid had a crazy Australian/Scottish accent going on.

We sat outside with relaxing music playing and the kids served us our dinner and also dessert! It was actually quite relaxing and nice to have a few moments alone to enjoy dinner and conversation. And those kids.... They kept coming out to check on us. And entertain us :) I so wish I would've had a camera rolling the entire time. There were 3 or 4 different times that we were laughing so hard we had tears rolling and we couldn't catch our breath! So, so fun! Oh my! Those kids are just awesome!  And Rhett kept apologizing for the shenanigans and giving us suggestions on how we could make our evening have more romance ;)Like bringing us out a cup of sprite with 2 straws in it to share!!Hilarious!!!

What a fun and memorable Mothers Day. I'm so very blessed that those 3 sweet kids call me Mom. Thankful.
