Hello and Happy Mother's Day!
I walked downstairs this morning to a homemade poster, beautifully designed by my baby Kara (she's 9...although I still tell everyone she's 6, don't ask me why...)
My glorious morning included a special-request breakfast of Eggs Benedict, one of my very favorites. I forgot to get a picture of it before it disappeared, so here's an Internet photo (it looked JUST like this):
We never have done the "breakfast in bed" thing...I'm afraid once I'm up, I'm up, and I'm a little too antsy to STAY in bed! So, we all ate my breakfast request...at the table.
I received fun cards from the kids, and got a yummy pastry at the end of church. Teresa and Kara picked some flowers from the yard for our table decoration.
Right now I'm typing after Frank shooed me out of the kitchen...he's making (gasp) BANANA CREAM PIE before he starts dinner! (Who needs Marie Calendar when we have Frank?)The someone-else-makes-the-food part of the day is really my highlight.
Happy Mom's Day to my awesome mom, and my exceptional Grandma! (If I live to be 98, I want to be JUST LIKE YOU, and I'm not even kidding. I think I will be a taller 98-year-old, though. That part's out of my control. :) )
Have a great day and week!

Banana Cream Pie? Wow. I'm impressed. How'd it turn out?
Happy Mother's Day to you and your mom!
I DID get breakfast in bed - a bowl of cereal and a glass of juice delivered by my favorite 12 year old son! Very cool........flowers and a new CTR ring from the fiancee. Glad your day was special!
You know what I did this year for the first time EVER? I told the kids that I didn't want breakfast this year. Crazy huh? I don't think I will do that again. Michelle worked hard though with the dinner. Coconut shrimp with all the trimmings. She loves to cook and I think is looking more forward to cooking at the dorms than anything.
