It was nice and relaxing because I didn't have to feel guilty about not doing a single load of laundry or dishes or anything else that I didn't want to do.
After Gregg and Carter made me breakfast (bacon and biscuits & gravy) I spent the morning playing with my camera while Gregg took charge of the boys. Awesome!
Later Matt, Mandy and their brood came over for a little Mother's Day BBQ. Mandy and I got to hang out and visit, (and feed babies of course - Mandy has 5 month old triplets,) while Gregg and Matt took care of dinner and the older kids.
Matt even did the dishes after dinner. It was a perfect day!
I did get some Mother's Day gifts.
Flowers - a favorite of mine.
Fancy Chocolates - Okay it was actually a bag of Peanut M&M's, but I did eat the whole thing with out having to share!
Carter gave my the sweetest gift a Mother could ask for, besides the beautiful poster he made for me at school that is. I had asked Mandy to snap a quick picture of Me and the Kids as the evening was winding down. Her and I were previewing it on the camera and I told her something like, "Thanks this is great. Too bad Gregg wasn't in here I could have had a nice little family shot." Before I even noticed that he'd left the room, Carter was dragging his dad in by the hand and telling Kyle to get back on the couch for another picture. He said, "I got him Mommy. Now you can have your family picture." Gregg isn't a fan of posing for pictures, but how could he say no when Carter took the initiative to give Mommy what she wanted on Mother's Day. He just grinned and sat down next to me. My Carter is such a sweet boy!
