So, because Cary has to work on Mothers day, and we have yet to see one when:

A. a child did not throw up violently
B. a child did not throw a hissy fit
C.A child did not throw up violently in church
D. a child did not throw a hissy fit in church
or
E. All of the above,

my hubby has decreed that mothers day at our house last all weekend. Not a bad idea. Cary and I started out the weekend by going out to dinner sans throwing up or hissy fit throwing kids. It was really nice to spend time with him, and I actually ate normal food!

My boys each gave me their mothers day presents they made in school (except Nathan, He said I had to wait until Sunday...)  They were all so sweet and tender. Moms get such an unnatural kick out of spray painted juice bottles and egg carton flowers. We wouldn't trade them for all the lalique or lladro' in the world.
