Mother's Day turned out quite alright! I'd had a rough night Saturday--just my infernal insomnia acting up--so when I went to teach Sunday School, I was TIRED! But I had a fun craft planned to do with the kids, and Nicole, Marla, and Kaitlyn all pitched in to help. We took pictures of the kids, and Nicole printed them right there on site. (Note to anyone wealthy who wants to buy me a gift ... I WANT ONE OF THOSE! Can you imagine, being able to print off your own pictures whenever you want them? How much fun would that be?!? Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked here ...) After we printed the pictures, we painted the kids hands and had them press their prints onto funky colored foam sheet picture frames that I'd cut out with an exacto knife the night before. Then we glued all the pieces together, and ... voila!
After church, I went home to see if Mark would be able to come with us for lunch, but he wasn't up to it. I left him in bed and went to my parents' house for a BBQ. My dad was a prince, wouldn't let Mom or me do any work. (I asked him once, and he replied, "No, you may NOT help." Okay. Works for me!) If was so tired though that I only stayed a couple of hours. Went home and had Kaitlyn watch Brendan so I could take an actual nap (i.e. the kind behind closed doors rather than one-eye-open-dozing-on-the-couch kind of nap I tend to take a lot lately). It was just ... yummy! When I woke up, it was dinner time, and the kids, of course, wanted to know what was for dinner. Mark rose to the occasion, delivering a scrumptious chicken/pepper/onion dish with a tangy sauce that he'd created from scratch. He was pretty worn out once he was done cooking. He's not used to standing that long at a stretch--which made it all the more special to me.
