Happy Mothers Day!

This has been my best mothers day ever! Maddie, William and I have been celebrating all weekend. On Thursday Maddie's preschool had a cute little tea party for the moms and grandmas and me and my mom went. Maddie made me cute paper flowers and a vase, and a cute little plaque with her hand print. Her teacher brought potting flowers and soil and every mother and daughter got to make a little fairy garden together. When we got home Maddie said, "Momma I want it to be mothers day everyday!" Sounds good to me.
On Friday I hung out with the kids and took them to the mall. I reeeeaaallly needed a pedicure so I intended on dropping William off at the daycare and taking Maddie with me to get her toes painted, but Willie was so cranky and did not want to let go of me. So instead I dropped Maddie off and Willie went with me and sat somewhat still on my lap as I got my gross feet taken care of. When we got home that evening my mom came over and took the kids shopping and came home with flowers, candles and a card for me. I told her she should wait to give them to me until Sunday but she said, "Mom, everyday is mothers day!" The funniest thing about the card was it was the same exact card as she got me last year. When you open it, it plays a little romantic fanfare song and the kids always play with the one from last year and the batteries are almost dead, so they got another one to play with just in time.
Saturday me and Maddie and my sisters went to Silverwood! It was the first day open all year and we had fun even though it was a little cold. Maddie is big enough to do the big roller coasters and she loved them. I love my brave little woman. This morning Maddie woke me up with a brand new green ipod nano. omg, I am so spoiled. Brian got it for me. So sweet of him to give that to me on mothers day, because I am the mother of his girlfriends kids. We had a fun day. We went to lunch a Ihop and the went and played at Manito Park. My mom had to work all day so we surprised her and stopped in and gave her a card.

I am so amazingly lucky to have such wonderful children and a great boyfriend. I need to get up and do some dishes and fold laundry or something...
