Mother's Day

Denise is having a contest so I thought I would post this: This was a special Mother's Day for me. My husband has never been big on doing things for Valentine's, Mother's Day, and sometimes even my birthday. After almost 12 years of marriage, I've accepted it. I don't necessarily like it, but it's just a part of life. Well, God has been definitely working in his heart and this Mother's Day I could definitely see the difference. In previous years, I try to make a big deal out of Father's Day - homemade cards, T-shirt with kids' handprints, etc. This year he helped the kids make cards for me. Granted, since it's my supplies and it's not organized, he needed me to get all the stuff out, but I was happy to do it. I put all the stuff on the table and left my husband, kids, and our neighbor's son to go to it. Yesterday morning they "surprised" me with their homemade offerings. My 4 year old DS attempted to write I love you on his. It had an "I", an "O", and a "C". He was very proud of his card and I was too. My husband's was decorated with castle's and "Happily Ever After" fairytale stickers (he told me he'd deny it if anyone ask, though!) and other embellishments. I loved it, because it came from his heart and it was fairly creative. The rest of our day include church (where the moms were given chocolate - yeah!); chinese food (my pick); and a trip over to Rochester to hang out at Barnes and Noble and the mall. My hubby bought me a Mocha Frappachino and cardmaking magazine that I had been wanting. It was definitely a good Mother's Day. I didn't have to cook (we bought frozen pizzas at Kwik Trip for dinner) and I got to spend the day with my favorite people. |
