Me and S
Me, H, & O
Me and H
Me, J, and H (love that look on H's face!)
The boys bought me a chocolate and books for Mother's Day this year. They know me so well. The Principles of Uncertainty" by Maira Kalman, "What It Is" by Lynda Barry, and "The Arrival by Shaun Tan. They look really neat. I am excited to read them.
Church was nice. S and O sang with the Primary. I had no idea O knew that many words to those songs! It was also heartwarming to see S take O's hand and walk up to the stand with him and look for him to bring him back to our bench when they were done.
After church H and I had naps while S and O played and J prepared dinner. While the meat marinated we went to J's mom's to wish her a Happy Mother's Day!

J grilled a yummy dinner while the boys played and I watched, sighing contentedly, glad to be a mom. I wondered if it was backwards that I was resting and J working this day because, after all, if he had not contributed those defective Y-chromosomes, I wouldn't be blessed with this houseful of boys. I really have him to thank for making me a mother. Shouldn't I be doing all the work today? Then on Father's Day he could labor in honor of the woman who supplied 3 eggs to give him 3 sons? Think about it.
A dinner conversation between J and S last week:
J: Do you know what Sunday is?
S: Yeah, it's Mother's Day.
J: We need to go get mommy something special and treat her extra special on Mother's Day.
S: I know! We can make her breakfast and dinner and get her a present. Then next month is Father's Day. (slight pause) Why isn't there a Child's Day?
J (under his breath): Every day is Child's Day.
S (of the bionic ears): What?! No it's not!
J: Oh yeah? Well, don't we make you breakfast everyday? And lunch and dinner?
S (who doesn't handle being proven wrong very well): Baaahhhhhhhh! (After all, what better thing to do when you're embarrassed and incorrect than yell?)
J: See?
Logic is the end all and be all for S
