Mother's Day part 1

This was one of the best Mother's day's I have ever had. It started off being able to sleep in till 8:30-but I got up a little earlier-not used to sleeping so late. Dave had taken the boys to get roses and a huge helium balloon.It is gigantic and I love it. They also got donuts-which we have like 1 to 2 times a year. Boy, do they taste good. And yes, had to have my morning oatmeal and then Dave also cooked up some yummy sausage. Now it was present time. I got a gift certificate for the scrapbook store from hubby. Camden made me a cute card and his handprint in a piece of tile. Bailey also made me a darling card and a homemade bookmark. They both worked so hard on their darling cards and gifts and were so proud of their accomplishments. Oh, to have such self confidence.So, after our bellies were full, and presents were unveiled, we got ready for the day. We left and went over to Color Me Mine-a paint your own pottery store. It was the first time for all of us and we had such a great time. Dave chose a large plate to paint-like the one they broke that was my "Special Plate" for birthdays and such. I chose a little ice cream cone that I can put little treats in to snack on while I scrap. Bailey chose a plate also and Camden chose a cup. We had a few little incidences-like Bay getting paint on my pants or water splashing all over but all in all, it was such fun. It was a little stressful with the kids-I told Dave I would like to go back on a date and paint together-a little bit more relaxed and able to focus more on what I am doing then running back and forth getting more paint or brushes or making sure the kids did not get paint everywhere or spill. He said that sounded like a great plan. I am pretty excited about that. We get to pick up our creations on saturday. I cannot wait to see them all finished. I want to display them on the hutch by the kitchen table-if the boys let me. I just want them to know how proud I am of them and how artistic they are. Oh, what they can do with a little paint....
