Mother's day started with many handmade cards from the kids and "coupons" for things such as a kiss, hug. clean room, etc. I was very excited about these and loved each of the cards. The kids then were really excited for me to go outside and see what they had made for me. It took a few minutes to get everything set up and I was told to stay inside until told to come out. When I finally was told to come out I couldn't believe what Darren had thought up! He had each of the kids take a portion of the car and draw/write on it with Crayola window markers. It was so neat to see their different personalities in each of their windows. Jack was all "Gretna Dragons" and sports. Hannah kept with the girlie theme and Will drew his family and some hearts for me. They even remembered Max and drew him sleeping in his crib. When I first looked at it, it looked like somebody was in jail!
We went to Bill & Lana's house for brunch and met Laurie and the kids, Grandma Gail and Grandpa Jim. Will and Jack helped Grandpa Bill cook pancakes, eggs and sausage outside. It was a fun morning. Looking at the pictures I realized that I did not get any pictures of the kids with the Grandparents. That would have been a nice picture to have since everyone was there.
I have asked to redeem a couple of my "free hugs" and I had to tackle the kids to get the kiss. Hannah actually cried when Darren wrote one for her that said "clean my room". If you know anything about Hannah, you know that telling her to clean her room sets off loud sobs. She must realize the work she has ahead of her!
