Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you! I hope you are having a wonderful day.

My day started off rather early (not a surprise as my children get up at the crack of dawn!) and we headed out for breakfast. We had dinner out last night after mass and going out for breakfast was a great treat!

Before we headed out for breakfast, though, there were cards to be read and presents to be opened. My cards were as sweet as the people who gave them to me. My gifts were simply fantastic.

My lovely husband got me these:

I love my hanging baskets. They add a beautiful splash of color to our front entrance. Last weekend he even dug out all my dead, yucky plants that we've had the past few years and put in two rose bushes and a rhodadendrum bush (ok, I know that's probably misspelled, but I'm too lazy to go verify the spelling right now!). Isn't he the best?

My lovely daughter made me this in art class:

Isn't it beautiful? I may use it as a planter. I'm not quite sure yet. Regardless, it will be given a place of honor in my house!

My boys' gift completely made my day, though. At Preschool, their teachers asked them a bunch of questions about me and they made a booklet with their replies. Here's what they each replied to the questions:
