Happy Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day. I can't believe that this is my third Mother's Day.

We had a pretty good day. Since we go to church on Saturday night, Ella and I got to sleep in, but Chris had to work this morning. So the day started out a little crazy; first the cat threw up and Ella stepped in it, so I had to clean that up. Then Chris came home around lunch time and tried to make me an omelet for lunch, but Ella knocked the eggs off the counter by accident, normally she is great with the eggs, but once everything got cleaned up things got much better.

Daises, my favorite flowers
Chris had already stopped off at the store to pick up stuff for dinner tonight so I didn't have to cook. He also go me flowers, vegan chocolates, and I got cards from him and Ella. Then they tided up the house and went out to the Garden of the Gods and enjoyed the nice weather and did the grocery shopping for me. I'm very thankful that he offered to do the shopping because of my broken toe (yes, I broke my toe this week). So I got to spend some time to myself while there were away. When Chris and Ella got back, Chris made me pizza and we had some lovely cantaloupe too. Then we watched a movie of my choice, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." So in the end it was good Mother's Day: beautiful weather, nice gifts, good dinner, and a loving family. What more could a mommy ask for.
