Chillin Out and Watching "The Wiggles" 
Mother's Day Feast
The Three of Us
Marie trying out my new chopsticks set. I woke up this morning alone. Not a good sign. That happened Wednesday too when I found Jim on the couch, so he could be close to the bathroom. We both ended up with stomach flu for 2 days that time. So I went downstairs to find him. Not on the couch. Peek out the window. No car in the drive. Oh no...Jim got paged and had to go in to work. If someone had to go into work at 5am on a Sunday morning, better him than a mommy though!
My mother and I were surprised with flowers from Jim, even with his rough start. After church and a nice dinner, Jim and Marie gave me some kitchen gifts I wanted. A sweet day. Now, I am sitting with an upset stomach because the chips I had bought for myself (for when I was theoretically going to sit and read today) are definately not settling well.
Marie is struggling with independence. Knowing something is hers yet having to share it. Wanting to do something by herself yet not having the coordination yet. Wanting a popsicle and snacks instead of a meal. Test, test, test...momma, do you really mean this boundary or no???
Anyways, we think of all the Mom's today...especially those who are struggling and those Moms who aren't with us anymore.

Happy Mother's Day! I hear you on the boundaries/independence thing. Ellie will often exclaim "No, not THAT!" after I pick something out for her. Milk with her breakfast, changing her diaper, choosing a shirt, etc. Erg. She's also started this really annoying habit of pointing at us with her pointer finger and vehemently saying "SSHHHHHH!" when we are telling her something she doesn't like.... like the word "no". Fun times... :)
has Marie hit a major growth spurt since spring break? she looks so "big girl"

Glad your day ended nicely! Love that chair that Marie sits in! Too cute! Happy Mothers Day!!
