Mother's Day

When I went to bed last night I forgot to put out Greyson's breakfast, so I figured that he would be waking me up bright and early...he did, but it was to ask me a question and since I fell back asleep afterwards I'm guessing that my answer was sufficient. When my alarm clock went off a while later I went downstairs and found that Greyson was able to get his own breakfast, a cheese stick, this morning. After I got dressed for church Greyson joined me for some cereal.

All I wanted for Mother's Day this year was a morning to myself (church and shopping), homemade cards, and all my Sunday chores to be someone else's (Clayton's) responsibility. In my opinion, Mother's Day was a success!

Church was nice this morning. We are doing series right now called "Think Orange" which is about making faith and family go hand-in-hand. That children shouldn't be getting to know God solely from church, but that it needs to be an everyday sort of thing. Our worship time was lead by the student minstry...they danced and sang to the music. Followed by a simple sermon, and two Baptisims.
After church I spent 2-3 hours at the bookstore. It was fabulous! I ended up walking out with two books for Greyson (Super Why Look and Find, and Summer Bridge Activities which are suppose to keep him ready for preschool), a book for Clayton (Child 44), and two books (Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World, and Brain Games) and Bananagrams for me. I've been wanting Bananagrams since Kim and Jeff's wedding! Clayton and I played while Greyson took his nap, lots of fun.

I came home to beautiful Mother's Day cards. Greyson met me at the door with his. I'm a lucky lady!

Clayton took this picture of Greyson. Chillin' after making my card.

Along with my card Clayton also did the laundry, dish and made dinner. We haven't decided if we'll be having dessert or not...I'm okay either way, because it was a great Mother's day!!!
