Happy Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day today. I woke up to the soft gentle sound of the rain and birds happy to have their tummies filled since I finally remembered to get some more bird seed for them. I sewed the tops to the pirate quilts, which was fun, and showed Ammon how to "drive" my sewing machine. I told him that he was only allowed to use it if I was home. I could see all sorts of things being sewn, which could be bad. Next we had an oh so nutritious lunch at McDonald's (I figured it was Mother's Day so none of that bad stuff in the food counts). Then the power went out at our house. Bummer. So the sewing stopped as well as my plans to bake cookies. Oh well. Eli and Nate took a nap while Ammon and I worked on his homework together. Then he wrote in his story journal and I cut out fabric for some zipper pouches. Still no power yet, so we went out to dinner. Mexican food! Then I was told that I could buy some new pots...which I have been wanting and needing for awhile now. I am so excited! I got three new ones, plus one of those hand blender/puree thing-a-ma-bobbers that Alton Brown always uses. So, as you can see, it was a great day. Now to just decide on what meal to break my new pans in on.........
