Yesterday was a calm day for us.  We slept in until 8:20, the first time in months and had a lazy day ending with Mass for the family.

Lance asked each boy what they loved about me, their favorite thing to do with me and their favorite food I make.

Squirt: that I am caring, driving to school together and lettuce wraps.

Goose: that I love him the best, (yes, this did come out of his mouth), reading with me and pizza.

Baby Hulk: that I am pretty, doing school and pizza

No David: kisses, reading stories and pizza

Here’s the thing: I don’t make pizza.  Ever.  Nor do I plan to make pizza.

I have to say I was surprised that nobody said cookies or pumpkin bread.

Saturday night Lance and I enjoyed a night out with our regular babysitter also known as my mother.  My dad stayed home with everyone so my mom could enjoy a night out.

Here are my answers to Lance’s questions: I love that my mom is so giving.  She did everything we wanted when I was a kid and to this day, gives so much without complaining.  My favorite thing to do with my mom as a little girl was coming home from school and visiting or baking, today it’s talking after I’ve come home from a date with Lance.  I used to get grounded a lot, and I always say it’s because my mom wanted to spend time with me.  Not with me being a shit.  And my favorite food: fried chicken and mashed potatoes, roast, chicken Parmesan and the many desserts she excelled at making.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!  You are an amazing mother, and I appreciate all you have done for me.   I hope I can be half as good a mom as you are!
