Mother's Day

Yes, it's Mother's Day and it has already been such a treat. The breakfast in bed was the ultimate this year with Panera cinnamon sugar bagels, scrambled eggs, bacon, and a bowl of Kashi cereal. Yes, I shared with the troops because a) they expected it and b) that was a ton of food. I downed the chocolate bar given out at church while I was in the hall with Mallory during Sunday School to help me cope. And, now I have been served a Califonia Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken Pizza as an appetizer as the boys prepare dinner with dad. I have been given a fryer as a gift so that they can cook me some homemade corn dogs. While that may not sound very good to everyone, you have to know my love of corn dogs. And, not just any corn dogs. They have to taste like the ones that you get from the state fair or Hot Dog on a Stick. Yes, they have to be deep fried. And, so as I type on this computer, an attempt to mimic those famous dogs is going on in the other room. I am so excited. I thought I would also share these two photos of Gage taken yesterday. I was lucky enough to be an apprentice to the garage sale queen, Kristi, yesterday and I am still giddy about my finds. One of them was this stroller for Mallory which I was informed that every little girl needs and for $1 - Mallory was in need. Gage came in with it, with sunglasses on, and a baby on board to inform me that he was taking Mallory's baby for a walk. After I relented, I decided that the least I could do was walk with him to support him. Later, after wearing shorts that were a little too big all day, Gage came in with some new ones on. I kept looking at them and thought that they looked tight and a lot like a pair of girl's capris on him. Finally, I realized that he had put on a pair of Mallory's jeans and thought they were his shorts. I couldn't convince him otherwise because I think he was so happy that they weren't falling down that he didn't want to give them up. The snug fit felt good. Well, as long as he wasn't going out in them pushing the baby in the stroller, I was okay with it! Happy Mother's Day mom and Betty. I love you both!
