Mothers Day for Real Moms

Mothers Day is always special - looking forward to the little homemade gifts, breakfast in bed... just the little things.  Well once children become tweens and then morf into young adults things get a little crazy, at least in my house.

This year I got the pleasure of making my own breakfast, lunch and dinner... as the hubby was actually sick and couldn't help out.  The boys who are now 21, 18 and 17 aren't really into the warm and fuzzy stuff of yesteryear - if I get a slight nod I feel like I have really gotten something!  Once dinner was ready I called the boys down and along came several of their friends who I have layed claim to at some point in my life since they are here everyday.  We had dinner, then they brought out a fun little card and 3 pink carnations (that had been appropriated from one of their friends church) Its the thought that counts right??   The surprise of the night was a mint chocolate chip Baskin Robbins cake - had not had one of those in years! 



As we always do, we cut up acted goofy and then my oldest and I decided that a few Komokosies would be the perfect end to a perfect day - after several of those I came up with another of my brilliant ideas and double dog dared two of my sons friends to eat a kitty snack - as we read the ingrediants and offered "it has real chicken" to the unsuspecting fellows - as they were getting ready to pop them in their mouth I added " you have to chew it up!"  This was the highlight of the evening - I've never seen faces morf into unrecognizable versions of what they used to be.  I rolled - cried and ended up with a side stich that was from another world !! 

This is how we roll in my house - crazy, silly, fun types of LOVE!
