Mother's Day for the "non energetic" mom

Mother's Day is a bitter sweet day each year but one I truly love to celebrate. Although it has been over 15 years since I celebrated Mother's Day with my own mom, I get to spend this day with my two kiddos, Chuck, and his mother.

Each year, the kids make me gifts at school and they usually make me laugh. Well this year was no exception. Jesse's class had the "Mom's Gazette". Jesse's drawing is priceless and the check list was quite funny to me. Apparently I made the grade for all the items except "energetic". When I asked Jesse why he thought I wasn't energetic he shrugged his shoulders and said "Welllllllll", then winked at me and that was the end of that. I'm guessing he chose not to say what he was originally going to say. Check that off in the "good boy" column!

He also made me a flamingo named "Karen Jr"; Jesse named the flamingo and wrote the name on the back.

Zoey's teacher made silhouettes of the children. Plus I got a soup can with a sunflower in it. Zoey is really hoping the sunflower will grow "really high". I think she forgot that mommy has a black thumb. Or maybe she didn't forget, because she told me "Now, don't kill it!"

Chuck got me a flamingo planter for the garden. He even got a plant for it....since I was working on the garden on Saturday he put my gift in the garden for me as a surprise. I love it!

Mary got me flamingo socks from hallmark! I had to put them on before we went out shopping.

After bed shopping for Mary, we went to Tacos el Tio for dinner! I love their steak fajitas, chicken ranchero....oh who am I kidding. I love everything there!

Zoey thought the adjustable beds were awesome! She also thought that this 

crazy outfit she had on was "perfect shopping attire"!

 Thank you to my family for making Mother's Day so wonderful!
