Mother's Day

I don't want today to end.

I mean it! I've made a concentrated effort today to pay no attention to time, which is freeing, and besides we've just had lots of fun family time.

Breakfast in bed, very sweet and potentially relaxing until you realize that 4 kids + mom + french toast topped with powdered sugar and assorted beverages in my bed + a duvet cover that I am overly attached to = one nervous mommy! Still it was a good morning. I love my family.

Mass at St. William's, where they had a May crowning...very lovely. Plus this congregation is very reverent. I'm not sure how with the large number of people that attend how the Church can be so conducive to prayer, but it is. I like our 8 am mass at Emmaus, but it is completely quiet and I think it is good to have Roo know some typical catholic hymns and sung responses!

Lunch and dessert, the kids treated me to italian food and starbuck's (yum!) and a little more resting for me. The afternoon was filled with volleyball and my requested family hike. Back home for dinner and brownies (they know how to make me smile!) and basketball.

Roo wanted 'snuggle time' , which eventually had to end for his bedtime. Then, I looked at my calendar for tomorrow. Oh no, regular life returns!
