Happy (belated) Mother's Day

I hope all you moms out there had a great Mother's Day!! We went to church in the morning, had lunch with my mom and sister (my dad was at work) and then came home. The boys all gave me gifts that they made in school -- John-William made a packet that includes a letter to me, a questionaire that he answered about me, his handprint and a photo of him. Jackson wrote two letters to me and one of them states that he loves it when I do laundry and likes it when I do dishes. Well, he ought to be happy pretty much all of the time since my washer and dryer don't get too many breaks! LOL Michael gave me a plate that has his handprint in paint and a card that he made in the shape of a purse and he glued beads onto it. Adam gave me a gift certificate for a massage!! I can hardly wait to take advantage of that! Instead of cleaning house like I'd planned (we'd had a busy week and I had some help at home, so I was going to take advantage of it), Adam, Anthony and I ended up napping in the living room while John-William, Jackson and Michael watched a movie in the playroom. As much as we needed to work in the house, we needed those naps even more! Adam and I hadn't planned to nap but both of us ended up falling asleep while we sat down to relax for a bit. Since it wasn't intentional, we didn't set an alarm and we ended up sleeping until 5 pm and missing the evening services at church! Boy were we tired!! Storms had rolled through during the night on Saturday and that kept Adam up most of the night between watching the weather, the weather radio going off and dealing with John-William and Jackson who no longer sleep through storms since the February tornado that rolled through our area. I was so exhausted that I slept through most of the storms, waking a couple of times when I heard the kids cry and the weather radio go off. Michael got into bed with me and he slept the rest of the night while his daddy and big brothers were up in the living room. Anthony slept through it all! But, we were all exhausted on Sunday afternoon and just ended up sleeping. It was nice, though, to be able to rest, even though it did cause us to miss church that night. I'll post pics later of the things the boys made for me.
