Mother's Day- Postponement

I like the above picture the best, but my camera wasn't in the right mode. I added it to show that they do smile :)

Here are my beautiful babies on Mother's day. They make their mother proud- they clean up pretty well. See them on any other day and they are still cute, just in a messy, bed headed kind of way.

I decided this year to postpone my Mother's day. My husband is on shut down and was at work all day and so I spent this mother's day as a mother- and I don't think that is how it is supposed to be.

Isla was up all night- and is most nights, but because of Brett's crazy work hours, her and I spend a lot of time together in the dark hours of the night on an air mattress on her floor. She is teething, poor girl, and so we are both not sleeping.

Wyatt wakes up at the first sign of morning- 6am. and so there was no "sleeping in" today, so we were up and ready for church.

Church was a little crazy because Isla had been up all night, she was over tired. And because I had been up all night I was very cranky- not the type of mother to be celebrated I'm afraid. Wyatt however preformed in his first primary song, and even had a little speaking part (M is for Marvelous) So sweet- it brought tears to my eyes.

We spent the afternoon at my mom's which was very nice. She is a Marvelous Mom!!! My sister brought dinner, which was delicious, and we had a nice evening. She too is a Marvelous Mom!!!

The day finished off with baby poop on my white skirt, and boogers all over my shirt. A sure sign of a hard working mom if I've ever seen any.

When this shut down is over I have day dreams of sleeping in, a couple naps, breakfast in bed... you know the typical way to show mom how much they are appreciated.

I should say though, that Wyatt and I had a nice "mom's night" at pre-school earlier in the week where he made me a beautiful beaded necklace with his name on it. And Mother's Day eve, I went for a long run with my lovely sister in law, and had the house to myself to clean up the grime that I seem to run out of time for when I'm keeping after my kids. I LOVE a clean house! and really don't mind cleaning when I can just do it, without worrying about my kids in the process.
