a first of its kind -mother's day....

my first being a mom and ryan's first without his mom. i was anticipating a bitter sweet kinda day before it even began, so we more or less had an ordinary quiet sunday, just the 3 of us. my morning started with a present (a diaper) overflowing with love (not sure poop equates to love, but i was trying to throw a positive spin on the situation)... we let the man of the house sleep in while jayme and i shared some toast and coffee (i feel the need to clarify for those who are gonna have a smart comment about a baby and coffee- obviously only i had the coffee) and imagined the whole wheat to be an apple fritter... once daddy got up (8:30ish) jayme had a playmate while i got to work on my to-do list starting with dinner in the crock-pot (chicken tacos), laundry, dishes, vacuuming, crafting shower decorations and phone calls. fast forward to an afternoon nap (both mom and baby)... when i woke up i found the most precious card and treat waiting for me at the bedroom door!
overall it was a special day in that it was ordinary, uneventful (sometimes that's a good thing!), and just the 3 of us relaxing in pj's all day.

this was waiting for me after my nap (with 2 oreos on top)
apparently she spent some time learning how to scribble instead of eat the crayons... saving this forever!

What? You didn't get to sleep in? Not cool!

No seriously I NEVER get to. But thankfully my in-laws took the kids overnight for a perfect mother's day gift..SLEEP! Too bad I woke at 6:30 anyways!

I absolutely love the card! So funny.

Happy mom's day!

I can just picture Ryan sitting @ your little craft station, being a little kid and making a card with Jayme... So sweet!

even if she didn't do any of it (he says she did while he held her hand over the crayon) i LOVE the sentiment!
