more Mothers Day...

Saturday evening I was told to be ready to leave the house at 7:15am. oh? ok. At the butt-crack of dawn on Mothers Day I was sitting in the truck ready to go. Where? I had no idea.. I kind of figured we were off to have breakfast somewhere because I was told not to bother eating. hm..

Where would we be going that '
1. I couldn't eat
2. had to leave EARLY...


We drove into Denny's around 9am.. There were my girls and all my grandkids. I can't believe I took my camera and took NO photos...

We had a wonderful time eating and talking and the grandkids behaved beautifully and ate all their breakfast.

And look what I got?

Oldest daughter and son-in-law gave me this..






Isn't it pretty? I love the color green and the bird is so cute...

Second daughter and son-in-law presented me with this.





Can you read it? Yes, it is a word... L E E. That's our last name. She has a friend that takes the photos and mounts them into words. Isn't that cool? It is sitting on my mantle and I love it.

Thank you girls for getting up and getting the kids ready and surprising me. I loved it...and maybe next time we can all wear panties?

Linda - that would be my four year old, Ava, who frequently sneakily removes her panties, so she can go commando. This is the 2nd family function that she has shown up to panty-less. Can't wait til she's a teenager... *sigh*

Nancy, firstly thank you for following. I just popped over here out of curiosity and started laughing from almost the first line "butt crack of dawn", then about the Wii fit, and then I LOVE your blocks and your WIPs so I had to click follow. I sense a kindred spirit.

Glad you had a great Mother's Day. You gotta love those little girls. Izzy shows up bare-bottomed at several times during the day, and when I ask her why she tells me her gutchies are "croked".
