Jaden has been excited for this weekend to come because he got to go on the Fathers & Sons outing with Chris. He kept talking about sleeping in a tent & roasting marshmellows....BTW, we aren't campers & this is the first time he's ever done anything like this. Yesterday Chris got home & away they went. Jaden was obsessed with the FIRE...I should probably be a little worried. Jaden's little buddy Jordan was there (Jordans mom said Jordan asked all week if Jaden was going to be there) & they ran & played. They roasted mashmellows & hotdogs, they got to throw wood in the fire, Chris said Jaden was in heaven. At 3am Jaden refused to stay in his sleeping bag & was frozen when he informed Chris that he wanted mommy. Even though they cut the camping trip short Jaden has informed Chris that he'd like to go again. Chris agreed to camp in the backyard next weekend.
Today was Mothers Day! I am fortunate to live by my amazing mom & got to spend this afternoon with her. She is as close to PERFECT as you can get & I'm so grateful for her example...I have so much to live up to.
Of course my boys are on my mind today too. I love them & am so grateful to be their mom. Today Jaden made me smile when I stared at him & though how truely handsome he was. Landon made me smile when he flashed his adorable dimples my way. I love those things. I'm grateful that even just the simple things that these boys do make me so happy.
I'm crazy to post this self picture of me (took it while I was working on the computer)...I really wanted a picture of me and my boys & made this realization after they were tucked in bed. This is my 3rd mothers day & wanted a picture to mark the occassion. The problem is it's the end of the day & I really need makeup, my hair done, a sun tan, you name it...I need a lot. BUT then is reminded me that this is what being a mother is. I often need to redo my makeup & hair, I look tired, I'm frazzled but in the end...these boys are WORTH it and what I look like doesn't matter. I should mention I do put some effort in when Chris is home since he's only home for a couple of days. So to all mothers, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!
