Mother's Day

For mother's day I got to go shopping at JoAnn's which if you know me than you know that was the best present ever. I bought fabric, patterns, and misc scrapbooking items. So than I spent the end of the week making myself a skirt...

I know it's a little bolder than I am used too, and it's a horrible angle and the lighting is horrible in our apartment, but hey it is super cute... and I enjoyed my gift to myself.

All ready to go to church... again horrible lighting...

Even though I got my present already, I was told to stay in bed Sunday morning while Dave set up something. Than he came and got me. He had bought me eclairs for my breakfast and got me a new phone cover because my other one was a little too flimsy, and he drew me a card of course. I guess he said he drew it too fast and doesn't like it and so plans on re-drawing it for me. I love his cards, they are just on printer paper but the drawings are one of a kind just for me!

That night for dinner I made chicken parmigana I know, husbands usually make the food, but I love to cook and was excited about this receipe... it turned out great! The girls ate mozerella cheese and spaghetti noodles...

And Daphne tried to give herself hair with the spaghetti. I also made black bottom cupcakes for desert... yum! And had to borrow a egg from our upstairs neighbor lady and she was so nice, and so than I of course gave her several cupcakes for her own. She said she loved them and wants the reciepe.

ok, blogger is really making me angry today... this picture is on here twice and it won't let me delete the top one so oh well...

On Saturday Dave got me this plant... (above) at work, I guess the BX was giving them out to mothers... it's really pretty it has a yellow flower.

My real present was having Sami stand up, her first year being able to do so, with the primary kids and sing "Mother I love You" it was so beautiful. She saw all the kids go up and didn't want to go up, but than Dave went with her and stood off to the side and she stood up in front and sang... it was the best. I have been trying to practice the song with her all week and she never wanted to sing it, but than she sang it in church and than sang it again on the phone for my mom... so sweet.

But this is the gift that the kids gave all the parents... it was so sweet... it made me so happy... and I have it on my dresser. It is a diamond with the stuff inside... so sweet!

Well hope the rest of you had a great mother's Day!
