mother's day

it was a nice mother's day for us - my third mother's day - funny how mother's day seems to hold more meaning than your own birthday - so so blessed to add mother to my list of accomplishments, topping that list for that matter. it was so fun to watch the girls at the park, showing off all of their new "big girl" tricks on the swings and monkey bars. the girls kept calling the day itself "happy mother's day" - asking me "mommy, are you getting ready for happy mother's day?" ..and at night when i begged to be able to take a bath in peace i said

"please, it's mother's day." maddie responded, "it's over, see it's dark now, mother's day is over. it's not mother's night." where does she get this smartness from? her mother, of course!
