My Mothers Day


 I had a really great mothers day! Did you? Husband went out of his way to make the day nice. It started out with Breakfast in bed, the boys love this part (me too). Then they all gave me their presents. Ollie made a corsage out of tissue paper, it was really cute. Max's class made a Recipe book with family recipes, I loved it. Then Scott let me go back to sleep(the best gift of all).
At church they did the cutest thing in the program, they asked all the kids questions about their Mom. I couldn't wait to read what my boys had to say.
1. What is your Mom's favorite food?
Ollie- chicken soup and ravioli with hot sauce   ( I do like homemade soup)
Max- She barely eats the food she makes us ( is this cuz he thinks I'm starving myself or is it that the food I make is so bad, I can't even eat it.)
2.What is your Mom's favorite chore?
Ollie- cleaning the dishes (wrong)
Max- She makes us do all the chores (say what?!)
3. What is your Mom's least favorite chore?
Ollie-Cleaning up all the toys (Very true)
Max- She makes us do all the chores  ( How I wish this were true)
4. What is something your Mom always says to you? ( most kids said I love you)
Ollie- if i watch a movie pass 9 pm, she says "go to bed" ( I do say this)
Max- "Video game time is over" (I say this too)
5.  What  is something your Mom does just for you? 
Ollie- If I do a chore, I can pick something out of the "Schulbuck" store
Max- Does something for me. ( I didn't get this one. He told me later that I do a lot for him, just nothing that was interesting)
     So according to my kids I'm an anorexic slave driver who likes hot sauce.
After church we went to the Schultz house, where the men made us dinner. I got my favorite Island tacos(yum-yum). Then Grandpa took all the kids to deliver corsages to the Moms in the neighborhood. They had a blast doing this. It was such a good day, I love Mothers day.
