Mother's Day!!

I have been a mother for 6 years now, if you include being pregnant, and each Mother's Day is better than the last! I can 100% without a doubt say I have the best husband and kids I could ever ask for. They sure know how to spoil me!!

First, Haven brought home breakfast in bed, a muffin, from school for me to enjoy this morning. Too bad I can't eat as soon as I wake up, it was the thought that counts. Last night Haven and Gray gave me their present. I have to say I was beyond shocked when I opened it. Never did I expect them to get me the new iPad!! I am so in love with it and so excited to start using it for EVERYTHING!!

Earlier this week Mike gave me his present. He knew how long I have been searching for the perfect diaper bag, 6 years to be exact! And while at 3 Monkeys this week I found the PERFECT one. I fell in love with it at sight and knew my search was finally over!

I have to smile as I tell you Mike's plan to give me my gift because it was the sweetest thing ever... After telling Mike about said bag he consulted his female co-workers (one whom is pregnant) about how important a diaper bag actually is. To my defense they both said it was the most important thing because I will be carrying it everywhere, everyone's stuff will be going into and more than likely it will be taking the place of my purse. With that said, he decided he had to get it for me and formed a plan. He was going to leave work right at 5:00 and go purchase the bag and ask them to gift wrap it and hold it for him at the store. He was then going to meet me at home and suggest we go look at the bag and allow him to see if for himself. When we arrive at the store the bag would no longer be there and I was to become crushed because someone else had already purchased the bag. But as we were leaving the store an associate was to ask if I was Constance Perrin and say they had something for me, hand me the package and to my surprise it would be the diaper bag. Such a sweet, thoughtful idea right?! Well, my poor sweet husband did not know that 3 Monkey's moved to Fayetteville until after calling them because the store was no longer where it once was. So his plan was ruined. He ended up telling me about his said plan over a wonderful dinner and said I could go get the diaper bag the following day as his Mother's Day present.
The thought and planning alone was sweet enough for me. He is such a wonderful husband, one day one of his plans will work out!

I still can't believe that I have been a mother for 6 years now. Seems just like yesterday my only concerns were what I was going to wear and where everyone was meeting after work. Now my days are loading down with laundry, cleaning messes, running one here and another there, dirty diapers and being mom'd 24/7, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Just think, I still haven't added Elleanor's commands to the list!!
