My mothers day gifts

This is a post I wrote on May,11 2011. I wanted to have it on my blog for my kids to read in the future :)



This Mothers day I am turning the tables around and I am going to write a note to my babies about how lucky I am to be their mommy. My hubby asked me many times " what do you want for Mothers Day?" and I realized {not only should he not be asking..lol} but I already have everything I've ever wanted. I have him, and I have our children - and it just doesn't get any better than that.


Here is a glimpse into my life with my kids, and why I feel so lucky to have them <3

9:00 am I am woken up by the cutest pair of big blue eyes starting into mine, and it never fails -  he climbs into my bed, jumps around and then lays down laughing hysterically and kicking his feet up in the air and secretly I have "mommy moments" where I grab my tummy and remember how his very first kicks felt, and just can't believe that was over 3 years ago, my baby.
9:05 (like clock work) little sister is starting to get angry that she isn't in on the action, so we go into her room and see her big smile as her knight in shining toy story pj's climbs onto the side of her crib, and every single time she looks up at him like she is seeing him for the very first time in her life - and then {sentimental mommy} stands there in awe of how much love they have for one another, its so powerful it could move me to tears.

Waking up each morning and seeing their beautiful faces brings me the kind of joy that I could never put into words.

9:10 {just kidding...I won't get too detailed ;)}

We all know how the rest of the day goes - a few tears, a ton of laughs and cuddles cuddles cuddles! <3


So hubby, if you ever see this - next time you point to one of our kids and say " there's your Christmas/Mothers day/{insert every single holiday you can think of here} gift, instead of giving you "the look" that wives that are disappointed give, or "the silent treatment" that means you better start talkin'. I'm going to thank you. Thank you for the two best gifts I've ever been given in my life, and you're right - you could never top these ones :)

The saying is true- the best things in life aren't things!!

I love you my little peach and plum <3 <3

Happiest Mothers Day ever :) xoxoxo
