Mother's Day Extravaganza!!!

Al brought these to me at work on Saturday and said,
"So begins the Mother's Day Extravaganza!"


The flowers are Stargazer Lilies, my personal favorite and also the flowers we had in our wedding.

Then throughout Sunday, he gave me random little gifts with sayings...

This was for the headaches they cause me all year long...

This lighter is because I light up his life.....
The pens are because I am a writer and now I can write down thoughts about my lovely children...(purple because it is my favorite color)
These Lindt Dark Chocolate truffles are "sweet treats for a sweet mommy"... (Did I mention how much I LOVE this candy?)
This movie is because I love fantasy and he does not, but wanted me to be sure and realize that he pays attention to what I like and he is willing to be part of it! (Awwww....)
This is the Yummy Tex-Mex skillet breakfast he and the kids made for me!!! It is half gone, but I didn't think to take a picture until I was almost finished!!!! Whew! I had leftovers for lunch today and they were still YUMMY!!! Brings a smile to my fact just to think about it!
The Coke is to keep me going....(also an absolute fav of mine)
Why toilet paper you ask??? For all the sh** they give me all year long!!!(Only Al)
Finally, the best gift of all is my children and my husband!!! Thanks for all the love and fun you guys!! You're the best!

Happy Mother's Day all you mothers out there! Hope yours was as great as mine!!!

Awww! So sweet and way too funny! I can't wait till Dave gets home so I can show him. He will die laughing about a couple of those! I think he and Al have a similar sense of humor.
I love the picture of all of you at the end of your post! Beautiful family! I'm so glad your Mother's Day was special!
