Today we had an early Mother’s day celebration. We have four kids, which you might already know, so for me, I feel like I needed Mother’s Day. I decided it was probably best to make it known that something needs to happen on Mother’s day. So I did, and my wonderful husband (Jonathan) took care of it.
I started the morning with the three big kids waking me up with their gifts. I received two mugs and a pink plastic pitcher. I’m not sure what the pitcher thing is all about, but I ooo’d and ahh’d over it just the same. Then we got dressed, and went out for breakfast, and then out to the Tulsa Zoo. It was a hot spring day, and Tulsa is really good at those. I think it was 90. After a sweaty but very fun afternoon, we headed home.
As I was uploading our zoo pics, my girls were playing with my shoes and putting them on and walking around. It was just such a classic Mom/daughter moment. I had to take pictures of it. It made me think about how grateful I am to have a wonderful mom, and that I get to be a mom to wonderful kids. What a blessing! I get to be part of their lives everyday, and give them love, encouragement, support and guidance. I also receive so much from them. The love, the cuddles, the kind words and thoughtfulness that they show me. In a way, everyday is Mother’s day.
Happy Mother’s day to all you Mom’s and Mom’s to be out there!
