Mother's Day in Dela-nowhere
For my Mother's Day, I spent inordinate amounts of time on my cell phone with Uncle Chrissy, Meemaw, and Poppop on Mother's Day, when I wasn't stalking Aunt Jean's blog to hear more about the fate of her and her little one.
But when I wasn't doing that, I was tending to all three of my menfolk. Daddy went and caught himself a big fat cold. But oh well. We had a nice lazy day together, with lots of cuddling and TV.
The boys and I spent the first part of the morning at Starbucks, where I, like the Big Girl I am, went and fetched my own dern coffee. A random stranger, a young male student, saw me standing in line and glancing repeatedly at my charges as they whooped it up at a nearby table. As he left the store, he turned to me and said, "Happy Mother's Day!" He kind of made my day.
After the boys and I had a drink-in, sitting together and enjoying our respective beverages, we went back home and played in the backyard. We accidentally left our sandbox open a crack during a huge storm on Friday night, and ever since all the boys want to do is play with their dinosaurs in "the swamp".
They could care less how cold and wet and gross they get sitting and playing there.
I've washed at least six hoodies since Saturday morning, all in the name of quality, messy boy fun. It's pretty awesome.
Here comes Jakey's apatosaurus, AKA the Swamp Monster. Hide your goldfish!
Eventually, however, the end of the age of the dinosaurs approached. In the form of a killer asteroid.
Hope everybody else had a good one, with lots of playing and snuggling. I know I did.

Happy Belated Mother's Day, Claire!!!!!!! Your boys and their muck make me waaaay excited for what is up ahead for Jonas, Chris, and I. Thanks for being the courtesy blogger as Chris and I get through our first few days. We can't wait to see you guys! AND I can't wait for the cousins to meet. :)
Oh, trust me, it was ENTIRELY my pleasure ;)
We just can't wait to meet our new cousin. Originally we had planned to come home in early August, but I just don't think that will be soon enough for me. I'm hoping we can visit sometime in June, but Mike has a few loose ends to tie up before we can commit to a date. Sigh. You'd just better post a lot of pictures until then...
What neat pictures and commentary Claire! I think you could probably make a movie with those shots!:-)
I'll bet the boys had a blast playing in the sand and water with their dino friends. What a great idea!
That looks like some messy fun.
Well I just can't wait to see the blog pictures of these cousins meeting
:-)
