Mother's Day:) and So Much More

Happy Mother's Day one day late! We had a nice relaxing day, which is a wonderful change from the excitement we always seem to have around here. After church, we just got some Chinese to bring home because we knew the restaurants would all be crowded. At least, that is what Joel told me. Maybe he is just tired of Cracker Barrel since it is probably my favorite and I always choose that. I received a lovely pink tissue paper flower from Pnut that she made in Sunday School. She was very excited about it. Pilly wanted to get her hands and her slobber on it, but that was prevented, and it is now safely in a vase on our table. We all took naps, but Pnut got up after about an hour so I got up with her and then when Joel got up, I laid back down. He let the girls play in their room without supervision (I don't know where he was!), and this is what happened:



He said it was like an assembly line. Pilly would take the book off the shelf, hand it to Pnut, and Pnut would throw it on the pile. Apparently this was a "birthday cake" for Maddie, Pnut's friend. Use your imagination people!



Now about that excitement we didn't have yesterday. We had some today. While I was in the bath this morning, Pilly somehow fell into the corner of the wall so she has a lovely knot on her forehead. I think it is because I saw a little girl last week who had a humongous knot on her head and I didn't know how that could possibly happen. Pilly's isn't huge, but it is there! Then this afternoon on our second trip to the playground, Pnut ran up the slide and somehow forgot about the metal bar at the top and smashed her face off of it. There was much blood and she now sports a swollen lip. I am glad that no one looked closely at our children at the grocery store or they might have called Children and Youth!

I tried my salsa again tonight, and I only used 1/4 of the prescribed jalapenos. It is good, but I think it might need a little more jalapeno. I don't like really spicy, but this isn't quite kicking enough. At least my tongue is not swollen with huge bumps, right?! I have a little container for my dad and one for Jackie who is sampling it. Hopefully I willl remember to deliver both!

Tomorrow I am covering Dr. Chapman. Dr. Chapman is a lovely little doctor who believes that no dictation should be shorter than one hour and fifteen minutes but has been known to go up to two hours. Thankfully, he only has one dictation a day, but of course it takes me a little longer to type it than it does for him to speak it. We will have to see how it goes getting up early. Maybe I will have speedy fingers. Really, how can you stand to read all of this? Isn't it boring?!

Have a wonderful evening! Softball tomorrow night for us!!
