Mother’s Day 2010

Hope all my mom friends had a Happy Mother’s Day!  The kids were very excited to give me their gifts on Sunday morning … even though I’d said the only thing I really want is obedience!  The gifts were cute.  Both Zeke & Graham drew pictures for me.  Angelina went shopping with Grandma Green Acres and purchased a very nice and practical gift, which included a lined notepad with pictures of chicken at the top for my grocery lists, a pretty flower pot, and a small box of Jr. Mints (she is soooo very related to me!).  Eric & the kids gave me THE cookbook ~ The Pioneer Woman Cook’s ~ and a Jog Stroller (to replace the Jog Stroller shredded by the farm shed’s resident rodent’s over the long winter – it truly was not a pretty sight).

After Mass, Eric made scrambled eggs & toast for all of us.  One of our favorite Sunday Brunch meals.  We’d invited Graham’s Godparents and their children out to the farm for the day, so all the kids waited anxiously for them to arrive around 1:30pm.  The kids were all so excited to see their friends and show them around the farm.  We adults sat and visited … it was perfect! 

For supper, I prepared Party Potatoes, Sweet & Sour Baked Beans, Carrot sticks, Pork Chops (grilled by Eric for the adults) and hot dogs (kids).  For desert, I made Creme de Menthe & Fudge cake.  It was a fun day and went way too fast for all.
