Mother's Day 2009

Dear Littles,
Thank you so much for all the lovely Mother's Day gifts. I really loved the pink roses you brought home Friday night. They smelled so good. Tiny, I am sorry that they scared you when they started fading and you didn't want to sit on the couch with me even though that is the only place you CAN sit with your pegleg. I threw them away swiftly. I didn't want you to be afraid. They weren't all that tired looking though. Oh well. You are worth it.
I love wearing my new blue apron with the lace trim. I especially love the pocket because it is great for stashing my cell phone, good boy treats, and my wedding rings when I am rolling out scones for you. By the way, sorry Notorious about taking 3 days to make scones that were supposed to be made on Saturday. Tiny broke his leg and it kind of threw things off. I did make Aunt Alane's birthday cake. I get points for that. Right?
My most favorite gift was the bowl and plates that not only sported a bird, but THE bluebird of happiness. My most favorite bird of all. All time favorite. Because she is happy. Don't tell Papa but I sneaked into Anthro today and picked up three dinner plates that match it because I love them THAT much. And I don't usually like dishes that match. Really, I just want a few spares so I won't be sad when one breaks or chips. Thank you sweet little boys for remembering how much I love birdies. They are my favorite. After little boys. I love you more than I love birds.
Speaking of birds, Notorious, you did an amazing artistic rendition of you and the other littles as ACTUAL BIRDS on my mother's day card. That was genius, just like you. Thank you.
It was really the best Mother's Day ever. Broken pegleg and all.
Love,
Mama
