Mother's Day!!! Oh how I LOVE this day! It falls right behind Christmas as my favorite day of the year. I mean, I whole day devoted to ME!! It's even better than my birthday which is so often overshadowed by Christmas festivities. Savannah had been planning my Mother's Day surprises for a couple of weeks and the night before she told me that I was not allowed to leave my room until after she woke up. So considering that I tend to wake up before 7:00 and she could sleep until 9:00, I had to wait a long time. Once she finally woke up, her and Oscar went downstairs to make my breakfast. One would think that they weren't going to let me eat the rest of the day based on my breakfast: oatmeal, waffles with blueberries, and a breakfast sandwich. Usually I only eat one of these items but they thought I needed options. Thankfully Savannah and Walker ate the oatmeal and waffle which left me with the sandwich.

After breakfast I opened my cards and gifts. Walker gave me a school-made necklace (I about cried!) and Oscar gave me a couple of Lilly items. Savannah's school-made gift had to wait until Muffins with Mom the following morning. Then I did a quick 5 mile run on the treadmill before heading to lunch at the country club.

The next day I stayed with Savannah at school. We had coffee and snacks, watched a musical performance with all the pre-K students, then planted a flower in a pot that the children had decorated for us.
