Happy Mother's Day

I will write about the race tomorrow, but today I write about Mother's Day. My day started early. At 6:30 am I heard the thump, thump, thump of little feet. There was definite movement and definitely some planning going on. Every now and then I would hear the clank of dishes and then more running. I was surprised at how early it was, as getting anyone up before 7:00 during the week is quite the struggle.

At 7:30 am Mandy shows her cute little face into the bedroom bringing me breakfast in bed. There was so much excitement on her face I thought she would explode. Breakfast consisted of yogurt, milk and scrambled eggs Mandy had made herself. The eggs looked a little runny, but I gave it a bite hoping I would be able to eat them. Unfortunately I had to send them back to the kitchen for a little more cooking, but the second time around they were great. And Mandy's secret recipe was scumptous.

After breakfast Mandy couldn't wait to give me the present she got me--a small box of chocolate and a card that plays music and has a message. I think I like the card the best as it has Mandy talking on it. Mandy also gave me the present from Royce. I think she was more excited than anyone over Mother's Day which is what made it so much fun. I received the royal treatment for the day and had fun being with the family. The thing that makes Mother Day so much fun is having kids and being their mother.
