I dunno why, but Mother’s Day 2010 was quite the up-and-down affair at our house. On the “down” side, Genevieve has some sort of cold-allergy thing, Julia acted like a bratty teenager several times (including once while we were out for bagels this morning: mortifying), and, worst, the girls ended one activity by actually hitting each other – a first in our house.
On the “up” side, the girls occupied themselves (before the mano-a-mano) for about a half hour by moving literally all their kitchen toys (including two tables and two chairs!) from the playroom to a “house” in their bedroom, we had a nice outing to Dairy Queen for cones and sundaes, and the girls were positively over the moon about giving some gifts to their Mama and bringing her “breakfast in bed” – a scone and a latte picked up at the coffeeshop and delivered about four hours after Shannon actually got up.
In sum, the day was probably 65/35 to the good. Better luck next year?

With young kids, girls at that, that’s a pretty good ratio. You should count your lucky stars!
