Yesterday, I walked into Daddy's office where all three boys were doing something suspicious. Mr. Newton immediately said, "Don't get that phone." I was confused and replied, "I don't have my phone." He said, "No! The new phone in there!" as he pointed to a closed closet door.
Haha. Daddy was a good sport about part of my surprise being ruined and they gave me the gift a little early. The new phone was actually a new case for my new (hand me down) phone. It was appropriately given to me by my sweet three year old who accidentally slammed my old phone into the concrete, leading to screen full of cracks and a slow and steady decline.
Throughout all of this, Mr. Mister remained tight lipped. Until bed time, when he told me, "Tomorrow is Mother's Day. First I'm going to help with your breakfast and then I'm going to give you the video and then..." I interrupted him and said, "Is this supposed to be a surprise?" Eyes wide, hand clasped over his mouth, he said, "Oh! Yeah!"
Those were highlights of this year's Mother's Day when I was too sick to enjoy much else. The other highlight was my mom bringing us chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight as we've all been getting over coughs and colds. I guess a Mom never stops being a Mom, even on her day!
Here's to a healthier and warmer Mother's Day next year!!
