well, mothers day has come and gone. and for all intents and purposes it was mostly like any other weekend (with a few small exceptions). i should know by now that my husband is not really a romantic. so friday morning when i said, "you know, mothers day is this weekend" and he replied, "we are going to super wal.mart today, maybe you can pick out something for yourself" i decided right then and there that it was best to set my expectations low.
saturday i mentioned that some of my friends had been in the paper talking about how they would like their mothers day to be celebrated. i even left the article up on the computer screen hoping he might read it for some inspiration. really all we want as mothers (and whats more, mothers of multiples) is a day to enjoy our children without having to be responsible for all the upkeep that we handle all week long. when it was clear he wasnt going to read the article, i took a more direct approach and spelled out a plan. i told j. and f. that "i would like to sleep in on mothers day. then, after you put the boys back down for their morning nap, i would like breakfast in bed. french toast and strawberries would be wonderful."
sunday morning, they did come through and i might add that the syrup was even warmed up and there was even a small vase on my plate with a single flower in it. and it was only an hour earlier than i usually put m&k back down for a morning nap, so it wasnt exactly a quiet breakfast as the two of them screamed in protest. the rest of the day was largely unremarkable. we did go downtown for a bit and had a sweet treat. and granny and pop came for dinner, which was nice. maybe next year i need to lay out a more detailed plan that includes the whole day. i know there is some hope since the flower in a vase that was included at breakfast was entirely his idea.
