Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

Although this morning started off crazy, I was blessed to have Scott get the kids dressed and ready for church. John rode to church with Scott since the choir was practicing before the service, and he did a great job sitting and listening.

I was running around like a mad woman before church trying to finish getting all the Mother's Day crafts ready for the Sunday School teachers. Suddenly the kids were being dismissed to the nursery and Sunday School, so I rushed to get to the 3s/4s classroom where I was teaching. John decided at that point to throw a fit. Scott helped and got John to come to class.

However, John decided he wasn't going to participate and crawled under the table saying, "I think someone's missing." In other words, he was sad that his friend Tommy was not at church. Scott, bless his heart, ended up taking John out so that I could focus on the rest of the kids and their Bible lesson. I noticed them out in the parking lot, but I didn't really think much of it.

Then after second service (and yes, I really did get to attend service!), Scott asked me to head out to his car. It turns out that they had gone to Hy-Vee during first service. John was so excited as he started to hand me things:

1. card (MOM turned upside down spells WOW!) =)
2. plant (daisies) from John and Emma
3. tulips from Scott
4. receipt (which Scott quickly grabbed away)

We then enjoyed a delicious meal at the Triple Crown Buffet. God was looking out for me again today because John fell asleep on the way home. Therefore, we all got a short nap. YEAH!

After playing outside for awhile, Scott and John headed out to run errands. I fed Emma, and then she was ready for bed. Ahhh...a quiet household. Until Scott and John arrived home...
