more stopping and smelling

Mother's day...what a wonderful day for all mothers, but for a very pregnant mom with 2 young children it is an amazing day.
Of course many days there are the little rewards that remind us that all this work is worth it.

While we were at the grocery store i asked quade which flowers he would get me for mother's day if he could buy some. He decided on red roses. So he was very upset when we got home and found these flowers on the counter from daddy. He told me he was going to throw them away b/c they weren't the red ones. =)
After church on sunday our little family went to a mother's day brunch at the Hilton. Fortunately we were seated next to the berries and fruit station...perfect for my little fruit lovers! instant gratification makes for quiet children.
After the meal they give each mom a rose. I was carrying quade to the car and he was carrying the rose.
He said "mommy stop". so i stopped and he took a big whiff of the rose... then said "mmmm they do smell good". What a sweet reminder to stop more often and smell the roses of mothering!


Thanks to my boys for a great mother's day!
