our mother's day

our mother's day dawned early with smsmh feeling sick.  sore throat, congestion, lethargy.  what a great way to start off your first mother's day.  i popped out of bed to get stuff ready for thunderclap and let smsmh sleep.  we had our morning awake time and then i made breakfast of french toast for all of us.  my parents were still with us, so it was a full table.  tc nibbled on french toast, too.  seriously, that boy is a bottomless pit.

when tc woke from his nap we quietly ate while smsmh kept sleeping.  we then loaded up in the jogger and headed down to the park to hang out for a while.  we played in the grass, which tc loved.  i had to be super vigilant because there were tiny mushrooms growing everywhere in the grass.  tc would be crawling along, grab a mushroom head and try to shove the thing in his mouth.

after a while of getting our knees grassy, we headed over to the swing and tried our best to throw up our lunch by swinging as high as we could.  i say we, because the higher he'd swing, the higher the likelihood that he'd kick me in the stomach and force me to spew, too.

after tc's second nap, we loaded up and headed to smsmh's folks place where my mom and both of my sisters would be meeting us.  i hopped on the bike to ride over while smsmh took tc in the car.  i tried out the sport tracker software again and had much better success.  my workout didn't completely stay live (must have lost signal somewhere), but it definitely didn't eat the battery like saturday.  i arrived with full battery bars after an hour of riding.

the afternoon was great with a wonderful dinner of smsmh's world famous lasagna, lots of moms to celebrate and a gaggle of kids going wild with the tissue wrapping paper.  for such a blah beginning to the day, it sure was a brilliant finish!
