Happy Mother's Day 2010!!!!

Tonight John asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day. He just realized that it's this weekend. And I'm pretty sure that he hasn't thought about Mother's Day since last year and he was starting to panic.

Meanwhile, I already have John's Father's Day gift bought and wrapped. I will probably take the kids to the $1 to pick something out for him as well. Then, we will wrap all of the gifts and the kids will make homemade cards for Dad to open. I will get an ice cream cake for dessert. And it will be a big celebration.

So to kick off the Mother's Day celebration I told John that I want a new cell phone. I listed the features that I wanted it to have and even cut out some pictures for illustration purposes. Then, he said "I'm not getting you a new cell phone, pick something else" or maybe he said "dream on" I can't remember.

Strike One!

Then I said that I wanted a new pair of NICE jeans for Mother's Day! I told him what kind I wanted and where he could buy them. He said "You're going to go pick out a new pair of jeans and say that they are for Mother's Day and that's it? No, I don't like that idea either."

Strike Two!

Finally I said that what I really wanted for Mother's Day was a nice big garden with vegetables and herbs right in our own backyard. So, John said "Ok, I'll go do that right now".

Home Run!

And he shoveled and rototilled and composted for hours and got it ready to plant tonight and it is perfect. So in the end that's what I'm getting for Mother's Day and honestly I couldn't be happier! Well, a little ice cream cake wouldn't hurt.....
