And then this evening, my lovely wife comments that she didn't understand why I'd forgotten to get her a card for Mother's Day. I'd even mentioned to several people that I'd been in Hallmark nearly every week in April. So I remembered where the cards were stashed (she frequently finds the bag and opens the cards to remember what she bought them for) and scrambled to get messages inside. It was still touching. Just different.

We'll see how next year works out. Her birthday, the first birthday party, our third anniversary, and Mothers Day are all crammed into 4 weeks. At least I think I messed up on the minor-est of the least important one. Hopefully, she'll remember it that way.

I too went with the "diaper-free" days... Those are always good for points. We went to church, where the first 'loaded' diaper occurred. Gotta love that.

We had planned to hit the zoo, but figured it would be crowded so we spent the day at home. And the boy got his first hair cut.

OH, and she got a Nintendo DS. She LOVES word puzzles and such, so she got the Brain Age series of games.

I'm the MacDaddy! (For now, until I screw something up, or want another skate weekend...)

I got hosed at work and could not leave early any day last week, and things at home required me to be home in the evenings. I got a nice card and gave her the promise of an afternoon with her friend and a pedicure while she's at it. She went on bragging about my friend and how smart he was for suggesting it... Guess that part backfired. I pointed out after she told her mom that it was my idea, but it was probably a little late.

Oh well.

Champaigne and O.J. followed by a big breakfast.

Full day of reading for mom while I made dinner from scratch. Ending the day with a massage.

The kids got her solar tealights (from the 3 year old) for the balcony coffee table and a starbucks gift card (from the 10 month old).

**Starbucks gift card proven difficult to pry out of the babies hands so he's still hanging on to it 3 days later. I think he likes Chai Lates.

Ah, this year.... We had a baptism on Sunday and I sang in a concert on Saturday. To compensate for all the work involved, I had her open her card a day early and came home on Friday night with flowers for her to discover Saturday morning. There's a good chance that we'll be in Walt Disney World next year for Mother's Day. I wonder if they do anything special.
