Mother's Day 09

I am somehow having blogger's guilt so bad right now that I am blogging instead of watching LOST. I think there is part of me that doesn't want to start tonight's LOST because once I watch, that will be it until next year. So, here are some of the highlights of my Mother's Day.

Mallory decided to give me a special present the night before and morning of Mother's Day by running a fever. It didn't seem to bother her much, but I didn't want any other moms to get that treat so she sat in church with us. Except sat isn't really the right word since she did very little sitting. We were going to go on and take her to class with us, but I had had enough of wrangling her so we skipped out on church and went straight to lunch. This turned out to be a great move because we were able to walk right in to Pappasitos and get a table. We had a great lunch and Mallory even got her first balloon. She had fun with it tied on her high chair, but would not stand for it being tied to her wrist.

Matthew took the day off so we got to have a leisurely lunch and then head home for some pictures, naps and general Sunday afternoon laziness. This itself was a present to me, but Matthew still got me a gift certificate for a massage plus new running shorts and socks. Yes, it is perfectly fine to give your wife work-out related items for Mother's Day as long as you know she's into that kind of thing.

Overall it was a great day. I love being Mallory's mommy and wouldn't trade it for anything.

When we went in the back yard to take pictures after church, she headed straight to her slide.

This is such a deceptive picture! I can't even remember the last time Mallory fell asleep in my lap.
