Plans for Mother's Day

Just wanted to share the new tradition I'm starting for Mother's Day. I figure that the kids are the only reason I even get to celebrate this day, so I really want to celebrate it with them. The whole plan for staying at home and being lazy and not having to do anything never works for me and then I end up feeling like it is any ole day. So I decided to start taking each of the kids one on one to do anything they want. They get to pick. Whatever they want to do with mom, just for us to have special time together. Of course this year only Mackenzie got to choose, I chose for Turner and Austin! I think that it will make the day really special for me. It will be nice to just be able to have fun with them and get to take a step back from having to be a rational parent. It will be fun over the years to see what they pick to do. Last night when I was talking to Mackenzie about it, we were going through choices she had, and she was saying things like going to the store. So cute that just going to the store with mom would have been a special thing to her! And I have high hopes that in the end this will work out in my favor. If the kids get in the routine that this is what Mother’s Day is, then when Mackenzie is a teenager and I never see her anymore, much less her sit and have a conversation with me, that maybe one of those Mother’s day her present to me will be that I get to choose what we do. And then I can make her sit on a park bench the whole day and tell me everything about her life!
Happy Mother's Day to all those moms out there, escpecially my mom and Denise.
Other than that we have Mackenzie's soccer game tomorrow, that is as long as it doesn't get rained out. I should have lots to post by Sunday night.
