Mark had to work an overnight installing a photo location at Disney. (That’s really when the magic happens.) What does this have to do with Mother’s Day? I’ll tell you…MARK got to sleep in this morning, not me!
I tried to keep the boys quiet, so I let them play outside:
Zeke played with a bucket on his head. How much money have we spent on toys?And Nate...well, Nate likes to "make mud, not war".
Since baths were needed, I decided (after yet another morning of screaming bed-head taming) since the temperature has hit the 90s, that it was time for the summer buzz cuts. Nate’s been through it several years in a row and loves it but it was Zeke’s first dance with the clippers.
Before...
After!
Zeke took a LOT more coaxing…Dora on the TV; popsicle in hand AND a promised lollipop when it was all done. Hey, I’m not ashamed. I would have let him drink wine and smoke cigarettes if it would have made him sit still.
Before...(yeah, I know)
After!
Then Mark woke up and it was Mother’s Day.
The best part of the entire day was a call from the Larkins:
“Noah’s counts are still good. How’s your end?”
“No one in our house is sick…not even a sniffle!”
“The planets are aligned.”
“We’ll be right over.”
Nate & Noah played Star Wars; Zeke & Landin played like they were twins; Mark & Dennis played with computers while Amber & I sat outside and drank a glass of Mother’s Day wine.
We listened to our children play & laugh and for a precious few hours, pretended it was 8 months ago.
OMG, I love the haircuts… it’s the best thing for the summer. I used to do it to my boys every year, plus it’s much easier to clean after the mud baths. 🙂
So glad that you got to see the Larkins, I was just Tweeting with Dennis and I know things are a little rough, so I’m glad Noah had some fun over the weekend. I’m also glad that Amber & Dennis got some rest and fun with you guys… they sure needed it. Hugs to you all and Happy Mother’s day, you ROCK!!

Besides not being able to recognize my own kids at the park…I love how it feels. I keep “petting” their heads!

does the fact that old ladies keep calling my boy a girl mean i need to give him a haircut? naaah…
happy mother’s day to you and your friends – so glad you were able to be together!
Maybe you could grow a moustache on him like his Daddy!
