Mother's Day

I know, a little late in posting this, but I had too much that I wanted to get out last week that I couldn't post this any earlier.

This Mother's Day was the first one that Brett took Ty to the store and let him pick out my Mother's Day gift(s). Brett asked Ty, "what should we get mommy for a present?" Ty replies, "cups." Plain and simple. Yes, cups.

Let me back-track a bit and explain a bit. The last two gifts that Ty has helped give have been cups. I bought both sets of grandparents some small, plastic, kid cups to keep at their houses because neither one had any. After I bought them, I had Ty give them to each set of grandparents as a present for no particular reason, but to just give a present to someone else.

Okay, back to Ty wanting to get ME cups. Get it now? Yeah, makes sense in the mind of a 2 1/2 year old. So, Brett and Tyson went to Target and Brett let him pick out the brightest yellow acrylic cup with bright yellow straw, just like the green ones that Ty and I have at home, except he got me the 20 ounce cup! Talk about a dream come true. And no, I'm not joking. I love those insulated cups. Love them! Obviously, Ty knows that I love them, too!

Along with my yellow cup, I got a four pack of bright orange kid cups!! Ha! It still makes me smile to recall pulling those out of the gift bag. See my back-tracking for the explanation, if you missed it.

Also in the gift bag was a FIFTY (50) pack of Crayola markers!! I love to color. I love to color with Ty. How perfect was that? I know, part of his gift was self-serving, but really, when you get down to it, there really isn't anyone on the planet that spends as much time coloring with him than myself. I'm actually surprised I didn't get a bunch of stickers, too.

And because Brett didn't want me to just end up with a bag full of crap (in the event Ty didn't do so stellar), I also got a gift certificate for a pedicure at my favorite salon. Perfect!

It was a pretty good Mother's Day all in all. I spent the majority of it with my little family and we did carry-out for supper. Dream come true. Loved every moment spent with them.

Signing off for now, to all of you near and far and to those of you wondering what in the "h" this has to do with chewing, working out or motivation, until next time...
