mother's day 2011

Today was nothing very exciting. Jason and the boys bought my gift a few days ago. It was exactly what I asked for and we all went to the store to pick it out. It wasn't a surprise, but I also wasn't disappointed. It's a cutting mat, ruler/edge thing, and a roller fabric cutter (those are all technical terms).

Then Ethan made me this book and bought me a candle at the Dollar Store. The book is perfect. I love everything about it. It is supposed to be like a TIME Magazine interview with Ethan, about me. He did awesome.

The start of the story says, "Mrs. Guge (haha) is a good mom. Right now she is busy raising two children. She is cool. She is awesome and a fantastic mom."

Some of my favorite pages say:

Q: What do you like best about your mom?

A: She loves me and my brother.

Title: World Record Holder

Ethan: Mrs. Guge is a world record holder. She makes the best whoopie pies.

This book is something I will definitely hold onto. I can't wait until he's 16 and hates me and I get to pull it out and show him that he thought I was the best mom in the whole world. :)

This afternoon, we got to spend sitting outside in the wind and the rain watching Ethan's soccer game. This is pretty much how we all felt about it. He did have a goal though, and his team won, so he had a lot of fun during the game.  

Jason made dinner, and I made Whoopie Pies, and now we are all just hanging out and getting ready for bed. It was, all-in-all, a good day.

I also had to share this:
