Happy Mother's Day, To MEEEE!

Anna came up with the idea for the cake. She decided on a white cake with white icing. Her and Dave made it all from scratch. She was also in charge of the decorating. Isn't it awesome? I like how she concentrated each individual component in one area. Jonathan did the lettering, Happy Mother's Day, and drew some of the figures on the cake with gel. I love that Dave really let them decorate it all by themselves. By the time I got home on Mother's Day, Anna had long been asleep, but Jonathan stayed up so late because he wanted to give me my presents. He was so excited. And Anna remembered right when she woke up the next morning and had to show me everything all over again.
Jonathan has the super cute hedgehog I brought the kids home from New Hampshire. They LOVE their hedgehogs. Jonathan named his Diarrhea, said that this was his superhero name. He keeps saying, DIARRHEA TO THE RESCUE! and giggling. Ahhh, potty humor. Shouldn't we be past this yet? (Although, I do have to think that Diarrhea coming to the rescue is funnier on a deeper level than just potty humor.)
The flowers they got me. Anna picked some out that had a big sunflower, which are my favorite. And I also love the yellow roses that are tinged with orange. I really like my flowers. Anna was also in charge of picking these out. She got two different arrangements that "matched." Dave said she really deliberated over them. She had to decide on the colors first, and then she had to inspect each individual flower and reject those that had imperfections. She is so funny about stuff like this.
Jonathan ran up to me and gave me a huge hug and said, I really missed you a lot, Mama. And I gave him a big smoocheroo on his forehead, and he actually didn't wipe it off for once. It is sort of a longstanding joke between us. I said, what, you aren't going to wipe that one off? And he said, no, I want to keep that one. Then he told me he just wanted to stay home from school the next morning so he could "just hug me and stuff." I really missed them a lot. I don't think I will leave them again on Mother's Day weekend.
