One Nice one that is. That's all I wanted for Mother's Day. Easier said than done with 3 boys under the age of 3. One of the boys MUST be held, one usually has to be & well one is 2 years old... do I really need to say more. My day started off great. Jimmy only had feedings at 9:30pm & then again at 5am. Rick let me sleep in & took care of the boys all the while making me & his mom breakfast. I even got to go to the gym before it was picture time. All the boys were awake so there was actually a chance I could get all the boys in a photo with their mama. So here goes.
Jimmy was sitting on my lap & Johnnie came over to sit on my other lap, so I just needed to grab Joey but he wasn't so happy about that.
So then I put him on my lap & read a little to him & he was calm. All seemed well until I took Johnnie's pacifier out of his mouth. Tantrum galore. 
Okay so that wasn't working so I gave it back & he started to calm down. Sort of. 
Well this final photo is as good as it was gonna get. A pouty 2 year old. Cooperative toddler & baby looking forward. And a VERY HAPPY mama on her day. 
Thank you to my sons who made me a mama & in doing so have added so much to my life. I love you all more than you will ever understand (well until you are a parent yourselves.) And thanks to their daddy who gave me flowers, cards, a beautiful day & most importantly the chance to be a mama.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful mamas. Hope your day was filled with love.

I like the first picture the best. It so encompasses a day in the life.
Yep I had a series of pictures like that too, and I still didn't get one with both of them looking at the camera! Imagine what it will be like next year when you have 4....heeheehee
Happy Mother's Day Cathy!! You are a beautiful mama and your love for your boys shines through those photos!
