Oh what a day I had!

What a wonderful mothers day I had!
These cute people here were the ones that were responsible. Kristy bought me a new crock pot. I had a very small one, and a very large one. The small one was good for just Robert and me. The large one was great for big family dinners. The problem was when I just wanted to cook a roast or something like that. The big one cooked it up too fast and turned it into shoe leather. The small one was too small for the roast. I tried to put tin foil over it to kind of extend the capacity of the cooker. All this did was let the juice escape and run down the sides. Woe is me. The new one Kristy gave me is perfect. She then cooked a marvelous dinner of some chicken stuff that was made into tortilla things. Who knew she could cook so well?
The little girls made fabulous cards. The wrote the messages and spelled them themselves. Allie's card had these tricky paper envelopes built into the card. Sarah gave me her favorite saying to put on my wall. I must say it looks nice. She also treated me to a gift card from Kneaders Bakery.
Jill's gift was very creative. She made an accordion photo album. Inside of it were the kids pictures and their reasons why they like their grammy. I have to say a lot of the reasons evolved around the way I spoil them! It's paying off.
Lauri the sweet thing bought me a classy outfit. I loved it and it fit perfectly. All in all no mom could have asked for a better day. I hope they enjoyed their day half as much. I wonder though. Wes was coming down with a cold and Audrey found the permanent red magic marker. Her new dress and shoes will never be the same.
