Benny sporting his "MOM" tattoo for me! Love it! Logan wanted nothing to do with his little tattoo. I have a feeling that will be how the future is, too: Logan will not consider a tattoo, but Bennett will come home with one someday and be like "What's the big deal, Mom?".
It was beautiful outside so the boys ran around while I scanned the neighborhood for someone who was awake to help me at 8:30 on Mother's Day. No luck. I didn't have the guts to go knocking so I called John and he had time to swing home and get us started! We were a little late, but church was a lovely service honoring moms so it was fun to be there!
Our first stop was in Woodbury at Kids Hair to get the boys out-of-control hair cut. I was happy they were open on a Sunday and I called on the way to get appointments. Logan was a superstar and now has a super short 'do! Bennett was a stinker (surprised?), sat on my lap, and screamed, "Stop it!" "Owweeee!!" the whole time. It was pretty embarrassing. I felt bad for Bennett, since I was holding him in vice grips, but the boy couldn't see past his bangs anymore! Again...Happy Mother's Day to me.
See that short haircut! Wow! Logan suddenly looks like a 12 year old.
Maybe you can't see much difference on B's hair, but it was soooo long. Its still not short, but its better. I'm impressed by how quick she cut his hair while he was squirming and screaming.
Just as we were arriving at my parents' house after haircuts, John called and said he had just gotten off the phone with the police department. They reported a "drive off" at the gas station I visited before I left Eau Claire. Apparently, I was the suspect, via video. WHAT?! Once again...Happy Mother's Day to me. Here's how the conversation went:
John: "Hey honey..."
Jill: "Hi! We just made it. I was gonna call and tell you, but we just got here and we're unloading the kids."
John: "Okay, great, I have a funny question for you...do you have a minute?"
Jill: (thinking...uhoh, what could have happened?) "Sure"
John: "Well, I just got a call from Tony Hudson (a friend of ours), from the Lake Hallie Police Department (uh-oh!), and he said there was a reported gas drive off and your license plate was the suspected theft vehicle." At this point, John admitted he thought I was going to say, "oh my goodness! I did forget"...or something crazy like that...I am a little crazy lately.
Well, I had printed a receipt, so I was able to give John the transaction number and time stamp to prove my innocence! So, John had to visit the gas station to clear my name and then call back our friend from church, who is a part time police officer to assure him that I, the pastor's wife, had not driven off without paying for my fuel like a criminal! Yikes! Crazy stuff. Makes a good story...
The boys and I really enjoyed the day with family. The boys played and were happy to see everyone. Amy and Andrew brought fruit, Kyle and Ali brought dessert and since we were such a last minute add-on, I didn't bring anything. I felt bad but Amy said, "That's ok, you brought the entertainment" as the boys danced around and kept everyone laughing.
I wanted a photo with both of the boys, but it just didn't happen.
Benny was snuggled in with his blankie and puppy, so I just snuck in for a photo.
It was a crazy, fun-filled day! The boys and I headed home at bedtime and I enjoyed some quiet time to end the day before meeting John back at home. Happy Mother's Day to me...it was great!

Wow, what an eventful day! I'm glad I won't see your van on Wanted posters anytime soon. Definitely a memorable Mom's Day. Can't wait to see you soon!
