mother's day.

or just more craziness.

so today was mother's day.  it was a sweet day.  unlike others, i don't think it's a day about getting things.  some people measure the day by what they get.  oh, don't get me wrong, i got some lovely things.  but things.  but really the best parts of the day were laughing with my littles, seeing their crazy happiness and knowing that i'm a part of that and enjoying their smiles, giggles and silliness.  the big hugs and kisses, the flowers that they picked out themselves, the paintings they made me at school.  those are things that i treasure about today.  seeing their shadows on a gorgeous spring day, laughing at delight on our walk over a bridge on the plaza the simple things that that bring wonder and smiles to their faces.  the joy in knowing that i'm their mom.

so really it's not about things.  it's about the things they bring to my life everyday.  smiles, laughs, happiness, wonder, awe, insight and peace.
