I must admit, I was leery of Mother's Day this year. Jon got off of a 30 hour shift today at noon (not to mention a 90 hour work week). Luckily, he managed to get 5 hours of sleep last night at the hospital.
Jon walked in the door with a dozen pink roses & box of chocolates (which I devoured within the hour. This should not be a shock for those of you who know me well. The way to my heart is through chocolate:) I had an idea to visit Conner Prairie. Its an interactive history park. The kids loved the petting zoo. The spring lambs, kids, & calfs were cute. I loved touring the historical homes & buildings. The high point of Conner Prairie was riding in their hot air balloon (Pun Intended. Sorry, I couldn't resist.). There was a cable connecting the balloon to the ground but we were high enough to see miles & miles of the surrounding area. We ended our adventure with dinner at Paradise Cafe. I got my usual half veggie sandwich, half fire roasted tomato soup (never disappoints), followed with a slice of carrot cake.
Oh ya, Madelyn made me a gift at church. It was 2 Hershey kisses inside her hand made box. She said, "this is for you mommy...the chocolates are for me & Ansley!!!!"
Madelyn also made me a card at preschool. Her teacher wrote in the card what Madelyn wanted to say. It read, "You're my happy Valentine! I love you b/c I like to snuggle with you! Love, Madelyn"
