Mother's Day: Maybe the best one yet (In random picture order thanks a lot, Blogger)

 I slept in a little this morning after realizing that Dorothy was up for the day at 4:47 and handing her to Ben who did a little online teaching in the quiet 90 minutes before everyone else woke up.

Then I ate cookies for breakfast, had a killer workout (shaved 4 minutes off my PR and would have done a 5K in under 30 minutes, which is big for me-- I did MORE than 3.5 miles, but the first 5K was fast), and got ready for fancy brunch.  And I only got myself ready-- and Dorothy at the last second.  Ben did everyone else.

We went downtown for the brunch that has become legendary to the children.  They talk about it all the time and tell me that someday they'll bring their kids.

Dorothy smelled the tulips so aggressively that she kept face planting.  HA!

 All I could do was laugh at her because it was SO CUTE.

 Now THAT is a fucking CORSAGE

 I wish we had taken more pictures before we turned her loose with tons of food.  But here she is still pretty dainty.

 BACON

 Harrison went to the omelet station first thing.  He actually had a whole plan of buffet attack mapped out in advance.

 Jack-- he ate more sausage in one sitting than I thought was possible.

 For awhile all I could do was sit there and hold a glass of water in one hand and a kids' cup of crushed ice in the other.  Erm.

 SO MANY DESSERTS. 

 Seriously.  The sausage.

 She had some strawberry shortcake.

 Also a fan of the dessert selection.

 Smelling the tulips.

 She liked em

 He was a statue

 And then she started to freak out and it was time to go home.

 See?

 LOVE the side eye I am giving the Jack situation

 Cooper picked his nose in 95% of our pictures

 OMG she's so rowdy

 Ben planted his garden today!

 A cute little boy lineup

 Another angle of all Cooper's desserts

 Whipped cream?  Cupcake? Hard to say.

 Walking in with our devices.

 Bloody Marys.  Plural.

 Can you blame me?

 Look at Cooper;s little smushy face.  He appears to be mocking us.

The boys rolled down the Capitol hill for awhile.  Longer than you;d think people would want to roll down a hill.

And then we all took naps and Ben grilled dinner.  The end.
