My Mother's Day consisted mainly of sleep-related gifts. First, Mark got up with Annalyn and took her to the grocery store, so I could sleep in. Next, they came home and piled into bed with me so Annalyn could shower me with kisses and cuteness. Then, after eating a late breakfast and playing some more, Annalyn took a nap . . . and so did I.
That's right: sleeping in and a nap. I sure can't complain, can I?
After the Big Sleep of 2009, we all got ready for the day (and don't even point out that half the day was gone, thank you very much!) and headed out. I thought it would be a great day to walk around a shopping center, maybe get some ice cream.
That was before the cold front moved in and the rain started.
So it turns out we spent our afternoon at Target. Which is fun, of course. The good news is that we went to a fancy new Target with fancy new carts (See below for someone else's photo. Because of course I didn't think to take my camera on this big trip.). The bad news is that Annalyn was not interested in spending her Mother's Day in the Target store. And she made that abundantly clear.

What? Doesn't your child demand to hold every item in the cart and then chuck them across the aisle? Just ours, huh?Well, we all survived. And to polish off this momentous day, we played some more, went to bed late only to be awake at 4:30 a.m.
Apparently, Annalyn wants to make sure I don't get used to that fully rested feeling.
