Mother's Day Monster

OK, so the idea was supposed to be that the kids would say a nice sweet message to be the Mother's Day card for Gran (Chris's mom) and she and Pappaw could see it on the blog and enjoy it. Well, that would have been nice.

So, Sunday morning when Carter treated mommy with breakfast in bed, our first attempt at a sweet Mother's Day message turned out a little different that expected. Between Carter doing his best monster impression and Millie lifting her shirt for the camera (and the camera not focusing at all -- auto-focus, mind you), it wasn't quite what was envisioned.

Here it is:




So, try two came after lunch when we figured having a full belly of pizza would help out. And it did. Carter and Millie were sweet and cooperative in smiling for the camera and saying Happy Mother's Day to Nana (Amy's mom) as Nana got in her truck to leave the restaurant.

The voice in the background is Nana, who is sitting in her truck. Carter tries to explain to her that he is saying Happy Mother's Day to Gran, who is "in the camera".




So, Happy Mudder's Day, Gran. We love you and thanks for being a great mom for almost 31 years now.
