Week 276: Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day was this last weekend, and while it was kind of low-key, everybody seemed to enjoy it. It started with Mandy’s wishing me a happy Mother’s Day, then after a short correction and new instructions, she wished Geralyn a happy Mother’s Day. I made breakfast and dinner (not at the same time) and Geralyn was given some car keys and released into the wild for a few hours. She returned with new shoes.

A few days prior to that Geralyn had gone to a “Mother’s Day Tea” or something at Sam’s preschool where the teachers lined the children up and let them shout at their mothers under the pretense that it was some sort of full throated singing. Geralyn captured the video below, and I think that given the established correlation between shakey camera movements and “folksy authenticity,” holding the camera sideways was actually a stroke of brilliance. It in no way diminishes the feeling of full body enthusuasm that Sam had at singing “something something something …HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!”

Don’t you agree?

And just to further prove the miracle of the season, here are a couple of pictures where Sam and Mandy actually cooperated and posed for the camera, OCASSIONALLY AT THE SAME TIME:

At any rate, Geralyn, something something something …happy Mother’s Day!
