Mother's day and bats

I had a really wonderful mother's day!  Andrew made a book about me at school, he drew my picture on the front and wrote about me on the inside, and he was so excited to give it to me...I teared up a bit.  They went to the store and picked out the Disney movie "Hercules" for me and Emily got some new hair clips and said I could have half of them :)  Then we had dinner in the back yard and played some baseball and Emily and I fell asleep watching my new movie, it was perfect!

There are a couple of bat houses here in town.  I hate bats.  I have lived here for almost 13 years and have avoided going to see the bats that whole time.  BUT, Andrew and Emily wanted to see them so we went last week, then we went again last night (it's amazing the things you will do for your kids!)  And I have to admit is is actually pretty cool.  The kids really love watching them fly!  They fly out at dusk, and there are THOUSANDS of them, two huge house full and then more fly out of the woods behind the houses.
