Would you like a towel with that? Or perhaps a firehose?

It could be worse. It could include giants and grasshoppers!
 

That's just super!

Day two.

Honestly, all I did for this one was draw what's in my wife's closet.
 

A voice of warning unto the family

I'm sick today, so I'm rerunning this one from last year. It's a good reminder.
 

In the words of my mother…

Don’t you just hate it when your mom won’t even write your talk for you?!
 

A voice of warning

 

It's never too early to make plans for Mother's Day. 

You have been warned.

If only I had some ideas!

I have that same problem.
 

A gift from the heart

I don't know how well macaroni necklaces hold up, but I've still got several of the construction paper neckties that my kids made for Father's Day when they were little.

And, honestly, I think my mom would have loved it had I made her a kimchi necklace!

 

Each mom in her time plays many parts

Happy Mother's Day (USA) weekend to all!

There are upsides and downsides for missionaries being able to talk to their families each week!
 

Thanks for sharing, mom!

Hold on to your cookies, mom! Happy Mother's Day!
 

The gifts that keep on giving

From what I've heard, it's not just our house that looks like this on Mother's Day.
 

Meanwhile at the Lion House

One of the downsides of plural marriage, I would suppose. But it probably helped keep the florists in business!
 

Remember last year?

That's what Mother's Day was like a year ago. Remember?

I'm taking a bit of a break, so I'll be running a batch of reruns for the next little while. Enjoy! 

Tell you what I want, what I really, really want...

Time with the kids? Check!

The best presents are surprises!

There were a few years where I had to closely supervise what the kids got mom for Mother's Day. Otherwise she'd wind up with Pokémon cards, the latest video game, or a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

They do better now. Last year she only got one bag of snack food!

You shouldn't have

You know how in school or Primary, kids often make the best handmade presents for Mother's Day? That got me to thinking that there weren't a lot of shopping options for Lehi's family out there in the desert. So naturally they'd make their presents for Sariah, right? And Nephi is best known for making (a) a ship, (b) a bow, and (c) gold plates. Which of those would make the best gift for mom out there?

Sketchbook: Thanks, Mom!

The missionaries for our ward came to our house to make their Mother's Day phone calls, plus we got our call from our missionary. It was like a great big family reunion!

Getting ready for Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

Be nice to a mom this week. They deserve it!

Treats for mom!

Happy Mother's Day!
