Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a little different this year with the stay at home order.  We couldn't go to our usual spot for brunch, but we made the best of it.  We were actually driving home from our road trip on Mother's Day.  We were 10 minutes from home when we got in a car accident.  We were coming around a curve on the highway by White Sox park when a car stopped in the middle of the lane with car trouble.  There was no shoulder so the car in front of us slammed on their brakes and so did we, but with the rain we were hydroplaning.  We slammed on our breaks as soon as possible, but with the rain it was impossible to fully stop so we rear-ended the car in front of us.  The tow truck quickly came and moved the car with problems while we got off on 18th street and waited for the cops.  The police officer did not give Craig a ticket luckily (he mentioned he wouldn't do that because it was Mother's Day), but it definitely did a lot of damage.  At least no one was hurt.  Afterwards we ordered food and enjoyed Gibson's Italia for dinner.  The next day our au pair, Marina, helped the boys make cookies for me.  It was so cute!  They made the cookies and decorated them with icing and sprinkles.   They also made really sweet pictures for me along with a message all about me.  I was so happy to get these cute sentimental things from the boys.  I'm so lucky and blessed.
