Happy Mother's Day to ME!

Yesterday, Nate and I came down with a nasty stomach virus.  Not fun.  We're still fighting it off.  Caleb is currently eating uncooked rice pasta (he calls it "crunchy pasta") for lunch while standing a few feet from the TV, watching The Lorax.  Russell is being really clingy, after a day of me either laying in bed or laying on the couch.  I threw up 3 times and lost seven pounds.  Nate lost count of how many times he threw up.  It was at least seven.  And guess what else?  Nate hadn't taken the boys shopping for my Mother's Day gift yet.  He had planned to do that on Saturday.  Those plans were foiled!

But I got the best gift this morning!  Sprite in bed (my stomach is still a bit sensitive), a dandelion and a tulip, a song sung by Mr. Caleb, and this Q&A (answers provided by Caleb):
