Cast-Wielding Reese Witherspoon's Mother's Day

Not letting a minor injury get in the way of her special day, Reese Witherspoon attended a Mother's Day church service with husband, Jim Toth, and her kids, Ava and Deacon, in Santa Monica, CA on Sunday (May 8).

Wearing a soft cast on her injured foot, the "Legally Blonde" actress hobbled around the venue following the day-beginning sermon before loading the family into the car and heading off for a Mother's Day brunch.

Miss Witherspoon's family outing comes as she just returned to the States following an intense multi-city overseas press tour for her new movie "Water For Elephants".

During one of the stops, Reese chatted with Daily Mail about her roller-coaster of a recent life, saying, "I?ve had ups and downs, emotions that haven?t always been sunny and it?s really important to have a support system."

The recently remarried actress continued, "I think the early part of raising children is very physical and then the later part is very emotional. It?s complicated making big decisions about how to guide a life and soul in this world. I?m very lucky that I have really good girlfriends."

As for her own matriarch, Witherspoon told, "I have a very optimistic mother ? she?s taught me to see the bright side of things, and when you have children you don?t have a choice. You can?t just sit around and feel bad about yourself. You?ve got to take them to school, you?ve got to pick them up. They look at you as the guiding compass of how to behave in life."

"Some days I didn?t want to get out of bed, but as someone said to me when I first had kids, Being a parent stops the horrible cycle of self-obsession," she added.
