I had a fantastic Mother’s Day weekend. My weekend started when I picked up the girls from school. Since it was Friday, we also had to bring home all their stuff from the week (e.g., blankets). Since it was Mother’s Day weekend, we also had to bring home my gifts. It was beautiful out, so I walked to school to get them…with only the stroller…getting home with all that stuff was very interesting as my gifts were much larger than expected!
Here is M with the gift *she* made me:
B gave me a squash plant she grew from seed at school. I KNOW Jason took a picture of her and me in front of it after we planted it, but I’ll be damned if I can find it. Here is one way after the fact (mid-June).
Jason got me a beautiful gift – he definitely spoils me! Next time you are here, I’ll show it to you.
Friday night there was a neighborhood “kick off the summer” party. The kids had a great time running around, chasing each other, dancing to music, eating snow cones,.. you know, all that fun kid stuff. On Saturday, I got the whole morning to myself to do whatever I wanted, including getting a lovely and relaxing pedicure! Saturday night we went to an early dinner for sushi (B loves to go so she can get “brown noodles”), which we followed up with ice cream. B had a great time admiring all the pretty girls in their pretty prom dresses (and has since decided dresses are her favorite outfits!). Sunday morning, Jason planned on making me pancakes for breakfast (we rarely go out to eat on Mother’s Day – restaurants are crazy busy!). That is until B declared she was taking me to McDonalds for free Mother’s Day breakfast. I admit, it would not have been my first choice, but she was SO excited, and we had such a good time! We had a very relaxing day, where we planted my squash plant and just hung out. I wish I could post more pictures, but I really don’t have any. I was pampered and taken care of and quite simply never picked up the camera.
