Mother's Day

This had to be one the best days! It truly was a wonderful weekend. Saturday started out by my mom and I going to do a little shopping while Chris took the boys shopping. We had about 4 hours of uninterrupted shopping time! It was great! We found AMAZING sales, and I got several new summer items to add to the wardrobe. It had a been a long time since we got to shop/hangout like that without trying to entertain children the whole. We even stopped for lunch out together! By that afternoon,the sun had come out and Chris took Jack up to the HS baseball game. Cole and I followed shortly after he woke up from his nap. We decided to go to church Saturday night as Chris had planned a special brunch for Sunday. :)

Jack, in all his glory, came running in Sunday morning with a present that he had been hiding in his room all day yesterday! I couldn't believe he didn't spill the beans. He was so excited to give it to me. I love his excitement as this stage! If only we all got that excited over little things, the world might be a little happier! :) Well, we had reservations at Cheesecake factory for brunch at 9:30 so we had a morning of leisure getting ready and heading out. I got to read my book, hang out with my favorite men, and enjoy the day. We window shopped a bit at the mall after breakfast then headed home to spend the afternoon outside. We spent the afternoon out by the garden. Chris, Dave and dad worked on that (and our sweet corn got planted) while the kids napped and played. I got to veg out in the lawn chair and read most of the afternoon while getting a little sun. It was prefect! I am blessed to be a mom, to have a wonderful mom, and have lots of great friends who are mom. Thanks to my boys for making feel so special.
