cheating a little - this one was taken Saturday.
Sunday started out with a blank slate - no plans. "The boys" got me a gift card to my favorite spa for a pedicure and 1 hour Swedish massage. So looking forward to that pampering! Theo has been asking to go to Scotty's for a few weeks now, so I told him to ask daddy if he could take me there for Mother's Day. If you're local, and especially if you're local and you have kids, you need to go there! They have a great kids' menu and kids eat free on Sundays and Tuesdays. Little did I know that moms received a free dessert as well on Mother's Day! All around win. Food was delicious. The boys cleaned their plates!
Afterwards, we talked about where we could go and what we could do downtown that the boys would enjoy. It was a beautiful day, but a little chilly so the Central Library seemed like a good option. The boys had never been and I had not been there in a long time. I think we were all awestruck at the enormity of the open space inside. It is a beautiful, historic building that underwent a huge renovation a few years ago. Modern function meets classic beauty. The boys had fun playing on the computers, running from one end of the kids section to the other, and picking over a few million books. Afterwards, we strolled around outside a little bit and I only snapped a few pics on my phone that I am having trouble transferring to my email/computer. Boo.
We went home and the boys took LONG naps, Ryan cut the grass, and I tore everything out of our bathroom vanity and re-orgainzed like a mad woman. Then cleaned the soap scum out of our shower that had been building for longer than I care to admit. Doesn't sound too relaxing, but it's what I wanted. TIME. Time to do things that go beyond the basic laundry folding and dishwasher unloading. I need lots more of it, but nothing is so pressing that it can't wait. After they got up, we enjoyed a nice dinner and lounged around the rest of the evening. I couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day!
Oh, the boys were funny. Dexter kept saying Happy's Mother Day instead of Happy Mother's Day. Then Theo got confused and kept asking "can you tell me the words again?" I love those two little crazies. And their dad is a-okay too.
