Last weekend, I took a trip with some work friends to Boston for some R and R. Shopping,Spa, dinner, brunch and laughs....It was nothing short of amazing.
J was traveling for two straight weeks so I got to be there to see my Boy become a BEAR scout. He's so proud of all the work he did this year.
And Mother's Day! One of my favorite days of the year. I think it's real easy to have high expectations for this holiday, you know that no one will argue, bicker and that you won't have to do a stitch of laundry. After totally letting go of all of that, Mother's days have been amazing ever since. All the little homemade surprises just totally melt my heart every year. They work so hard on them, and I think L even mentioned this year that he was worried that it wasn't "ENOUGH". God ALSO delivered a hot and humid day.,in which to get the garden planted.
Kids went swimming in the pool!
WE ran the traditional Mother's Day 5K.
They watched some Pink Panther (love that they are into vintage cartoons)
They collected rocks.
And they made me strawberry cream cheese stuffed french toast that was to die for. Later in the afternoon, of course there was lacrosse, and then a blueberry cheesecake ice cream cone on the way home.
SO grateful I get to be their Mom and see their lives unfold. I definitely don't always get things right, or have all the answers. I definitely am not always kind, calm and collected. But we are making it. They truly are growing up. Sometimes I can't breathe just thinking about it and then I remember what wonderful people they are becoming. Really, the Best. Day.Ever.
