Mother's Day Weekend Recap

We were originally gonna to truck it into DC for the day for some more museum/sight seeing, but when Saturday morning rolled around we were all a little exhausted from a busy week and just wanted some cuddle time/relaxing around the house.  Except it turned more into a furious race to mark things off my house "to-do" list :) Which always makes me feel better and sets my little mind at ease.  We worked into a trip to Lowe's to get some stuff for the yard (yes we have decided to stop looking like that white trash family, you know the one that has several cars hidden in their weeds/bushes that you are sure to find when it finally gets cut).  Sadly I do not have a shameful before picture of our disdainful yard, nor do I have an after picture...yet!  We did some serious work on our front yard. The bushes were seriously reaching out to grab you on your walk up our front steps...embarrassing.  We were productive.

We also stopped by Pot Belly's for a quick lunch.  Noah is now going through this "fun" phase where every meal requires a distraction...keys (his toy keys), musical toy, chew toy, etc.  No distraction = Noah swatting the spoon full of food or grabbing the spoon and throwing it.  Yes that is another "fun" phase we are going threw...throwing things! :P  He's still a wonderful eater, just not when he sees the spoon coming at him :P  We've found that eating is public is the best medicine for this little dilemma because Noah is my child...he is SUPER nosey.  He has to look at all the people and see everything that is going on around him.

Saturday night we went over to the Zelmans for supper.  It was nice for Noah to spend time with his Nana, Grandpa, Aunt Liz and his crazy uncles. We wrapped up the night by playing Cards Against Humanity. It's like Apples to Apples, but the completely inappropriate adult version.  I cannot tell you how many times I've almost peed my pants playing this game!

Sunday was fabulous! My boys really set the bar for the BEST MOTHER'S DAY EVER! :)  My day started off with breakfast in bed.

Yummy Breakfast!

Noah helped Daddy make the pancakes by shaking up the batter!

Shake shake shake!

Snack break!

 The boys got me my very own "I love Mom!" mug with some of my very favorite Noah pictures of them, this was a HUGE surprise since I didn't realize that Matt had his own shutterfly account...sneaky sneaky! :) They also got me some new pearl earrings which Mama needed very badly (my previous studs had fallen off the post so many times I could no longer super glue them back on..fail!)

The icing on the Mother's Day cake however, was the SWEET two hour family nap we took later that morning before we headed off to have lunch at Sakura! :)

Ready for a yummy lunch with my boys! :)

No time for pictures I gotta be ready in case they need me to fan out those flames over at this other table!

I am so blessed to be married to that Big Bear and be the Mama to that Little Bear!
