This Mother's Day was a wonderful day and I was treated like a queen from beginning to end! I had sent the hubby a few pointers of what I'd like to do for the day (like a hilarious blog post i saw online of ten things mom really want for Mother's Day) and he really pulled through on making it special.
My day started by him taking Cody out in the morning in attempts of letting me sleep in. Cody decided 15 min later to cry up a storm and I woke up but it was still a great morning because he got the kids their small breakfast. Alyssa gave me her gifts she made me in school and they were so sweet!!!! she made me a painting that I plan on framing and putting in their playroom, and she wrote a book about me and it was hilarious!! He got the kids dressed and ready and we headed out for our first meal out aka- I'm not cooking today LOL. We wanted to do a brunch and tried out a diner that had huge burgers and the most tasty garlic fries I've ever had!!! I'm a huge garlic fan and thankfully he is too so we shared the huge basket lol.
We then took the kids to get their hair cut, is it weird that we chose to do this on Mother's Day? It just came up in conversation at brunch and we decided to just take them in after brunch if they could be squeezed in and it worked out for them to get their haircut :)
We went home and I got a lovely and soothing foot and hand rub from my three loves. They also painted my toenails and it was such a terrible job but at the same time the BEST pedi I've ever had! Seeing my 6 year old try so hard and my hubby try even harder to paint my toes was so adorable I was smiling from ear to ear :)
After relaxing from all the pampering I took my nap- and let me say this- OMG a nap in the day when it's not in the "newborn" stage is unheard of around here! It was pure bliss and I woke up feeling refreshed; and starving ready for a Thai feast!
We were driving to the restaurant when he hands me a paper. Instead of buying me a card, he decided to write a letter. He is like most guys in the sense that he's not very romantic and I've learned that this is just how he is, it doesn't mean he loves me any less than he does. So to read this was soooo sweet and surprising and unexpected! In his words, "I wanted to give you something from my heart, not just a prewritten card someone else wrote" I thought my day couldn't get any better but this letter was the best part of my day, well besides getting Alyssa's gifts she made me at school. :)
So we went to the restaurant, had a lovely dinner and I truly must say, having an entire day off from my "mom duties" was EXACTLY what I needed. I feel refreshed and appreciated. It was a wonderful Mother's Day for me and I can only hope all you other mommies out there felt the same kind of love and appreciation I felt from my little family. :)
