I hit the mother-load!

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! For the first time (probably) EVER, I didn't see my mother on Mother's Day this year because Don, the kids and I were out of town for the weekend with friends. And while I hated to not see MY mom, what a great weekend! It was filled with shopping, food, fun, and lots of laughter. What more could you ask for (except maybe a handbag... and I got that too!!!)?

Some highlights of the weekend:

• Did I already mention shopping? How about sales at an outlet mall?
• Too much coffee too late at night... HYPER!!!
• Watching the kids fish on the dock
• Staying in my pajamas until 2:00 pm on Mother's Day, WHILE the guys fixed us mamas an AWESOME brunch and served it to us on the screened-in porch overlooking the lake
• I don't believe I've mentioned SHOPPING yet. That was fun.
• Getting our friends as addicted to the game Rummikub as Don and I are becoming.
• Hearing about how fun the kids had swimming while the moms went... wait for it... SHOPPING.
• ICE CREAM.
• Don and I climbing in bed with Bub (he climbs in bed with us almost every morning), and waking him up like he usually does us. He loved it!
• Making the kids tell me Happy Mother's Day every time they talked to me. (I'd say "Happy" and they'd have to finish it)
• Oh. And guess what? I went shopping!
