happy mother's day!

I'm not sure what it is about mother's day, but I've had two now and still no good pictures of me and the one who makes me a mother.  :)

I've dreamed of that perfect shot -- we're dressed to coordinate and I have on lipstick and he's looking straight into my eyes with a big huge smile and his hands are on my cheeks and the wind is blowing our hair and the sun is shining through the trees in the background.  I will blog it and frame it and remember it always as my very special second mother's day. 

Bahahahaha.  That dream was before I had a toddler!  A toddler with a mind of his own! 
This year, this was about as good as we could do.

Despite the lack of photographs to prove it, I had a wonderful mother's day weekend.  On Saturday, my husband gave me a day to myself, which was amazing.  I was pampered with a massage, a haircut, lunch with my boys, a pedicure, some shopping, and dinner out with Honey and Cramer!  It was really wonderful.

Sunday was spent doing things that make me a mom.  And believe it or not, that day was just as special.  We built forts and played cars.  Took a family trip to the grocery store and had dinner with the in-laws. 

Speaking of in-laws.  I can't believe I'm going to share this but it makes me laugh out loud every time I think about it.  It seems as though my MIL overestimated the size of my derriere and gave me these as a mother's day gift!

Happy mother's day!
