or I should say Mother's Weekend, since that is what it really was!
So my Mother's weekend started Friday when I got home from subbing. And horrible does not begin to describe my day of subbing, but I won't go there. When I got home, Cory was in the kitchen with both kids on the counter and there was a home-made card and a store bought card on the counter. First he gave me the home-made one. I instantly started crying. He helped Halle make me a card and it is something that I will cherish forever. Then I was given the store bought card from him...he wrote a sweet message and said he had a suprise for me and to close my eyes. I knew he was going to suprise me with something for Mother's day, but I had no idea I was going to get it 2 days early. When he told me to open my eyes he was holding the camera that I have been wanting for a very long time. I was so excited! I of course started snapping pics immediately even though I had no idea how to use this fancy camera. I am learning... Friday night we had dinner with Cory's family at the restaurant in Bass Pro, followed by dessert at Chick-Fil-A.
Saturday, we...I mean I, had a relaxing day. Cory did some work around the house and washed my Yukon while I played with the kids. Then he came in and took a nap with the kids. Yes, both kids napping at the same time! So this allowed me to go outside and read and enjoy the breeze. After dinner, we took Halle for a special outing since she has been doing so well with keeping her pants dry (we recently had a couple of bad weeks). We took her to Barnes and Noble to pick out a book and my girl LOVES the book store! She was sold on the Abby Cadabby book that came with a magic wand so that is what she got. We then took her to Marble Slab for some ice cream - vanilla with sprinkles. Halle was so excited about her outing that we assured her that if she kept up the good work, that there would be plenty more fun outings.
Sunday morning Cory got up with Cole and let me and Halle sleep in. When we woke up he had biscuits and coffee ready. We went to church and then came home for a relaxing afternoon. Sunday evening we headed over to my parent's house for dinner. Dad smoked ribs, chicken and sausage and we had potatoes and salad on the side. And to top it off, my dad made a yummy cake for dessert (yes, my dad bakes)...Angel food cake filled with chocolate pudding and bananas YUM!
This weekend was wonderful! I feel so blessed to have an amazing husband, beautiful children and a fantasic family!
