just a-havin' some fun on a weekend

Our Mother's Day tradition took a new spin this year, in addition to Saturday shopping with Daddy, the boys went fishing with their new rods! They were beyond excited, since they'd gotten a taste of it on Thursday, tho their attention spans are still not quite up for the full experience....they had the full-on wormguts experience and consider themselves fishermen now, so we shall see....

Jack's joy
Harry actually got the only bite of the afternoon but it was early and he wasn't sure what to do

I love Jack's toes in this shot - thanx for taking the pix, Dean!

They give me Saturday for all things girlie, so I game myself a mani/pedi, watched a chick flick, visited all my babies, and read a chick book. Complete relaxation and my ears were so happy all day long ;-) They were the best hugs ever, tho, once everyone got back home

Today was all about treats, of the family variety - they let me sleep in before presenting me with beautiful roses, both cut and ready for planting, a lovely windchime, and cards galore. The gifts and the sentiments were all loved! The boys were really on their best behavior all day :-)

After getting the house ready for people who cancelled (grrr), we headed out to the restaurant we found last Thursday - the day was perfect, about 75 degrees, wispy clouds and a gentle breeze, just perfect for outdoor dining! This was our view of the train and river

this was the decadent Orange Chiffon cake that ended my meal

this is Jack's attempt at taking our picture - we were *not* under the influence ;-)

this is Jack and me making funny faces while he does another self-portrait

our nice waitress was kind enough to snap a family shot

Thanx to all the mother-types who have touched my life - thanx to all our mothers for getting us this far! Hope everyone had a great weekend ~
