Happy Mother's Day

My Mother's Day celebration started Saturday. My husband and children took me to my favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch. I can still smell the yummy fried chicken chimichanga with guacamole and chips and salsa. Yum Yum Yum. Then Saturday night I went out with two friends for a pedicure and a drink at a restaurant with an outdoor patio. It looked like rain, but we were spared. My blue arctic martini was very good, but just hanging out with friends and getting to talk and catch up was wonderful.

After church on Sunday my children wanted to take me out for ice cream. Well, they really wanted ice cream; and there, of course, was Mother's Day to consider so they thought if they made it a present for me, Dad would concede. It worked and I even got Panera for lunch first! But a child sized scoop of cookie dough ice cream on a sugar cone was a great dessert idea.

The rest of the afternoon the girls played outside, it was the first day in almost two weeks where it didn't rain at some point. I remembered to call my own mother and then my husband and I watch old Office episodes on Netflix. A pretty nice weekend I'd say.
