Mother's Day :)

Simply put, I had a fantastic Mother's Day!  Billy made me the most amazing dinner, I got to take the kiddos to the neighborhood park, and I got some fabulous presents!  

So here we go...We kicked off Mother's Day Saturday night with dinner...

First - dinner.  Billy made me my FAVORITE.  Alaskan King Crab Legs (oh, and beer).  You might be wondering why I have kitchen scissors?  Simple.  Once upon a time, my sister put on a crab leg opening clinic using scissors when we visited her in Alaska while I suffered with the traditional crackers - scissors rock.  There is no substitute.

And here's a good photo to give you guys a sense of scale.  These babies were HUGE!  

Next - Dessert.  If you know me, you know I love desert.  So the boys picked us up some gourmet cupcakes...Yum!

 Sunday - I slept in until SEVEN O'CLOCK!  Shocking!!!  Absolutely unheard of!!!!  Then the boys and I biked/walked/strollered to the park for some baseball and playtime.

 These guys are my angels...I am the luckiest person in the world to call them mine.  

 And lastly - Presents!  Will presented me with a tear-jerker of a card he made at school complete with several pages of poems, artwork, and a letter.

 Check out the note from my sweetie!  
Sidebar 1: they don't help the kiddos with spelling in his class, rather allow them to independently work on their grammar...he did really well! 
Sidebar 2: Will won the award for best penmanship in his class this year :) my little neat freak...

 And then there was little Johnny Boomtastick's fingerprint art.  I LOVE his photo with his silly hat...I can only imagine his antics during this art project at school!

My boys are incredible...this was the best Mother's Day I could have ever asked for.
