Friday night Luke and I decided to take advantage of the "Drop-n-Shop" at the gym (you can drop your kids off for 3 hours and actually leave the gym grounds and go do what you want... BRILLIANT idea eh?) and we went to dinner... just the two of us! It was so nice to just sit and talk to my husband and not worry about anything. Jameson was busy playing with the kids at the gym and we had no responsibilities! We decided to try a place called Sushi Masa... Sushi you ask? Abby, eat sushi?? No, don't get too excited :-) Luke was really wanting to try this place and has really started to get a taste for sushi, so I took one for the team and said we could try it out as long as they had "cooked" meals to choose from as well. Dinner was great and to top off our date night, we even splurged on a little treat from DQ! By the time we picked J up, he was exhausted and ready to be home, bathed and in bed. What a perfect way to start off Mother's day weekend!!
Saturday... the best way to explain our Saturday... RELAXING! Luke and I had decided earlier in the week we wanted to go check out the Falls Park Farmers Market. So, once J was up from his morning nap, off we went. It was truly a beautiful morning. Sun was shinning, weather was perfect, baby was in a great mood... Life was wonderful! It was so tempting to not walk away from the market with hundreds of dollars worth of flowers, but I had to stay focused on dinner. haha Although I couldn't really spend time on flowers, I did take the time to scope out the BEST looking homemade cinnamon roll and once again, splurged and ATE..IT..ALL!! (by myself... no help from Luke!) mmmmm Boy it truly made my mouth water. We had a few more errands to run and then we headed home. The afternoon only got better... Jameson went down for a nap, Luke ran out to get a few things accomplished and I put my feet up, grabbed my book and sat out in the sun... alone... quiet.... :-) seriously PERFECT! On Luke's way home, he decided to surprise me and pick up a few last minute items to make our dinner (to go along with what we purchased at the market). Dinner was great, bath time was very entertaining and the day all around was..... PERFECT!
Not the best picture, but a quick shot of the market

Sunday... Mother's Day! WAHOO! Again, the weather was great! My boys took me out for a delicious brunch, we ventured to find flowers for one of my pots and then headed home. It was so nice out that I didn't want to be inside at all! I potted while the boys played on the deck. Jameson took a great nap, we ran to the grocery store, enjoyed a great dinner outside and then it was time for bath. I was looking forward to sitting on the couch and enjoying the last of the "ME time" watching the final episode of Desperate Housewives (yes, I was still into the show!)
On top of my spectacular weekend, I was showered with beautiful gifts! Flowers from my brother, new diaper bag from the rents, flowers from one set of in-laws and my very own PINK tool kit and new apron from my other set of in-laws. Luke and J gave me a book I wanted and the necklace I wanted made by Say Anything Jewelry (I will post more about that once I actually get it... it will be about three weeks before it's done)
Not the most flattering picture of myself, but it's not
that easy to take a picture with a 9 1/2 month old... so this will do
Hugs for mommy!
Trying to get a picture while at brunch... melt-down city!
He wanted more food... go figure!

My first SOLO attempt at potting... Not too bad,
but I sure could have used my dear friends Dana or Ann!

J was determined to get Daddy's phone
Still trying...
no such luck

I know I have said it multiple times, but my weekend was PERFECT! My husband and son remind me each and everyday what a lucky woman I am! They truly are the reason I am who I am today and the reason I wake up smiling each morning.
