Happy Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful weekend and very special Mother's Day even if I do not have a lot of pictures to post from it. John completely surprised me with an overnight trip downtown at a very nice hotel in St. Paul. We had an amazing dinner with conversation and time to eat and left without having to clean up anything off the floor. The next morning was probably the most beautiful day we have had in Minnesota all year. The temperature was warm and the sun was shining and we went for a nice long run on one of my favorite streets with all the trees and flowers blooming in front of some gorgeous old homes. We had breakfast and coffee followed by a matinee and then headed home to the boys. It was quite relaxing and a very nice break from our craziness at home. Thank you to John for planning such a wonderful weekend. As most people know, I really do not like surprises; however, this one turned out to be very special and one that I will not forget. Thank you also to our wonderful babysitter for entertaining (and wearing out) our three boys at home. The chalk covered driveway might never be the same.

Happy Mother's Day to my mom, mother in law, sister, grandmother, aunt, sisters in laws, and of course all of our special twin friends. "That's A LOT of Mommies", as Luke pointed out today when we talked about who would be celebrating Mother's Day. The boys woke up singing "Happy Birthday" in their beds so we knew that they remembered today was a special day, but not exactly sure they understood the difference between my birthday and mother's day.
