Fancy Schmancy

Well my super weekend definitely lived up to it's hype. We had such a great time seeing Iron Man 2 at midnight on Thursday night. It was so fun to spend the whole evening together. I picked up the kids from the Miller's house on Friday morning and they were exhausted. Apparently the sleepover wore them out. It was all I could do to keep them awake until we got home. Needless to say we spent Friday afternoon napping and lounging.

That night we went to a friend's graduation party. He just finished his master's degree. Congrats Justin! It was a luau since Justin is Samoan. My friend Tara made all the food and it was amazing. I was very impressed. It was at a park and the kids had a blast running laps all over the place. They also had a cotton candy machine! Davin was in heaven. Weston just kept saying he wanted the pink kind (theirs was blue) and wouldn't eat his. Weirdo.

Saturday morning Weston went to the primary activity. He loves feeling grown up and going to activities without a parent. :) He made me a Mother's Day gift, but when I went to pick him up he was playing duck duck goose and eating cookies, so I think he had a good time.

Saturday night was Ian and my big date. Before we got ready I got to open some of my Mother's Day presents. The boys had picked out 3 new pairs of earrings for me. The did a great job too. I love them all! We got all dressed up (me in a new dress and new earrings) and went to dinner at Red Lobster because I wanted shrimp. I hadn't been there in years. It was yummy. We had to speed a bit to make it downtown in time for the symphony, but we got to our seats just in time. The symphony was just wonderful! The music was so fun and different. The 2 hour concert just flew by. I had never been to Abravanel Hall before either, so it was fun to attend an event there. Here we are in front of the awesome glass sculpture in the lobby during intermission. Ian seemed to enjoy his first symphony concert too. We will have to go again one of these days.
That was kind of the kick off to my Mother's Day. Sunday I got to sleep in. Weston came and woke me up a little after 8 to tell me that breakfast was almost ready. Ian made french toast and sausage. It was delish. There was a fresh cut tulip on the table and I got the You Are Special plate. :) After breakfast I got to open my other presents. Weston made me adorable I Love You Mom presents at school. They were the best. Ian got me Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's. I sure love Audrey Hepburn.

I spent the rest of the morning snuggled up on the couch in a blanket reading until it was time to shower and get ready for choir and church. I played the piano for the primary while they sang, which was ok except that I didn't get to see Weston singing. Ian was on the stand too, so he didn't see either. Sad. I'm betting he was cute though.

For dinner we had chicken Parmesan and Caesar salad. I didn't have to do the dishes. Or help the kids brush teeth. Or changed poopy diapers. It was a lovely Mother's Day thanks to my boys (especially Ian!). I am bummed that I forgot to take a picture with my kiddos yesterday, but here's one that Weston took of Dav and me a little while ago.
Today I am putting the house back together after a crazy weekend and doing lots of laundry. I took Davin to the doctor this morning because he was coughing a lot all weekend. He now has an albuterol inhaler, some Singulair, and an appointment in a couple weeks with the ENT. Hopefully we will figure out what's going on with his ears/hearing/speech. Well, I'm off to fold laundry and think fondly about how much I enjoyed this last weekend.
