Happy Mother's Day To ME

It's a bizarre thing to switch to celebrating mothers day for myself after it being about other people for 25 years, but it was fun! It would have been fun no matter what we did - Sundays are always fun with William. But Austin, William and my mom made it extra special :)

William woke up at 6 like usual, but he wasn't really interested in having his normal play time like he normally does. After he drank his bottle he wanted to lay right on my chest and fall back asleep. No complaints here! We napped until about 8:30 when my phone rang. Then the 3 of us lounged around all morning until Austin got up the motivation to go to the grocery store to grab a few things. When he got home he made me a scrumptious breakfast: pigs in a blanket with grits. YUM! We made a huge mess of the kitchen because while he was making breakfast he was also making the marinades for our mother's day dinner and I was making my mom's mother's day Strawberry Tres Leches Trifle. After breakfast/lunch William and I were off to the airport to get my mom!

She was SO excited to see William, though I appreciated that she acknowledged me this time :) After we stopped by the house to drop off her bags and feed William we were off to the outlet mall. I needed to exchange something for William at Carters and my mom thought it'd be fun to go shopping for work clothes for me. I figured out the reason it was fun for her was because she was spending MY money rather than shopping for herself spending HER money :) She's the worst about buying clothes for herself, but she was trying to convince me to buy everything I tried on, but I snuck away with only spending $100. Plus she bought me a skirt for mothers day :) Now I just need this Colorado weather to figure out that it is in fact SPRINGTIME so I can wear my new clothes.

After shopping we went back home where Austin was already slaving away on our surf-n-turf dinner. Hold the surf for me, thanks ;) He grilled steaks and shrimp and made a grilled salad. Sounds weird, I know, but its something I saw on the food network and wanted to try. It was awesome! Poor Austin was sick all day (still is, he's at home sleeping) but he stayed up and out of bed all day to make sure me and my mom had happy tummies for mother's day :)

William and Austin gave me some new cricut toys for my first mother's day so now that I'm done making his baptism pages I can move on to making other scrapbook pages :) I also got lots of sweet texts, a card from Kaila, and a nice card with some pj's from Candace and Herb. What a spoiled mommy I am.

Hope everyone had a happy mothers day...whether you're a mommy, spent time with your mommy, or just spent the day by yourself. Here's to this week going as fast as last week did so I can be back at home with my baby and hubby on the weekend. The best time of the week :)
