On Saturday morning, my mom and I went out to breakfast together. She brought me these amazing potted flowers as my gift - which looks absolutely beautiful on our deck! It already has me inspired to work on my green thumb and to get more pots and planters for our outdoor spaces.
While I was at breakfast, the boys went shopping. And Greg dressed Ben like this:
We then headed over to Rachel and Peter's house to drop Ben off for a few hours. They had agreed to babysit so that Greg and I could go see The Great Gatsby (which was an amazing movie with an amazing soundtrack - download it!). Greg and I snuck out while Ben was playing in their back yard, and weren't sure how that was going to go down, but apparently it went great! I later saw this picture, and received a text saying that we should head back to their house and crack open a bottle of wine - because Ben was still having fun playing at the beach....!
So, we did :) When they got back, I snagged a few more pictures from Rachel's phone so I could share their adventures here:
That evening we headed back to our place (with Rachel) and Greg made the flank steak chilaquiles for dinner - and they were pretty delicious.
On Sunday morning, I woke up to breakfast in bed - banana and nutella french toast! It wasn't quite "breakfast in bed" though, because as soon as Ben saw that I was awake, he climbed up on the bed and wanted to sit on top of me - which didn't quite work well with a plate of food. :)
After opening my gifts - perfume, truffles, and a couple fun bracelets - we headed to the zoo to spend a few hours!
Ben was more interested in this water fountain than he was any of the animals ;)
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! I am so happy that I get to be Ben's mom :)
Ha, love that he loved the water fountain more than the animals. :) Happy belated Mother's Day!
