Well. This has been a pretty spectacular day ( a pretty spectacular weekend, come to think of it) for mom but we'll get to that in a minute.
We had a pretty lowed keyed week- no softball games this week and only one practice. Mom did have snack bar duty Tuesday night from 6-8 but that wasn't too bad. And it saved us $200.00. At the beginning of the season, we have to write the league a check for $200.00 and if we don't do a shift of snack bar duty, the check gets cashed. Tough stuff! Mom kind of likes doing that sort of stuff and she got to meet some other moms so it was all good.
We made it through the week and mom had a girl's night out scheduled so Dad and I headed out with Uncle Brian and his kids for dinner and a little shopping. Mom had a great time catching up with friends and I know the dad's had an equally fun night with the kids!
Everyone had a kind of late night and unfortunately, we had to get up bright and early to get to my 9AM softball game. We did all right- lost by 1 run. No hits for me because that's because the pitchers were not good. It's really hard to hit home runs with the ball rolling across the plate.
Mom and I spent the day relaxing on the couch while dad was busy with Mother's day prep. He surprised mom with a chaise lounge for poolside! This has been missing from our backyard for forever and now mom can "watch" (read: take a nap) while I'm swimming. Saaaweeet!
We all went to be early Saturday and slept in Sunday. Mom went out for a run and while she was gone, dad and I were little house elves. She came home to find the beds made, the kitchen cleaned up, the laundry done and floors vacuumed. It was pretty spectacular. We even managed to have breakfast waiting for her. I convinced dad that mom REALLY wanted doughnuts for breakfast and it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I have been wanting doughnuts for the past several weeks. I was pretty positive that she would want a croissant doughnut too so that is what we got her. And since we were there, I decided we shouldn't wast the trip and got me a doughnut too. And it was good. And mom loved it because she can never break down and buy them for herself.
We then headed out to see Grandma Sue for a little bit and then up to the fancy mall for some shopping. After that outing, we left mom to her lounger while dad and I went to Toys R Us to look for some new Skylanders. We came home to find her snoring away in her lounge chair with book on her chest and drool on her chin. Told you it was a fabulous day!
It was a super great day all around and we hope everyone had a great day as well!
