Best Mother's Day ever...

Do you remember the age when you got excited about "giving presents"?  Zoe is at that age... and let me tell you... she went all out for Mother's Day.  And it took everything in me not to be a total dork in her eyes and bawl like a baby.  A week ago we were at a neighborhood garage sale (gotta love "springtime" garage sales)... and I was instructed to go to the car and "wait" for her.  I told her not to waste her "birthday" money there... but she insisted.  After about 15 minutes... Zoe got back in the car... with a bag... I rolled my eyes a bit... annoyed... but I let it go.

Then... this past Saturday night... at 11:00 p.m... she was skittering about the house... There was cutting and taping and rustling.. and very large messes were being made in different rooms... "ZOE... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?... IT'S 11:00 O'CLOCK... GO TO BED!!!" 

Well... the child that is never up until after 10:00 a.m. on the weekends was bounding out of bed at 7:45 a.m. yesterday morning.  "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY" she yelled... bag and card in hand... the look on her face... well... that is where it took everything just to keep it together.  She was so excited...

Well, the things that were bought "with her own money" at the garage sale are now things that I will cherish for a lifetime...  and the excitement on her face... I will never forget it.

   

Other gifts... my beautiful jill e camera bag... I LOVE THIS BAG!!!

And a much needed new pair of running shoes...

We have a tradition on Mother's Day... every year we go to the Village Inn (instead of a formal brunch)... and then we head over to Creques' to purchase flowers for the summer.  But as you can see... the WEATHER SUCKED BIG TIME... so, we came home... and I tortured everyone with "27 Dresses"...

It was one of the longest days I've had... I guess because all I did was sit, eat and do nothing. 

IT WAS A LOVELY, LOVELY DAY!!! 

I hope all of my moms... especially my "first time moms".. had a wonderful Mother's Day!!!
