So today was just per­fect. Hubby woke up this mor­ning and sur­pri­sed me a fabu­lous love let­ter and tic­kets to a few great plays going on at the reper­tory thea­ter down­town. This is something that I’ve wan­ted to go to for quite some time.

Then we hea­ded off to our local Farmer’s Mar­ket to stand in line for the best cra­pes around. We ate our freshly made cra­pes in the local park, pla­yed tag and just enjo­yed being together on this beau­ti­fully warm day here in California.

I was able to take a nap prior to my brother and girl­friend coming over. We ate outside in the beau­ti­ful eve­ning weather.

The day was great. Just great!

My basic desire for today was to have a day with no family stress, and I think we came pretty darn close! Thanks for such a won­der­ful day Hubby!

And then Hubby went over to my brother’s place to play video games.

Yes, you read that last sen­tence correctly. Video Games.

Hmm, let’s see… nice eve­ning. Like a really nice eve­ning with his wife, insert wag­ging eye­brows, or video games and beer.

He chose the video games and beer.

:-) Yeay for an eve­ning alone, with kids asleep. What mom can’t enjoy that??!!

On another note, I just found out that I won Alli-Fussypants’ weekly cap­tion con­test. She had up a really funny pic­ture this week! Head on over and check it out.

Then click over to her jewe­lery site to see which earrings I won. I chose the Olive Gem earrings. They are so beau­ti­ful! Thanks Alli!

And one last thing.

My mom is the most beau­ti­ful mom I know, inside and out. She would lite­rally give me the shirt off her back if I wan­ted it. Actually she has done that before! She’s also the best Non­nie that my kids could ever ask for. The rela­tionship she’s crea­ted with my kids, hus­band, and me is one in a million. I am so lucky and gra­te­ful to have her in my life.

Mom, thank you for everything. I love you.
