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.
