Mother's Day

We had a low-key Mother's Day. We made my mom dinner on Friday night. She was tired after a long week and was glad to have someone make the dinner plans. We were disappointed not to get to celebrate with her on the actual day, but she decided Monday would be a day for a colonoscopy, so Sunday she was limited to clear liquids.

Russell and Charles took me out for Mexican food for lunch. Charles was surprisingly good considering how tired he gets after a morning in the nursery. He actually ate chips and salsa (and had the evidence on his Sunday outfit) as well as beans and a quesadilla. We were even able to make a quick stop at Sam's where his good mood continued. He did fall asleep the minute we got in the car.

That afternoon after naps for Charles and I and studying for Russell, we went to Dairy Queen for a frozen treat. We got Charles a Dilly Bar. He ate the WHOLE thing! Then we tried to take a trip to the park, but were disappointed to find everything but the swings sitting in huge puddles. We were on the swings for a little while and headed home. He was not very happy that he did not get to go down the slide. We felt guilty that we'd gotten his hopes up, but we had no idea the park was such a mess. We couldn't even tell when we drove by.
