Happy Mother's Day!

So this week wasn't that much better between conferences, Spring Concerts, Banquets, and Nick's Field Day (which was a TOTAL SUCCESS). Better late than never...here is a sampling of the pictures from my wonderful Mother's Day Weekend.

Papa and Bebe were at the house Friday when we got home from school to surprise Jack. Video at bottom of post. That night Nick and I went to dinner at Bennihana and Jack headed to Scotty P's (big surprise-Papa and Bebe love their burgers). Jack loves for Papa to give him money to put in his "pig, pig bank".
Saturday we woke up, got dressed, and hung out a little while before heading downtown to our hotel room. Jack had fun showing Papa and Bebe his tricycle and picking all the flowers (I mean weeds) from the front yard and putting them in his basket to take on a ride.
He loved Papa's "big truck". It was a rental...I wonder when Jack is going to notice that Papa never travels in the same car to visit him. Jack had his own little rolling suitcase with a monkey attached from Papa and Bebe at Christmas and loved pushing it. Finally he figured out that it was easier to pull it behind him.
Didn't seem confused at all on why we packed up, drove not even 45 minutes, to "Papa's house with Papa's pool." The room was so nice and spacious!

We had a Central Market picnic by the pool after unloading the car.

I mean really...is this bored, lazy, or just plain precious?!?!

Then it was to the pool. Sorry about the frontal shot of me...apparently it didn't cover as much as I thought when leaning over. The weather was very overcast and kinda windy so Bebe had to wrap up but we were determined (since a day by the pool was the plan for this mini adventure) and went for it.

A bunch of pictures didn't pull up (guess that was post field day exhaustion affecting my work). After swimming we all napped, Jack had a cupcake and milk in the big king size bed (precious picture of icing on his nose...I guess just imagine it), and then we headed to dinner in the West End at Landry's. We walked around some so Jack could see the Dart train and to pick up a few things at CVS but upon hearing gun shots we decided it was time to head out. Good thing Mom needed to warm up or we would have been on the street (which was one block away) where there was a police drug by a car and his partner shot causing a wreck. There were police coming out the wood work and chaos so we jetted (luckily missing the Maverick traffic). Ice cream was craved by Nick so we drove to Innwood for gelato and Starbucks for me.

When we got back in the room Papa set up a fort for Jack with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse playing on the mini DVD player (which we used the whole time even though there we 2 really nice TVS because of the lack of adaptor chords).

I think this was Jack's highlight of the trip. He spent hours in there watching TV, coloring, reading his books, and playing with his trucks from a Target trip with Papa and Bebe on Friday.

Mother's Day Morning Breakfast "in bed" via Room Service. Not to be confused with Nick making us breakfast in the mini kitchen which he is trying to make it appear like.

I love my little man-A Mother couldn't ask for a better gift. And the breakfast was fabulous- I had french toast with bacon and a Pepsi as you can see! Jack ate every one's fruit!!

Bebe was so lucky to spend her Mother's Day with Jack. It has become a tradition for them to be here on Mother's Day even pre-Jack-always a great time. Jack was having troubles realizing that Bebe was my mom...guess it is a hard concept for a 2 year old. Happy Mother's Day Mom-Bebe!

For Mother's Day I got a Vera Bradley clutch bag that had an iPhone in it. Whoot-Whoot! Thanks boys! The drives to Louisiana are going to be fabulous with the Internet at my finger tips. Now to learn how to use it!

We had to say good-bye to Papa and Bebe and I'm not sure if it was our long nap, the mixture of junk food we ate, or the crazy people on our floor at the hotel but none of us slept great. Jack was asleep by the Interstate on the ride home which means while Nick and I napped...he did this to his room. What a mess!

It was a great Mother's Day Weekend! Thanks Papa, Bebe, Nick, and JACK!!! Love you all!!

Here is a video of Jack walking in to see Papa and Bebe at his house!

Here is a video of our little fish after he got used to being in the pool. It was cold but we had fun. Swimming lessons are a must before heading to Papa's real pool this Summer though.
