We hit up Target for some birthday party stuff then went to Kids Towne (awesome outdoor park with castles and boat) where the kids played like crazy. Jon and I used to sweat chasing the boys around Kids Towne but this time they were old enough to do everything themselves while Jon and I sat and chatted. But that wasn't my favorite part of Mother's Day.
Instead of the boys picking flowers for me, they picked strawberries for (and with) me.
I had been dreaming of strawberry picking this year with the boys but since the strawberry fields have opened, we haven't had a chance to go. With the weather a perfect 80 degrees and sunny, I chose this as the way I wanted to spend Mother's Day. And it was everything I dreamed.
Yet it was not my favorite part of Mother's Day. After the boys went to bed, we had steaks and wine and watched the latest Charlie Kaufman movie... still not my favorite part of this very perfect day (did I also mention I slept in?). My favorite part was something completely free, completely surprising, and completely awesome. My favorite part of Mother's Day was this little gem from day care:
Blessed, blessed, blessed, I am so blessed. I hope you all had a Mother's Day like mine.

What a wonderful Mother's Day! Mine was great too and I'm enjoying a nice glass of wine to wrap up the day. All the best to you and your family.
The sweetness is overwhelming. Sounds like a magnificent day.
Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day! I love the picture where they are both holding up a strawberry! So cute!
Awesome day all around! Wishing you i-phone love btw... Bill totally loaded mine up with goodies before I left and then told me where he had hidden stuff once I got to SC on Friday. Love my techno hubby!
Happy mom's day to a super cool mom!
And, by the way...
WOOO iPhone! :-)
Hi Laura, great to meet you (saw you at Cheryl's). You had such a great day and your boys are gorg. I have 19 month old fraternal twin boys.
Wow, an iPhone is great, but OMG the boys are just so adorable. I'm glad you had such a wonderful day.
If you say it on a Mommy Blog, it's taken in context! Go ahead, say it. Your happiest when your arms are full of boys.
(It will only turn weird when your boys are grown up. It will be hard to say "when my arms are full of men" in any context.)
I'm glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day. We had a dreary day weather wise, but it was nice to spend time with the family. (BTW, my blog has a new location. I'm now at "Buried in Laundry" http://buriedinlaundry.blogspot.com Hope you'll stop by)
Sounds awesome! The song brought tears to my eyes! They are adorable and you are right you are blessed to have those boys and such a great husband. :)
Oh my god! The video! So awesome! The weather looks beautiful. And it sounds like everyone celebrated YOU- how perfect!! Glad you enjoyed the day!!
You are one lucky woman. You are also very fortunate to be cognizant of what you have. Enjoy!
Great video! I'm so impressed with the remembering of words! And singing on command! What cuties.
