Mother of all

Today was Mother's Day, and I think I've had one of my best yet. There was a lot of fun with my guys, and fun with family, and I got to relax too, so I couldn't ask for any more. Except that I have one of those "loose" taste buds on the end of my tongue today, and it's driving me crazy. Other than that though, it was a pretty great day.

I got treated to breakfast in bed, and lots of time to lay around with Mike and Ev. That's really my favorite time of every weekend--just the three of us, snuggling and wresting and joking around in our bed. I like the easy pace and the time to just be a family. After that we headed up to Erie for lunch with Mike's family. We ate a lot and the boys played together, so it was a nice time.

Late in the afternoon someone decided we should take the kids to Waldameer, which turned out to be tons of fun. We did have about 15 minutes of showers (during which the boys rode the Merry-Go-Round twice), but other than that it was just great. It was nice because there were no crowds at all, and we really had the run of the park. I'm excited to take Evan back later in the summer, because he was anxious to ride everything and had a really wonderful time.

After that we headed over to visit my mom, and that was a nice end to the day. We got to kick back a little (and Ev got to hit a few baseballs in the yard), so everyone was happy. It was just the kind of day I would have wanted, and now I feel ready to face the busy week ahead. Sometimes it's good to get extra special treatment, and Mike and Evan didn't disappoint me. I feel very lucky to have such a wonderful family.

I want to write more, but I'm tired and bed seems more important right now. I'll try again tomorrow, when I'm likely to make more sense.
