I felt incredibly spoiled for the whole Mother's Day weekend. Unbeknownst to me, Scott and Eli had planned to start celebrating on Saturday evening at The Spring Fling at Scott's (soon to be Eli's) school. We attended Spring Fling last year and had a ball, this year, like last year, had the kids playing on jumpees as well as the playground.
This year, though, Scott's class and Eli surprised all the moms (including me) by singing the Imagination Mover's "The Mother in You" to us. It was incredibly sweet to see my little boy singing to me. He was so brave to stand up in front of all those big kids and parents.
I was so touched by Eli singing to me and I thought that was the end of the surprises, but that just kicked off my weekend. When Eli woke up on the morning of Mother's Day he went to the computer, and all by himself, he typed up and printed a message to me. He put the message with a picture he'd painted me outside the door so that it would be the first thing I saw when I woke up.
Elijah really made up his mind to try and spoil me all day long. After I finally got up and gushed over his gifts, we did a puzzle together. He let me put in all the "fun" pieces and even let me put in the final piece. Now that's love. :) After puzzling and getting ready we all headed to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.
After breakfast, Scott asked me what I wanted to do. I wanted to drive to one of my favorite spots -- FDR State Park. And, even though we'd had a busy previous weekend with Eli's birthday party, The Spring Fling the previous night and we were planning on Keira's party for the following weekend, Scott obliged. Taking a day trip was probably the last thing in the world that Scott wanted to do, he did it anyway. Now that's love. :) Both kids took a nap in the car on the way to Warm Springs.
Once we arrived at the State Park we poked around, played at the playground, enjoyed our beautiful tranquil surroundings and threw rocks in the water.
What an amazing weekend!
