What a great weekend! I love my 4 year old. There is something so magical and exciting to them (and me) about miscellaneous holidays!!! Lucia gave me a great Mother's Day. She served me and Grandma coffee and OJ on the new screened in porch, with crumpets. Mind you, this was after a meltdown when she spilled a little of Mom's coffee on her Hannah Montana pj's.
We got to open our presents, and I got a great Tervis tumbler for my protein smoothie shakes. I also got a "fill-your-own" recipe holder, and a hand-painted watering can (about 3 inches) filled with ground cover. Then, she promised me a pedicure and manicure (done by her) after our lunch. And, she of course picked out the color: Hot, Hooker-Pink, Nail polish (see in the pix below)! Crazy.
We went to church, had a delightful morning outside (perfect weather - low 70's and a good breeze), then went to Texas de Brazil for brunch. Thankfully, it was "Mom's eat free" day, and since kids under 12 are free too, it was a good deal! Especially because I am WAY more restricted than I've been, and I barely ate anything compared to what I used to eat there!
When we got home, Lucia let me take an hour nap (a true luxury in my house!), and then when I got up, we painted my toes... see next few pictures... And then went to the park to try out the new swings / playground equipment our neighborhood put in.
Finally, we got home, and Lu played in the front yard for a while. My parents gave me a table & chair set from the 1940's that I spent the last week or so sanding and repainting (hence the reference to Rustoleum - LOVE IT!)... This afternoon, I spent an hour re-covering the seats, and the set is completed and sitting on the porch! Lovely... I can't wait to use it all summer long! Oh - and did you know you could Rustoleum plastic?!?!? Thanks Ali for telling me that... so I also re-painted two white adirondack chairs. Two brand new chairs for the price of $5/can of paint! Rock on! I love me a good deal.
BTW - I wore my "risky" sandals today and they didn't break! Another Whoo Hooo! Happy Mother's Day everyone!
