Setting the bar, high

So, my first Mother’s Day was pretty spectacular. When Chris asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day, I told him the only thing I really wanted was a good night's sleep. I got that and much more, with him surprising and pampering me all weekend long. A few highlights of what I “got,” just for being mama to my little guy:

• A bouquet of tulips delivered with a card from my son that I will cherish forever. “Mommy, You’re the best mommy in the whole wide world and I love you so much! Happy Mother’s Day! Love, Kostyn Orrie.” Only 11 months old and already spot-on with his grammar and spelling. It’s in the genes.

• A morning (and into the afternoon...) out alone on Saturday, treating myself to a haircut, pedicure, walk downtown, coffee and cinnamon bun, and lots of sitting on the waterfront engrossed in a book. I missed my boys, but the quiet time away was
heavenly.

• A night out (babysitter and everything!) for a fundraiser/cocktail party on Saturday night for which my husband dressed up in a coat and tie and didn’t complain once.

• Blueberry pancakes and bacon for breakfast this morning. Mmm.

• A gourmet dinner lovingly prepared by my husband.

• A cool new shirt and sandals I would never have splurged on for myself, wrapped up in the prettiest paper I’d ever seen.

• A brand-new digital camera.

• An uninterrupted night’s sleep!! Of course, Kostyn cooperated with Daddy and only woke up once for 15 minutes, but still. I didn’t have to leave my warm, soft, gorgeous bed for 7 straight hours.

• Too many hugs and kisses from Kostyn to count. It’s his latest favorite thing ... as soon as I lean toward his face, he leans into mine. So, so sweet.

What a weekend. I’d better start planning Father’s Day now.....

Robyn, if anyone deserves such star treatment, it's you. I'm so glad you had a wonderful day!

That husband and son of yours are definite keepers...

You know Chris and Lance should really spend more time together. Maybe something would rub off...
