mother's day

i love:

• waking up with a 4 year old snuggled next to me asking 'mama, are monsters really a-tink? (good job i know 'extinct' in his language)
• Sam bringing really good coffee and really good hugs and really good homemade scones to me in bed
• a huge bag of goodies from jo malone and tied up in black grosgain ribbon
• perfect homemade cards with smily faces made from hearts and a drawing of Cape Cod inside
• lottery cards - the first ones i ever scratched (the special mice ones are left for later...)
• super blueberry pancakes with devonshire cream at norma's. and a bite of rice crispy french toast with warm caramel. they're right... mom can't make that stuff :( in other news though, i saw the tall man from 'welcome to the parker'! annnd... what was really weird (and slightly disturbing) was he gave me a second look like he recognized ME from watching HIM on tv... and i used to watch it half naked while working out in the privacy of my bedroom :)
• garden shopping for veggies and flowers
• the entire family singing high hopes with frank sinatra on the ride home (the little video is adorable and i HATE kids' singing!)
• watching 'real housewives' in bed (all the while loving hating kelly the owl woman)
• Simon's adorably goofy fashion sense
• yellow tulips in a blue glass bowl
• a big bar of cadbury's dairy milk just for me!
• the boys' swimming all afternoon (=early bedtime:)
• time to relax and process pics.... ahhhh!
