Mother’s day

My mother’s day started last Thursday at Miles’ school.  The kids planned a little social for their moms called Tea Time with Mom.  I was super excited to go!
When I arrived, Miles gave me a craft!

We grabbed some snacks: watermelon, chips and salsa, mini muffins and lemonade.
When our plates were clean, Miles piled them up and said that he was going to clean up. I noticed several other kids doing the same.  I think they were coached, but I still loved the gesture! He came back a few minutes later unable to locate the trash cans. He’s the sweetest little man!

Besides the little mom party, I had a tough week and Nate knew it. I came home to roses.  So thoughtful!  But it gets better……

As you all knew, Mother’s Day was Sunday… Miles surprised me early with balloons, chocolate, and flowers.  Nate said that Miles put a lot of thought into each of his selections. He has an eye for special balloons and made sure that his flowers had lots of color since Nate’s flower selection was only red.

My favorite part was the handmade card: the front, back and inside.

 

 

 

The surprises didn't end there!  They made a lovely breakfast: Raspberry pancakes for me and blueberry pancakes for themselves… with bacon and orange juice.

The pancakes were incredible…. the bacon needed a little help.  I offered to salvage a few strips and they were OK with that :)
  
After we cleaned everything up, we set out to enjoy the sunny, 70*F day! While I showered, Nate and Miles packed a picnic lunch and loaded the bikes on the car. They planned a day at the lake!!

We biked 2 miles or so, ate lunch and played a little football in a grassy field.  We biked 4 more miles, played frisbee on the beach, and rode 4 miles back to the car.
 

So… did my day end after a 10 mile bike ride and 4 hours at the lake? Nope!
The boys made chocolate chip cookies and washed the car. I was feeling super special and pretty tired, but Miles wanted to take me to a restaurant for dinner.  He picked hot dogs… Oh My!

So, after a family dinner at Superdawg, the surprises came to an end. We tucked Miles into bed, watched a movie and slept very well! 

Nate and Miles went above and beyond to make the day a special one. I loved every minute!

Thank you, Nathan and Miles!  You’re the best and I LOVE YOU TOO! I can’t wait to help make Father’s day an exceptional one :)
