Best Mother's Day Ever

Hoo, boy!  We've had another week of go-go-go around here.  That's cool, though, because the Hubbo family tends to thrive on a busy schedule.

The Princess had some GI issues this week, so she wasn't quite herself for a few days.  No days home from school, but plenty of loafing about and waiting to feel back to normal.

My girl and me on Thursday, about the time she decided she was feeling
almost back to normal.

Saturday was nuts.  At 7:00 in the morning, I went to the local hardware place in the next town over to pick up my annual Mother's Day gift: annuals for my garden.  I ended up with four flats of begonias, three white and one was a mix of reds and pinks.

After flower shopping, we all went for a bike ride around the neighborhood (including a stop at the playground), swimming and for a hike together.

It was much warmer than we had expected - a nice surprise.

After our family outings on Saturday, I ventured out to a local bar to
see Bear play and sing.  A few people from work were there, and
Bear and Chris did a great job.  I'm not usually a bar person
(unless there's karaoke), but I had a really nice time.

On Friday, there was this really cute gift bag on the table when I got home.
I've been wondering what's inside all weekend, and I couldn't have been
happier when I opened it this morning.  My girl made me a pillow at
school, and I absolutely love it.

Today, we all slept in a bit later than normal because we were up late last night.  After lounging around for a bit and walking the puppies, we opted for a 4-mile bike ride in one of our favorite state parks, followed by a refreshing swim.  It was in the mid-80's, and I don't think I've ever had a nicer Mother's Day with my two loves.  After our ride, we had the perfect lunch: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, veggie chips and Kool-Aid, picnic-style at the park.  It's gonna be  hard to top this Momma's Day.

This afternoon, I spent a good while planning out the placement of all 192 begonia plants in our garden areas.  We currently have 33 planters in and around the front garden area, and by August, they'll be beautiful.  Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided it would be a good idea to throw a thunderstorm our way, so I didn't get to plant them all as quickly as I wanted.  Looks like there's a break in the rain now, though...I'll see what I can get done before I lose the light. :)

Oh, and to all you mommas out there, I hope you had a wonderful day.
