Anniversary Dinner and Mothers Day!

Our weekend started out not so great.....Thursday Emma girl came down with a nasty stomach bug and did alot of this :0( You know she isn't feeling to hot when a little girl that normally needs a dark quiet room with her sound machine on to fall asleep.....falls asleep in the bright living room with Alivia playing and the T.V on!

 

We were going to celebrate our anniversary on Friday but decided to wait to see if Emma would get better and go on Saturday. And she was 100% better by then :0)

This is the sweet card that the girls made for us for our Anniversary...... So sweet !

Adam and I forgot to have someone take our picture before we left for Boston...so the nice lady at Mikes Pastry's offered :0) For dinner we went to Lucia's...It was OK not great!  We both got Chicken Parmigiana ...because Adam likes to copy me ! Haaa JK Adam!We still really love Fiore's and want to try Giacomo's  next time....there is always a line formed out the door there...so you know it must be good!

After dinner we went to Mikes Pastry's and loaded up on yummy cannolis, lobster tails and carrot cake! They seriously have the BEST cannolis! When we were walking around the North End  we thought about how much the kids would love to come here.....So next time we are thinking Pizzeria Regina and Mikes with the kids.  Then I got to thinking ....... Its crazy how you look forward to a night out away from the kids....but you always end up missing them and talking about them! I couldn't wait to pick them up!

Mothers Day was very laid back. Adam let me sleep in, then we went and visited our Moms. We came home and played in the yard. That was our day in a nutshell :0) It was nice to just hang out!

Here is my mothers day plant that I am determined not kill this summer. 

On Mothers Day I also finally managed to hang this in between the girls bedrooms....finally! I had that picture put on a canvas to remind them that they really will be best friends forever....Of course all 3 will be best friends but Kaylah and Alivia just cant seem to get along lately. I hope that changes soon!

Happy Mothers Day

Before I was a Mom…

I made and ate hot meals.

I had unstained clothing.

I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a Mom…

I slept as late as I wanted.

And never worried about how late I got

into bed.

I brushed my hair and my teeth every day.

Before I was a Mom…

I cleaned my house each day.

I never tripped over toys or forgot words

to lullabies.

Before I was a Mom…

I didn’t worry whether or not my plants

were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was Mom…

I had never been puked on,

Pooped on,

Spat on,

Chewed on,

Peed on,

Or pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mom…

I had complete control of my mind,

My thoughts.

My body,

And my time.

I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom…

I never held down a screaming child,

So that doctors could do tests,

Or give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and

cried.

I never got gloriously happy over

a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours

at  night

 Watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom…

I never held a sleeping baby just because.

I didn’t want to put it down.

I never felt my heart break into a million

pieces.

When I couldn’t stop the hurt.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom

Before I was a Mom…

I didn’t know the feeling of having my

heart outside my body.

I didn’t know how special it could feel to

 feed a hungry baby.

I didn’t know that bond between a mother

and her child.

I didn’t know that something so small
Could make me feel so important

Before I was a Mom…

I had never risen in the middle of the night .

Every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

I had never known the warmth,

The joy,

The love,

The heartache,

The wonderment,

Or the satisfaction of being a

Mom.

I didn’t know I was capable

of  feeling so

Much before I was a Mom!
