Mother's Day

Mother's Day we enjoyed a nice breakfast on the patio.   After we were planning to hit the beach, but the wind was blowing hard.  Being OVER wind we decided that having sand blown in our face all day didn't sound too fun.  Finn is so stressed out by wind that it is funny and sad all at the same time. It really gets on his nerves.  He was shouting "I hate you wind. Go away wind." as he walked down the beach.   

 I wanted a good picture of the two of us for Mother's day so here it is...

 er...how about this one...

 just look at the camera...

 Okay maybe next year.   We opted to spend the day at the pool. I cannot complain about plan b.  It was warm enough that I didn't wear a denim jacket...

 Finn loves to swim.  He had on his life vest and floated around for hours.  He didn't want to stop.   He worked up an appetite.  Normally one bite and he is done.  There is something awesome about sitting around the pool eating and having things "billed to the room" until the end when you realize they were referring to your room.

We headed out for an early dinner.   We passed The Hotel California. (Insert any song cliche here)...

We ate at a really cool authentic Italian place called Bruno's.  The food was very good and the potions were out of control...

The child did not know where he was.  He was so tired he was verging on delusional.  I don't think I have ever seen him so tired.   This picture was taken at around 4 o clock and he was almost out.   He crashed as soon as we were done eating.

Tosh got me a spa treatment (more on that later) and Finn got me a purse. He really wanted me to get a Finn sized skate board.  I had seen this bag the day before in a surf shop.   When we went in and dad told Finn to buy it for me, Finn turned around and suggested the skate board. He said I could get the purse for my birthday.  The guy working at the store thought this exchange was hilarious.

I had a great day.  Being a mom is wonderful. It can also be so hard. It is nice to feel appreciated.   Finn told me his favorite day was "Mother's Day because you get to get to give your mom something."  Before he fell asleep he told me he had been so nice to me because it was Mother's day, but that tomorrow wasn't. Ha! Luckily on "not Mother's day Monday" he was nice, too.
