There are some posts every now and then that I compose because I want to remember. I want to remember every little detail of every moment and this blog is a way for me to look back over the years and do just that,\u00a0so bare with my while I flood this post with pictures and memories.<\/p>\n

Ahem. Here we go.<\/p>\n

Last weekend was in my eyes, perfection. Being with my family all weekend having nonstop fun was a weekend I would like to remember forever,<\/p>\n

Saturday started off with my little girl turning five. She had been counting down the days to her special day \u00a0for a while and being her fifth, I wanted it to be special, starting off with pancakes in the shape of 5’s.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0272\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She then requested that we go outside and ride scooters while playing “sisters,” so that we did before getting ready to go on our first ever family fishing expedition. And I may not have mentioned this before, but I LOVE fishing. Not so much the part that deals with worms, but the whole excitement of the catch is right up my alley.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0289\"<\/a> \"IMG_0291\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0292\"<\/a> \"IMG_0314\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While we didn’t catch anything, playing in the water and just being outside together was pure bliss.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0319\"<\/a>\"IMG_0317\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That evening we went to Gwyn’s favorite restaurant, “The Ball Place,” aka, 5 Mile Pizza, with family and all had a great time. Arcade games and a ball pit equals happy kiddos in our fam.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0312\"<\/a> \"IMG_0313\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0311\"<\/a> \"IMG_0310\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And we finished off the night doing one of Gwyn’s favorite things; roasting marshmallows. They stayed up way past their bedtimes and just had the best day.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0282\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next day was Mother’s Day and I had no idea what the day would look like. I did know we were having breakfast at 9:30, but that was it.<\/p>\n

Allowed to sleep in, I got up at about 8:15 and thought I would leisurely shower, actually blow-dry and curl my hair and be ready in time to leave for breakfast.<\/p>\n

But no. It didn’t quite happen like that. The minute I got out of the shower I was informed that we needed to leave in 15 minutes. FIFTEEN! The kids smelled of camp-fire, weren’t dressed and I was dripping wet.<\/p>\n

Suuuuuuper….<\/p>\n

Not exactly thrilled with the situation, I went into go-mode and The Hubby threw them into the bath while I ran to get their clothes after throwing on some clothes for myself. While The Hubby then showered, I finished washing the kids and got them dressed.<\/p>\n

And while The Hubby got them out and into the car, I finished putting myself together.<\/p>\n

It was then I learned that breakfast WAS at 9:30, but in Coeur d’ Alene, which is about 45 minutes away, AND we had to make a stop beforehand.<\/p>\n

Once there, though, we enjoyed one of the BEST breakfasts we have ever had. The maple bacon! Oh, the maple bacon! I am embarrassed to admit how many pieces of that I had, so instead I will show you a quick photo I slyly snapped of just the dessert section while trying not to be the weirdo taking a photo of the dessert section. Absolute heaven.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0307\"<\/a>\"IMG_0308\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We then ventured around the dock admiring the water before wandering over to the park, which was one of the coolest parks we have ever been to.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0306\"<\/a> \"IMG_0302\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0303\"<\/a> \"IMG_0305\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And not far away at all, an amazing beach that had the kids just about over the edge. Who am I kidding, we all were! And I didn’t even care, “Get Wet!” I told them. After a couple hours of swimming, digging and sand castle building, we headed home for Cal to take a nap.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0301\"<\/a> \"IMG_0300\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0285\"<\/a> \"IMG_0298\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0297\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And this is when Miss Gwyn and I snuck out to get our nails done. This was such a special little time for us as they really did it up for Mother’s Day there.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0296\"<\/a> \"IMG_0294\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And to close out the day we did a little BBQing and family movie night on the couch. It felt so, so good.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0293\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hubby really outdid himself this year. Having a wonderful day filled with my wonderful little people was exactly how I wanted to spend the day. And to top it off, I was surprised with a gift from he and the kids.<\/p>\n

First, Gwyn and Cal presented me with this UH-MAZING card beaming ear-to-ear. It lights. It sings. It brings instant-giggles every time.<\/p>\n

\"image1\"<\/a> \"image2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t think I have ever received a card I have loved more. I could just tell that THEY picked it out and seeing how wonderful they thought it was just about made my month.<\/p>\n

I mean, it doesn’t get much more special than a Catablanca Anniversary card. \ud83d\ude42 (Side note, technically it WAS the 5th anniversary from the day I became a mother since Gwyneth was born on Mother’s Day, so truly it worked!)<\/p>\n

The Hubby then gave me his card which brought me to tears, and enclosed in the card were some pictures of food. Knowing my guy likes food, I assumed these were meal ideas I thought he was hoping I would make.<\/p>\n

\"image3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With my head tilted a little trying to figure it out, he explained that he had gotten me the gift of time.<\/p>\n

Time away from a little meal planning, grocery shopping and prepping.<\/p>\n

A few months worth of pre-planned and prepped meals from Blueapron.com<\/a> that I can go online and choose from. \u00a0I can choose how frequent they come, when they come and can put a stop to them when we leave town.<\/p>\n

I just about peed my pants.<\/p>\n

This was one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever received. So, starting next week, twice a week, meals will be delivered to our doorstep and I am SO excited! I will let you know how it goes. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
