This year it turned out that I will have a long Mothers Day celebration and I am truly enjoying it :)
We started our adventure on Friday when I had a noon appointment with the UCIS to renew my card. The experience was hands down the best in my almost 20 years here in this country. So far I got to see what Miami was like, as well as Dallas and when it comes to efficiency and polite treatment then Denver has them both beat. The boys and I were in and out in 40 minutes and we then decided to spend the rest of the Day in Denver.
Having such generous boys they of course said that since it is Mommy Day weekend I can pick were we should go but that they do LOVE the Science and Nature Museum ;) Well, how could I resist that one as I do like this Museum a lot and I am not yet sure if my 'second' choice the Art Museum would have been in big competition against the Snakes and Lizard Exhibit, the Dinosaur Exhibit, as well as Egyptian Mummies and the Tornado Alley IMAX Movie ;)
We had a lot of fun and stayed for about four hours. Then of course we had to add a big finish and head to a Restaurant we never went to before. We chose the Casa Bonita because we heard the Entertainment was true fun as in Cliff Divers, Magicians and Music. Now I also checked it out on YELP and Foursquare and the ratings for the quality of the food were bad but I guess you have to take some risks. The Entertainment, smiles and laughter from the boys was WORTH it but the food was indeed very marginal.
Saturday we got very busy at home and decided to finish two days worth of schooling, plus work some more on the Country Presentation. I loved being able to stay home all day so that was a treat on its own.
This morning I woke up to beautiful handmade Cards from Connor, Alexander, Apple, Tasha and Bella each. I am sure our four legged family members were grateful for the help they got from the boys :)
Ron came home by lunch time so that completed the day and we have been playing 'vegetables' since as in napping, watching Netflix, playing on iPads etc etc.
Tomorrow I am going to have a day of getting spoiled and getting my hair done while my three men will have a Boys Day.
We do have some JM news as in Connor being invited to go to a Juvenile Arthritis Camp in July. He was super excited about the Invitation and definitely wants to go. It will be a 5 Day overnight Camp in Estes Park Colorado. A first for all of us to see one of our boys go away overnight so I am curious how well he will do, but I am proud for him wanting to participate.
Hope you all had a great weekend and a big Hug to all my fellow Mommies out there who are just pure amazing in my eyes.
Hugs,
