Colin's Kindergarten Korner: mother's day spa

The Monday morning after Mother's day, Colin's school put on a "mother's day spa" event.

The moms were told to bring nail polish, make up, lotions and any other beauty products we'd like to use during our spa morning.

I asked Colin what colors of nail polish I should bring and

he said "Blue, Black, White and Red...for BASEBALL!"

Colin was so happy and excited to pamper me!

Well...he wasn't at first but then when his classmates start brushing hair and giving massages, he jumped on board.

He was very sweet and set the table for us and read me his cards he created in class.

"My Mom is special because she is good at blowing bubbles with me."

Now...onto the pampering!

First, Colin painted my finger nails...

Then, I got my toe nails painted...

(pink and purple in my right foot and pink and white on my left foot).

eye shadow applied...

and a massage!

When the pampering was complete, Colin read a book to me.

We had a fabulous morning spending time with our favorite boys and creating this forever-memory!

Mother's Day {2012}

My Mother's Day Weekend was OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD!

My husband, kids and family really made me feel loved and appreciated!

It started on Friday afternoon when Pete surprised me at school!

He brought me a Starbucks coffee, roses, and chocolate covered strawberries!

One of my students gave him a sticker....

Friday evening, Nana and Papa watched the kids so we could go on a date!

We went to one of our favorite places, Kenzo Sushi.

seriously...the sushi here is ah-mazing!

Friday night after dinner, Belinda, Susanna and I had a Mommy's night in.

Saturday evening, we went to the always fabulous Chuy's to have dinner with Grandma and Aunt Janeen. We bought Grandma and "grandma" charm in the shape of a heart, flowers and a cake.

the push-up was "cccooollllld!!!"

Sunday morning, the kids and Pete surprised me with 2 charms from Waxing Poetic with the kids birth stones inside.

Colin picked out and bought me a "baseball mom" charm and a "W" picture frame.

Sunday afternoon and evening was spent at Nana and Papa's house.

We had a wonderful day relaxing by the pool, and enjoying our amazing family!

Ava and Papa found a few frogs in the pool so Uncle Andrew had the BEST IDEA EVER....

Gina H.A.T.E.S. frogs...

Gina flicked the frog off of her leg and was screaming and yelling "GROSS"

Papa's famous Chicken Wings and sides!

YUMMY!!!!

We bought Nana and "Nana" charm in the shape of a heart and flowers.

Gina is such a sweet and precious sister and bought me flowers to match my "mommy colors"!

When Colin saw them he said, "Oh those are such pretty flowers, Mommy!"
