Mother's Day and Charlie's new "do"

I had a great Mother's day! This year Wade and I decided to host a brunch at our place for everyone. It was a blast! I made some yummy french toast and quiche, and Wade made his wonderful sausage and potatoes. It was a good time, however I was soooo busy I didn't have time to take any pictures. In the evening Wade took the kids and I out to the Spagetti Factory. Katie was working so we sat in her section and the kids got so excited every time Autie KK came by. Wade got me a new IPOD so now I can run with some music. I realized that I really need music to work out or else I have no motivation. In fact on my first run this week I made it two miles!!! woo-hoo!! I also got to go on a little shopping trip. I NEVER buy anything for myself. I'm sure all you mommies can sympathize with me. But when we have extra money I want to buy stuff for the kids, for the house, for the yard, for my husband, but never for myself. Wade told me that I need to go out and shop just for ME...It was hard, but once I got going, it got a little easier. I took my little sis along since I have no style, and she helped get me some cute stuff. The best part was going to Victoria Secret. Now, this may be TMI...but I've always wanted to buy a bra there, but I always think it's WAY too expensive. Well.....I bought one super awesome push up bra and 7 pairs of underwear....and it was $100, I was in shock!! I hope it all lasts a long time because I don't know when i'll go back and do that again! The frugal side of me was about to throw up, but my girly side was excited to get some nice things. Thank you to my wonderful husband for making me get out there and buy something for myself. Oh and check out Charlie's new haircut! His hair was getting super long and I couldn't keep it fron sticking up everywhere, so I buzzed it. He screamed bloody murder the WHOLE time, but doesn't he look so much better??? :)

He's just so darn cute no matter what his hair looks like :-) Glad you had a great Mother's Day.

I've got two comments...

1. VS underwear last FOREVER! They're my favorite. I just had to buy more after my old ones (at least 3-4 yrs!) finally started to look worn.

2. That's too bad that Charlie hates a haircut, 'cause he DOES look so darn cute, especially right after! (I gave Gavin a haircut yesterday too, and lucky for me, he loves it!!)
