Mother's Day Weekend

Justin was on vacation last week to work on the attic project.  At the end of the week, we took off for a weekend getaway to enjoy as a family.  Kale talked about swimming at the hotel for days before we left.  This was by far, his highlight.

 On the way to the pool each time, he was way ahead of us in the hallway..

 He had fun splashing Papa and jumping into the arms of Papa while Mama also jumped in, splashing them both, time and time and time again.

 I think he's excited for swim lessons to begin next month!

 Another of his highlights in our hotel room was "making coffee" with the little coffee pot.  He had several cups a day :)

 Upon reaching home, Kale was pretty pooped.  He loved getting to sleep in the same room as Mama and Papa and the 2nd night was talking for about an hour, in the dark, before he finally settled down.  I'd say our boy likes hotels.

 He quickly snapped out of his tiredness when Papa turned on the TV and "The Voice" was on with all of its guitars and microphones.

It was a nice Mother's Day weekend, all in all.  I was able to sneak away to a few stores while Kale napped with Justin.  We got to have some really good food, and of course the pool was a blast with our little boy.  Though I certainly don't feel I earn all the pomp and circumstance of "Mother's Day" as so many days I fall short of being anything but a great mom, it was a good reminder to be the best mom I can be every day of the year.
