Mothers Day Weekend

Thanks to Tim's incredibly awesome parents we were able to take a long needed break from life over Mothers Day weekend. After dropping the kiddos off at Grandma/Grandpa's house we did a little birthday shopping, had lunch and then went to the cinema to watch the new documentary,"Babies"(it was awesome, lots of nursing mamas though so buyer beware!!)
Then we headed up to our Inn in Placerville, CA.

It was so beautiful up there.

This was right outside our room


The next morning, after breakfast (best breakfast I think on the planet, very gourmet) we bought a picnic lunch and headed out for some hiking. The day was perfect, not too hot or cold. Lots of trails. (view halfway though the hike)





And best of all no whining about "how much longer?!?" We hiked for most of the afternoon. What a treat.
Tim picked wildflowers along the way and presented my mothers day bouquet to me when we stopped for lunch.



Lazy Sunday morning, NEVER EVER HAPPENS, packed up and headed back to Sacramento to finish the weekend off by celebrating mothers day with the family.
It could not have been a better weekend.

Friends....

A couple of months back the only way I could get Kali to take a nap was to say that she gets to play with Norah afterward, even if that wasn't true. (I know, I know, evil mama alert.)


At dinner time we play a game called High/Low. This is when each member of the family has a turn to share what their highs and lows were of the day.
This is Kali's, every.single.time.
"My high is I get to see Norah today."
and sometimes it's true.
