Happy Mother's Day to Me!

 I had an AMAZING Mother's Day!  Danny pampered me to no end!  I didn't deserve all of the "specialness" that I received!  To start off, he sent me chocolates and flowers.  He then made an appointment for me to get a mani/pedi at a new nail salon nearby.  Then, on a whim, we decided to travel to Osage Beach (an hour away) and get a hotel for the night (Saturday).  We ate at one of my favorite restaurants---Outback Steakhouse-- and then hit the sack.  The next morning, we ate at the hotel and then Danny took the kids to a huge indoor play place that had a ferris wheel and small roller coaster inside.  While they were there, I shopped to my heart's content!  I started at Marshall's/Homegoods because I haven't stepped foot in one of those since California.  After Pier 1, I then headed to all of the outlet malls.  Embry was a little angel and slept most of the shopping trip.  After picking up my boys in the early afternoon, we headed to a restaurant I had been recommended, On the Rise.  It was delicious!!  We finished up dinner with Sea Salt Carmel Pie.  It was simply heavenly.  We then drove home and hung outside in the beautiful weather chatting with our neighbors.  What a fantastic weekend!!!
