Mother's Day in review...

What a busy day we had! Out from 9:15am until 8pm! Busy busy!

First up was breakfast in San Mateo - a super yummy brunch where I ate waay too much. However, not as much as Carter did - can we say 5 pieces of bacon? (and a ton more!). On the way home he told me he was hungry! Yikes...

 He wanted to take a silly pic...so here we are!

 ...and a pointing pic! Carter has taken the habit of pointing when he's not sure/nervous. It's funny...although we're trying to teach him pointing isn't that polite. He doesn't really point at anything in particular, just points! LOL. On his progress report at school, he told his teacher to write "his favorite thing is >>pointing". Nuts!

 After breakfast we dropped Dad at the airport - off to Toronto for him. Then we headed down to San Carlos to meet up with our friends Leslie and Sarah. We looked around and then spent the afternoon painting pottery.

 Carter made these mugs - one for Mommy for Mother's Day, and one for Daddy (technically for Father's Day!). He did a pretty good job! He entirely painted Daddy's (with a few fill-ins from mom) and got help with the lettering and the dots. He got bored about 75% of the way through on Mommy's, so she painted her own handle and most of the inside. He got more into it when we added yellow hearts. We'll see how they turn out when they're fired! Mommy's will be pink with a blue handle and purple sparkle inside. Wow! Daddy's is going to be red with a turquoise handle and a yellow inside. We will not lose these mugs! LOL. BRIGHT!

 Leslie helping Sarah paint a bday gift for her Dad - so cute!

 ...and this is what happens when you wear out a little guy! Falls asleep in the car!

 After pottery painting we headed to Half Moon Bay. It was actually nice and sunny over there. The wind was a little cool, but still a great time! We walked around the pier and the kids had a great time!

 Took 3 pics of them, and this is the best I got - one looking down, and the other away...figures!

 After that we headed to the HMB Brewery for dinner. They have AWESOME fish and chips there. Carter thought it was pretty cool that Mom let him order a root beer AND that it came in a REAL beer container. (We actually asked for a glass to make it easier, but took this pic first)

Carter's drawing..."A Star Wars Guy" - LOL

 Carter ate 3 giant pieces of fish - I was impressed! This kid is going to devour the cupboards soon...yikes. Once he was done eating, he wanted to take some pics...

 This one cracks me up...Carter...by Carter. A self portrait! LOL

It was a pretty fun Mother's Day!

However, we got home to find out that *someone* whose name starts with "S" and ends with "teve" got ice from the freezer last night and didn't tightly close the freezer. 24hours open made for the entire freezer needing dumped - lucky there wasn't much important in it (but all my precious and $$ weight watcher ice cream bars were melted). Worst of all, I had just bought some mint ice cream for Steve's bday and we'd barely ate any...It melted allllll over the place - down into the fridge, onto the floor, and all over everything in the freezer. What a mess!
