You are not going to believe what I did for Mother's Day! Last night, I went on a date. Not a typical Saturday night date though. Last night I went on a date with my Guys! All 4 of them! I was picked up in a limo (or limbo if your 7, 5 or 2.5 years old), treated to dinner at City Hall in Scottsdale, and taken to Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall to get an outfit. I didn't end up getting an outfit, but I did get a sweet chair massage at Brookstone! The boys LOVED the limbo ride, especially since there was a no car seat policy. They were like floppy wet fish in the back of that limbo. Every time the driver would go, they would fly to the back of the limbo. Every time he stopped, they flew to the front of the limbo. It was hilarious! They blasted the music and danced all around. The changing colorful lights were beyond exciting! They would fade from one color to the next creating ooooohs and ahhhhhs all night long. They never got tired of it!! Dinner was awesome. Case and Ledger shared a filet while Brody got the chicken. No dinner at a fancy steak house would be complete without lionnaise potatoes, sauteed broccoli, lettuce wedge salads and shoestring potato fries. Jeremy had been prepping the boys all week on manners and behavior so they did super. The best part had to have been the trips to the bathroom. Jeremy gave each boy a 5 dollar bill to put in their shirt pockets. This was to be used in the restroom as a tip for the restroom attendant (what are these people called any ways?) So first up to have to go to the bathroom is Case (no surprise there!). He walks in the restroom, does his business and heads over to the sink to wash his hands. He lathers up, rinses, flicks the water into the sink. He then proceeds to reach into his shirt front pocket and whip out that 5 dollar bill. He hands it to the attendant who quickly grabs a towel, dries my 5 year olds hands off, gives him a mint, a squirt of cologne, and sends him on his way. Well, Case comes running across the restaurant (mind you, a FANCY restaurant as we here folks call it) yelling to the brothers, "Guys they have candy in the bathroom!" Brody and Ledger hear this and of course want to go potty. Luckily our food arrived and we tell them they have to wait until after dinner. Next up to use the bathroom...Brody and Ledger, together. Jeremy takes them to the restroom where they proceed to get their hands dried off on cloth napkins (for $5.00 mind you!) They receive a mint, a squirt of cologne and off they went. They LOVED it!! If only I received $5.00 every time I dried my boys dirty little hands off...I'd be RICH!! One of my favorite moments from the night was when we first got in the limbo and Brody shuts the privacy partition between us and the driver and tells everyone to say on thing they love about Mom. Case says he loves that I'm so pretty. Jeremy says he loves that I am pretty and...well I can't tell you what else he says, but don't worry, by now the boys are discovering something new about the limbo and aren't paying attention to Jeremy. Brody says he thinks I'm really really really nice and Ledger chimes in with "I love Mom." It was perfect! I can't believe I got to go on such a fun Mother's Day date with all my Men. It was definitely a night I will never forget. These kiddos make being a Mom worth all the wrinkles they have caused me. I am so lucky that I have four of the most awesome kids ever. I love them so much and am so lucky they chose me to be their Mom. Happy Mother's Day to all you Mom's out there.
What a surprise to be picked up in a limo for a date with my Guys!!
Case was a dance maniac! He blasted the music and rocked out as we drove down the 101 freeway to Scottsdale!
Of course Ledger copies whatever Case does so he showed us a move or two!!
Here they are. Sorry ladies, they're taken...by ME!
Me and my Guys at City Hall Steak House.
