Mother's Day ~

Happy Mother's Day too all mommy's out there.
My day was relaxing and the weather was fabulous. I started the morning by playing with the boys, drinking some coffee, and then whipping up some breakfast for all to enjoy.

After breakfast there was painting to be had (I will post later about the dining room decorating, also see the April Post) -



Then it was off to start the 1st picnic of the spring and summer season -



The picnic was followed by lots of playing in the sun, laying in the sun, and watching daddy work in the sun. Then it was time for me to head inside to make this:



Now in general I don't like to make separate meals, however Duncan really wanted the dish on the right, Penne Gorgonzola with Chicken, that was on the cover of my Taste of Home magazine. Well this dish is full of heavy cream and Gorgonzola cheese, which I don't like and which would totally blow my workout success. So I whipped up the dish on the left, Chicken Parmigiana, for myself. FYI - I am a Weight Watchers fanatic, therefore my dish was made in a way to reduce the food points to as low as I could get them.
Of course my eyes were much bigger than my stomach...2/3rds of my plate went into the fridge for lunch and dinner leftovers! (also a plus for my points watching!)

And in case you were wondering...



I did find the time to whip out my mom's curtain, which I delivered to her early this afternoon for Mother's Day.

I'm looking forward to falling asleep and starting my week...why? So I can have another weekend!
