ain't it sweet?

I like to be surprised. Contrary to what I might say at times - a little surprise here and there is definitely the way to my heart. I don't need much, nor do I need it frequently - just a little reminder that "hey, I was thinking about you" or whatever said thought process is. I was beyond spoiled this mothers day and regardless of my disdain towards the hallmark day aspect of it, I really had a great day. I got to sleep in, with breakfast in bed - and then Tim took the girls for over an hour, only to show up back at home with a beautiful bouquet of tulips and a brand new digital camera!! I really try to fight against the consumerism side of "holidays" like mothers day - but there is no way I could even pretend not to be ecstatic about this surprise! We had such a relaxed day, and then had a delicious meal at my dad's house made by my sister. To top it all off my sister, brother & lou came to babysit so Tim & I could go for a sauna. I'm still revelling in that wonderful day - it's amazing what a little R&R can do for the soul.
