First Mother's Day!

Today was my very first Mother's Day, and it was so nice! Donnie let me sleep in while he got up with Rhett, although once I heard them playing in the living room, I had to go join the fun. :)

Rhett gave me the cutest card and Target gift card with instructions that I could spend it on him, but I shouldn't buy him any more carrots (he's not a fan).

After we spent some time lounging around, we met my brother Chris and his family over at my parents' house. Carraba's is one of my parents favorite restaurants, so Chris picked up a gift card for my mom from all of us. We hung out at the house until Rhett started to get cranky, so we headed home for nap time.

After nap time, we met Angie and Braden at Taste of Addison, which is a neat outdoor event where different Addison restaurants set up food booths, but they also have carnival rides for kids. Rhett didn't get the world's greatest nap today, but we figured he would cheer up. Boy, were we wrong!

To begin with, I got sunblock in his eyes and he screamed bloody murder for like 5 minutes (we stopped at Central Market on the way to the event and apparently, their high end baby sunscreen is NOT tear-free like Coppertone Water Babies). Once I used a water bottle to get rid of some of the sunscreen in his eyes, he calmed down and we were able to walk around the event. It was only 80 degrees but the humidity was stifling!

Donnie found corndogs, and I sampled some pizza from Pastazio's, which I used to love getting when I worked in the area. Everything was going good until it started to get hotter and Rhett's sweat caused more sunscreen to get into his eyes. I took him back to the car so we could sit in the A/C while Donnie, Braden, and Angie used up the rest of their tickets.

Here's a picture of our happy boy. Note the wet shirt that has sunscreen all over it from where I had to pour water on his face. He loved Taste of Addison.

Here's a picture of Donnie and Braden before their first ride. I wish I had taken an "after" picture because Donnie looked pretty green.

So, Taste of Addison wasn't great, but Rhett was in an awesome mood once we got home and that was the best Mother's Day present ever. He had a fun bath and laughed until we put him to bed. Happy Mother's Day to all those mommies out there!
