One week, seven days, 168 hours. SO. MUCH. STUFF. Seriously, I feel like we’ve had so many activities in the past week. This is the condensed, “Best Of” version.

We start with Sam’s field trip to a local farm, which happened to take place on his birthday. I think he might have thought the whole thing was for him. Fine with me. He rode a horse for the first time and fed the animals.

The Killers concert was the next day. It was great. We were in the 4th row. Yeah. Awesome. And I didn’t even feel *that* old. We returned to find out the kids had given their sitter a horrible time when it was time to go to sleep. She was quite frazzled. I suppose one night won’t really hurt anyone though - they all survived.

Sam’s Birthday party was over the weekend. It was a crazy space party where he was totally overwhelmed and had multiple meltdowns. At one point I remember him saying, “No! No more of these games!” I wish I could include more pictures but I don’t feel like I should put up those that include other people’s children on the blog. So cake shots will have to do. I rocked the Earth cake, if I do say so myself.

Mother’s Day was lovely. I planted the carrots and a few protective Marigolds. We played in the yard and recovered from the huge weekend. I also made a strawberry rhubarb crisp with rhubarb from our CSA share, which is wonderful (both the CSA and the crisp). I only got a picture before I added the “crisp” part though, because once it was baked everyone was freaking out and screaming to eat it, so there was just no time. NOTIMEFORPICTURES - WEWANTDESSERTNOWNOWNOW!

Also, Hubby got me a breadmaker for Mother’s Day which I am loving, and wonderful Kate sent me a few breadmaker cookbooks, because she’s a rock star and bakes her own now. (Thank you, Kate!)

And finally, in that last one, Sam and I are at his “Mother’s Day Tea” that his school had for us. In it, you will see my token un-showered scarf hair-do, as well as my bra strap. Enjoy.
