Mother's Day (a day late for a reason)

So I had to share how wonderful and thoughtful my husband is. I love my husband so much and sometimes he just goes well beyond what I could have ever thought of.

Sunday morning he did the usual event of getting the kiddos up early to prepare everything so it's all laid out when I get up in the morning. They usually have the coffee table set up with all kinds of creatively hand made cards from the kids and gifts from John. They always try to make me feel so special and loved. This morning was not different from any other Mother's day..... until we left church!! On our way home he didn't say a thing about what we would be doing next. Next thing I knew we were at our friend's house and Emma is skipping out of the car "yahoo we get to spend the night at Audrey's house"

"WHAT????? They're spending the night???? What is going on????" John then informs me that we are going to Eagle Crest for the night and the kids are staying at the Murray's (well except the baby but she doesn't really count, she doesn't do much except be adorably cute). So we head home to pack up the stuff (with my jaw on the floor) and low and behold, everything is already packed.....all the way down to the clothes I would be wearing the next day (which he did a very good job doing). The bags were packed, the dog was taken care of and the kids were going to have fun with the Murray's.

We left at around noon on Sunday and didn't return until about 4pm Monday. Husband points were earned this weekend. The added bonus in all this is that it was a Sunday night so John has one less day at work this week, yahoo!!! I told him he has a new standard to live up to every year now. What's next year, a trip to Hawaii??? We'd have to win the lottery that we don't play to do that one.
