My Mothers Day Lunch to Remember

Since Mother's Day is never an easy time for me, Dean wanted to try really hard to make it something special for me this year.

He started out by purchasing a laptop for me for my gift from him and the kids.  Something I would hold dear to my heart so I could start writing again...

Then this morning he woke me up early and informed me we were going away for the day. 

We went shopping in Madison.  Something we have learned to enjoy doing.  After going to Half Price Books (which has become one of my favorite places to go) and a trip to the hobby shop (one of Dean's favorite places to go) he tells Jacob and Kyle, "We are going to take Mama someplace nice for lunch today to celebrate Mothers Day."

Kyle and Jacob immediately start throwing out suggestions...

Dean says, "No, no, no... I thought we would take her someplace nice."

Kyle chimes in, "Oh! You mean like the food court!!"

We all had a great laugh.  It was the cutest thing he could possibly say at that moment.  I guess to him, the food court was pretty amazing!!

I was supposed to pick the place.  Something I really suck at because I can never decide what I want and, as a mom, I do always have the boys tastes in mind.  Especially Kyle - after all, he tends to only eat chicken.

Dean spots a place that he had heard had great food.  He had never been there before, but we decided we would check it out.  It was a pub/eatery.  I suppose similar to that of an Apple B's or something?  We don't know what to expect but it looks good and not that busy.

Dean drops the boys and I off at the door and he goes to park the car.  When he walks in, he checks us in and turns back at me with this smile.  I can't explain it, but usually when he smiles with his dimples, something is brewing... I hadn't walked in the door yet, but when I did, I saw why the dimples were there...

The waitresses were dressed... well, you have to go to the link to check it out...

Now, my boys IMMEDIATELY started to smile.  Poor little Jacob climbed up in the booth and started to put his head down - not sure what to think.

Deans says to him, "Don't worry Jacob, soon enough you will grow up and you won't be able to take your eyes off of them."

Let's just say about 20 minutes later, Jacob looks at me and smiles and says, "Guess I am growing up already!"

I know, maybe I should have been offended, but it really was done in taste and the food was SO GOOD!! Jacob had a cheeseburger and said it was the best! 

I had a great lunch - with my boys and something tells me it is a memory that none of us, especially them, will never forget!!
