1. Sleeping in
2. Dave's intention to make my favorite sweet-potato pecan pancakes (I got up too late to take advantage, but found pecans toasting in the iron skillet and sweet potatoes in the microwave!)
3. Chocolate brioche and delicious decaf from Colson Patisserie, instead
4. Dad-posse at swim class. (Top, from left: Sylvie and Brian, Dave and Clio, Peter and Zoe, Jay and Dylan; Bottom, Dylan and Clio practice jumping in.)
5. Almost buying the mid-century sideboard I've been eyeing at a local antique store (One sad thing about Mother's day: what an unhelpful a-hole the store's owner was, leading to us not actually getting to buy the thing. Sigh.)
6. New-Orleans style brunch at Stan's: po boys, huevos rancheros, and biscuits with sausage gravy (not even in the same realm as Grandma Barb's, but still good). Here's a picture we took of Clio to show her pictures of Clio as a distraction when we realized that the camera was the only "toy" we had on us
7. Limonciata
8. Watching Dave show Clio how to make those little winged seed-pods that litter the ground this time of year "fly." He's a Dad who knows some cool things.
9. A 2-hour nap on the couch (the back support is so much better than bed!)
10. Hearing my own mom's voice, calling from the Atlanta airport on their way home from Ireland, and hearing Clio say "I want to talk to Nonny!"
11. Actually sitting around and playing with my daughter for a couple of hours- blocks, trains, throwing balls, jumping around, listening to They Might Be Giants Here Come the ABCs (while Dave made tortilla soup AND did the dishes)
12. Having more than 10 things to be happy about on Mother's Day (and only half or so relating to food!)
