My boys let me sleep in until 9am... then came in with their pressies. I cooked pancakes for breakfast, then we all played Lego until about 11am when I had a shower. We went across the road and got some lunch, and are now going to bake a cake for Nanny. We're off to my folks' for dinner.
My Mum took my boys shopping yesterday (I'm a single parent, and hell would freeze over before XH bought me a Mother's Day gift!) which was lovely of her. DS2 gave me a gorgeous dip set, DS1 gave me a lovely muffin tin. From the Mother's Day stall at school DS1 bought me a set of coasters, and DS2 bought me a nail clipper set. (I gave them the $5 each though lol!)
Well, we accidentally arranged a Girls Night Out last night in Melbourne, despite the fact that three of the four of us are mothers so one of us should have been a bit more clued-up. So I stayed at my friend's last night because it was arranged well in advance and it's too hard to rearrange. After waking up at 6.40am, I had a very glamorous start to Mothers Day stuffing my face on my own at Maccas in Watergardens, then spending an hour waiting in cold, rainy weather for a train home to Woodend.
Very nice to finally be home. DD1 hasn't stopped saying "happy mothers day mummy". DP has gone to work so we're going to watch Mary Poppins after dinner and have our "special chocolate drink" with marshymellows. I'm pulling out all the stops for dinner and cooking cheese on toast
Today was nice. It had it's moments of sadness but overall it was nice.
I woke at about 8 with the kids wishing me "Happy Mother's Day" I got some beautiful magnets from DD and a beautiful frame from DS (from the mothers day stall), I also got a beautiful book made by DD and a gorgeous portrait made by DS (these are my favourite gifts!). I also got a lovely new handbag and purse from DH (but that was given to me a few weeks ago early ).
DH made me Chocolate French Toast (A french toast sandwich with melted chocolate inside... *drool*), as per my request last night, I had a lovely coffee. Then we met Lulu's mum for lunch (we had two of Lu's babies with us, she had one with her) and then we took Lu's babies to the Pier so they could say happy mother's day themselves, they sent some flowers out by sea. Home now, my babies are having PB sangers and Lu's babies are on their way home with DH. The oldest girl has gone to wish her beau's MIL happy mother's day and that's pretty much it.
I know I am truly blessed to have my babies, and I am truly blessed to be there for them. I would do anything I could to be able to bring Lucy back for her babies and her family.
I slept the afternoon away on the couch and DH bought fish n chips for tea. DD2 gave me some beautiful pink stuff from the mothers day stall and the older 2 gave me a framed photo of my Nanna
