I'm really lucky in that while I don't believe in the commercialisation of days like MD, my DH goes all out with the kids to make it special for me. He took the girls shopping yesterday for "silly presents" - called this because the girls are making my good and "proper" presents at kindy and pre-primary. I usually keep him up to date throughout the year with a list of new books I would like so that is pretty much what I expect him to buy on MD, which is great. He has organised for us to go out for breakfast with friends to our fantastic local which has a kids club on Sunday mornings so we can really relax and enjoy a yummy breakfast while all the kids run backwards and forwards between us and the fun.

I have organised a present for my Mum and the girls will make her a card tomorrow or Saturday, but otherwise nothing for me to do.
