It is Mother’s Day in the States today.
It feels odd to be celebrating it on a different day than all my friends back home did.
In March, hubby and the kids bought me flowers to celebrate the UK Mother’s Day, which was lovely.
So, I feel very lucky to have been allowed to mark two Mother’s Days this year!
This morning I was woken by two very excited boys who wanted to give me the presents and cards that they had made me :)
Hubby had bought some modelling clay (the bake in the oven stuff) and the boys had spent ages making me a present. The 6yo made ‘me’… The 4yo made me a heart and a flower, all covered with sparkly hearts :) Hubby bought me wine!
The boys had both made me cards at school and preschool. And the 4yo made me a rainbow out of Lego!
According to the 6yo’s Mother’s Day ‘book’ I look just like him, I weigh 2lbs (!), I am very good at babysitting, he would buy me gold if he could and he would not swap me, not even for every Skylander :)
Instead of flowers, my wonderful husband made a donation to The Lullaby Trust in my name, in memory of Matilda Mae. This was so much better than flowers, and I was really touched that he had realised how much this would mean to me.
In the afternoon we went for a lovely walk – taking in a tower, pond, woods and some interesting wildlife! We saw a snake and a turtle/terrapin (I’m going to have to google to check!)… I then had an hour to myself with tea and cake!
Perfect.
Happy Mothers Day! Homemade presents are always so lovely to receive aren’t they?
Absolutely! And they’d spent ages making them – they were so excited to show me! It was lovely :)
