It was Mother’s Day in the US today, and I have had a wonderful, magic day thanks to these three terrors.
They gave me lovely presents and home made cards; they made me smile and gave me hugs. I ran our town’s 3.5 mile Mother’s Day race in the morning and they cheered me on. We went out for a late lunch at one of my favourite restaurants, Wagamama, and they behaved impeccably, ate well and loved the food (and chose noodles and ramen over breaded chicken!).
We went for a lovely stroll in the glorious sunshine (yes, it was hot today!) and I managed to get a photo of them holding hands, the boys looking after their little sister. It’s not a great photo, the sun was in their eyes, but they are together and smiling and I love it.
And my long suffering husband allowed me to take a selfie of us. This is his ‘a selfie, really, you mad woman’ face!
A lovely, lovely day.
Brilliantly well done for doing the race! Wow! Sounds and looks like a special day! (We spent the day on walks …not running…. )
It was a lovely day, relaxed and fun x
Sounds like a perfect Mother’s Day hon! Love the pics of the kids all eating so well! Feels good when it all comes together doesn’t it :) xx #MagicMoments
It really is, and the kids enjoying the meal as much as me was the icing on the cake :)
It sounds like such a perfect, relaxed family day. Love that pic of them holding hands, and your selfie is gorgeous x
Thank you Jocelyn, it really was a lovely day x
Happy Mother’s Day! Sounds like a great day and well done on completing the run.

Awww, that first photo is so precious and your special ‘Mom’s day sounds wonderful from beginning to end (love the selfie!). The run sounds like so much fun and such a good lunch to follow :-) lovely magic moments indeed.
It was a special day, everything was lovely, no grumpy moments from anyone :)
Happy mothers day to you for yesterday! Sounds like you had a wonderful day and that you are loved very much from your hubby and kids. :-)
Thank you Denise, it was a really great day x
This is sweet! And I know that’s reason for celebration whenever kids choose something else over breaded chicken! :) Happy Mother’s Day!
Absolutely! It’s so lovely to see them choose and enjoy something completely different :)
Happy Mothers Day!! I hope you celebrate whenever the UK one comes up too ;) I love Wagamamas but haven’t been in years. Must fix that x
I do :)

Happy Mother’s Day,looks like you had an absolute corker of a day!The race sounded great fun.Wagamama is one of my favourite restaurants,unfortunately the nearest one to us is 200kms away!
We really did have a lovely day, and we’re lucky we have a Wagamama just 20 mins away :)
Awww lovely post! So cute and sounds like a fab day! Gorgeous photos too! Happy Mothers Day!! Xxx #whatsthestory
Thank you x
And he’s probably now even more embarrassed that you’ve put it on your blog! Sounds like a really lovely day – so pleasant when they behave well and get on, isn’t it? And even better that it coincides with Mother’s Day :)
He takes it all with good grace to be fair to him :) It was lovely, they really were on their best behaviour!
Oh this is the first time that I saw the husband =)
You look so happy. Evrything looks perfect! Happy mothers day!
Thank you Merlinda x
Aww so pleased you had a great Mothers day! And my partner pulls that ‘selfie’ face too! haha x
Thank you x It was hilarious when I looked at the photo, I caught him just as he was about to call me a mad woman :)
Sounds like you had a lovely day, food looks yummy!
Happy Mothers Day xx

Thank you x
Love it! I’d love to take us all to Wagamamas but it would be pointless as my eldest just would not eat anything! So glad you had a lovely day xx
Thank you x I was amazed the first time we took the boys, they both ordered the ramen, demolished it and a miso based soup has become a weekly fixture on our menu now :)
Ah what an awesome day (to use an Americanism!). I used to say the best present I could get on Mothers Day would be some time away from my kids but I think as they get older, more fun and independent then they start to become more of a pleasure to be with! Glad you had fun and even got your hubby rocking the selfie :-)
Yes, there is something to be said for that, and I did get a bit of time to myself too which was lovely. But, the kids were on their best behaviour so we had such a lovely afternoon out :)
What lovely pictures x Looks like you had a fantastic day #magicmoments

Oh wow Sara it sounds like the best day. Huge congratulations on your race, always seems such a great community spirit there. Lunch looks rather fabulous too and I love that selfie – if it was me I would have snorted afterwards! Happy mummy day (albeit a little late!) #whatsthestory
