So I'm finally getting around to blogging about Mother's Day. With 2 kids in school and a creative husband the presents were endless. First of all, we like to celebrate Mother's and Father's Day on Saturday; since on Sunday there are meetings, church, the no shopping policy....etc. Besides, the kids can hardly wait to share their presents.
Spencer made a wonderful pancake breakfast, then Megan had soccer pictures in the morning and then we all braved Costco...so I could get some prescription sunglasses (still waiting to get those back). Then home for a quick lunch and some tidying up. Then Megan and I were off to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra Kids series to listen to Mozart: Boy Genius. It was really good and fun to get out with Megan. We both enjoy the Symphony and she says that she wants to continue on for next year.

Upon arriving home we decided that it was "time". So Aaron started things off with a nice red balloon with a note attached that says how much he Loves me...and he enjoyed chasing the balloon around the living room. Next Spencer and the boys shared with me some sugar cookies that they freshly baked. They even made 3 that spelled out M-O-M. (Evan was snitching them all week!).
Evan shared his gift that he made a preschool. A lovely card with his hand print and a painted ladybug rock in a beautiful box. He was so happy to give it to me! His ladybug is one with inverted colors...a black bug with red dots!Megan then gave me her present. A lovely spa basket with bath bombs, Epsom salts, nail file, fluffy puff, rose petal soaps, and bath gel. They all smelled lovely and they made everything at school. So far Megan and Evan are the only ones to have tried anything...they enjoyed using them a lot in their own baths.
Spencer then handed me a couple of gift certificates to go to a spa....I get to pick from a group of spas that accept this GC. So I'm trying not to lose that special little paper.
At church the next day, all moms were given a candle and cookies. My kids all tried the cookies, Megan broke hers in half and shared with me. Thanks Megan. Happy future Mother's Day to you too! Then I had a nice nap after church and a lovely dinner. It was a full busy weekend.
