I was hoping that this Mothers Day would be an extra special one and I would be witnessing my very first birth, but the stubborn little Miss has better ideas.
Anyway, it was still a fantastic day & I was spoilt rotten by my 2 little munchkins.
The morning started off with Grace creeping in with her pillow under her arm at some ungodly early hour. It was kinda nice though to have her to snuggle up to - she's a great cuddler! Xav woke about 7.30am, so Duane and Grace got up to go get him and sort out the morning fun.
A luke-warm cup of tea was bought up to me to enjoy in bed, I was told that cold toast could also be served up, or we could go out for a lovely breakfast. As appealing as it was to have toast crumbs scattered through my flannelette sheets, I decided on the eating out option.
The kids then excitedly presented me with all my special presents. First there was a colourful macaroni necklace that they had hand painted at playgroup, which also had a great big diamond sparkler taking pride of place in the centre.
~~Taking pride of place hanging on the rear vision mirror~~ Next was a red felt heart that Grace had hand sewn at pre-school, also on it were some beads that she had threaded and sewn on. She had great pleasure in describing how she had made it and that she hadn't done it all by herself, the teachers had helped. With the felt heart there was also another necklace. This one was some autumn leaves that she had collected and threaded into some twine. There was also a card that both kids had made together, with some lovely words written by Daddy.
The last gift at first glance looked like a fold up chair (I was gearing up to act excited), but then after a few moments I realised it wasn't a crappy chair it was in fact a Tripod!! Yippee, I have wanted one for a while. not really sure what to do with it, but I'll definitely look the part!After presents we headed up to the Grand for breakfast. We had the whole place to our self, so the kids had a ball running amok in the restaurant - sliding down the bannister's and swinging off the rails. Cheeky little monkeys!
I had a decadent breakfast of French toast and caramelised bananas - Yummo! The kids pigged out on poached eggs and way too many babycinno's.
After breakfast we picked up 2 carts and went for a drive around the course. The kids love going to see the cows in the back paddock and also the kangaroos that hang around the bushes. It was a lovely Mothers Day, the presents were perfect - Of course just being with my beautiful family was the best present ever!
