The best presents on Mother's Day are always the ones they make themselves. Although the smelly soaps - gardenia and freesia, yum! - Fixit provided are pretty nice and the mother's day breakfast box put together by our school canteen was also a lovely touch and made extra sweet by Climber's determination to keep it secret from me through the whole complicated business of note home, money returned in envelope, and box brought home in large bag from local supermarket on Friday.
Cherub's kindergarten gave us a jar of home-made chutney and had I not picked him up early on Thursday I would also have had a special card with his drawing -of me!- on the front. But I did pick him up too early on Thursday, so I made sure I went home and had a little whinge to Fixit about how sad I was not to get my special card. The next day I was telling a friend how I'd probably need to do another whine Saturday to make sure he got the message, but later that day Cherub piped up that he'd made me a card. And writed my name. And drawded some love hearts, three. Good old Fixit. As for Climber I received no less than 3 declarations of love and good wishes for Mother's Day from my little note-writer, embellished with thoughtful touches like purple love-hearts...
But wait, that's not quite right. Those things they make are
nearly the best. The
actual best present on Mother's Day is of course the two lovely boys smiling at me from the end of my bed as they proudly display their gifts of love to me.
Happy Mother's Day.

Awwww, what a shiny happy day!!
ReplyDeleteI love how he says writed and drawded. Too precious. :)
Happy Mother's Day!
I'm not sure where the apostrophe goes either but Happy Day of Mothers to you, too! This is a gorgeous post :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I don't think I was SUCH a good child - my mother is just freakishly patient. And I do recall her using a cranky voice, but just not screaming like a banshee. (Like I do at times!)
Enjoy the rest of your day!
And my day started at 6.30am with the Tween shouting in my ear "I DON'T want to go to soccer today".
ReplyDeleteyay for mother's day and sweet little kiddlies.
ReplyDeleteaw, aren't they gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI think it's Mother's Day, as in day belonging to Mothers???
anyway happy mother's day!
Cherub gets out of bed with the perfect Farrah Fawcett-do all ready to go!
ReplyDeleteawwww.... !
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the pride with which they present their um, presents just melt your heart?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous.
I'm glad you had a good day too.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first year with hand-made presents from them both - and I think I could burst, I'm so pleased.
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Mothers Day!
Awww...word verification is iwuvr
Now I need to go call my mom!
Oh, look at that picture! You've got the best looking boys!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day.
Heidi
Writed and drawded got me in the heart too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a lovely day -
Lordy they are a couple of cutie patooties!
ReplyDelete(and did you notice that Tracey didn't mention the apostrophe even though we ALL know that SHE knows where to put it??!)
Look at that Cherub grinning so big. And Climber's pride in his efforts. That is precious. I get more 'Love' things from J.T. than I do Abby. Abby is all about Abby. If she gives you a card, it's all about praise for Abby and Abby's artwork. But she always wants her Mommy when she's sick. She knows where the love is. And Tracey's restraint is admirable. I think. Except I really wanted to know where it goes too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are very loved!
ReplyDeleteHappy MOther's Day!
You do sound like a pretty awesome mom. I think your kids are on to something.
ReplyDeleteHow do you get anything done, though, with all of that cute DNA running around your house? Your sons are so handsome that one would have to spend about an hour a day simply admiring them.
Priceless. Love the pointing...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous children. Happy Mother's Day.
That is adorable!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Mother's Day!
