This year’s was fantastic! I did the usual and gave Cub and Foal $5 each and off they went to school. Unfortunately, the Mother’s Day stall ran out of stuff but promised they’d restock for the next day. Foal’s money was also stolen so I gave him some more money. And off they went again. The Mother’s Day stall ran out of stuff AGAIN! What a shame…
Dad decided he’d take the boys to the local shopping centre on Saturday because he also needed to pick something up for his mum. So far, so good…
Dad bought me an electric frying pan,
Pup came home with a present for himself – a donut maker,
Cub chose a chrysanthemum, and
Foal was empty handed and in a filthy mood.
Apparently Dad and Foal had a bit of an argument and they ended up being really angry with each other. Once we’d sorted out the confusion, Dad agreed to take him back to the shop on Sunday. This time was a success. Foal chose the most beautiful, handmade glass dolphin figurine. It was such a thoughtful gift because years ago the two of us were lucky enough to see a mother dolphin swimming with her baby. It’s one of my favourite memories but I was surprised that he remembered the experience.
A family friend flew up from Melbourne to visit for a week and she arrived on Sunday. The mothers in the family decided we wanted to go out for lunch and that’s what we did. No cooking or cleaning. Bonus!!!
All in all? The Best Mother’s Day ever!!!
