My Mothers Day started with Master 5's warm little arms around my neck as he snuggled in at 6am.
Then at 6:30am Miss 8 announced in the doorway that it was Mothers Day, and did I want breakfast yet!

Smiling but still tired, I suggested she wait until at least 8am ... and hey come jump into bed with us!
So she did, and all three of us fell asleep.

Now I have to explain something here, Miss 8 was all excited about giving me breakfast in bed, she'd planned a bowl of Nutri Grain with Master 5, because she said she didn't know how to cook me Bacon & Eggs.!!! Very cute.
I didn't mind, I'm not a big Bacon & Eggs eater.
Last night when we were discussing this she asked what time I would like to be woken up for breakfast (she's an early riser) and it went something like this ...

"What time do you want breakfast in bed?"
"Eleven sounds good!"
"Eleven!!!!! *laugh* How about Seven."
"Nah, TEN then ...?"
"TEN!!! *shriek*  .... Seven Thirty?"
"Okay, EIGHT o'clock and that's my last offer!"

Miss 8 woke again at 7:30am and dragged Master 5 out of bed.  I heard the TV go on, and for a moment thought I was getting my 10am breakfast call.  But then to my surprise and delight they appeared at my door singing ...

"Happy Mothers Day to You"
(to the tune of Happy birthday)

Miss 8 had the bag of wrapped presents, Master 5 had the beautiful hand written card.
I had a lovely time opening my gifts one of which was a "HOUSE WORK VOUCHER" made in computing classes at Miss 8's school. I also got a beautiful amulet - type necklace (which I really do like), a body & room spray (both?? I know), and the book FOTY bought - exactly as requested!

Next was breakfast, now Miss 8 decided Nutri-Grain wouldn't cut it - so I suggested she let me assist her to make me a "cooked" breakfast - being Ham, Cheese & Tomato Croissant - grilled.  She was happy with that, oh and a cup of coffee - she put the coffee in, I did the rest.

Then when it was all ready, she brought it into me in bed.  It was fantastic - she was so sweet, but a bit sad, because she wanted to be able to do it all by herself.  I gave her a hug and thanked her and said it was all by herself ... nearly!

After breakfast in bed, and a shower, we headed to the movies.  We saw Nim's Island - nice movie.  Then had McDonald's for lunch!!!  Well I didn't want to cook!  My munchkins wholeheartedly agreed ... funny about that.

Then we visited my Mum who was really excited to see us all.  We stayed there most of the afternoon.  Then we came home and much to Miss 8's disgust I cooked dinner and did some household things!
