There are two things I ask for on this day. Home made cards. I scored big time this year because apparently Helen was teaching the rest of the class three different styles of cards to make. And I got one of each.
Emily made me a butterfly card, with moustached hearts.
Home made cards make me happy. As does breakfast in bed. And I have to say that himself can make perfect poached eggs, to go in my divine Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. I cannot stress how good this was!
That's it. That is all it takes to make me extremely satisfied with my Mother's Day. Easily pleased at times, I am. The fact that I got chocolates is just a bonus.
Now, on the other hand, the fact that Emily gave me this brings me to only one conclusion.
No, none of those conclusions that you lot are coming to right now! I do believe that Emily is hinting she would like to have a Japanese Crab and Cucumber Salad in the near future.
What does the rest of the day hold for me? Little to no computer time - I'm having what is as close as I can come to a day off. No sewing either. I established yesterday that I stupidly ran out of thread. There's going to be a roast chicken to consume. And I have been challenged to a Wii tournament later on. Nothing like having children to show you that you have absolutely no coordination at all. But they make my Mother's Day what it is - which is fabulous.
I hope wherever you are, whatever you are doing, you are having an equally great day.
(Apologies to all readers living in countries not celebrating Mother's Day today. Didn't mean to make you panic briefly.)

ReplyDeleteha ha, love the crab! Happy Mothers Day, hope you are having a great day. Tell the girls their cards are fabulous
ReplyDeleteWell just back from a lovely lunch out, and apparently the inability to get the kid's ice cream combos right, 3 flavours to mix - duh!, entitled us to 25% off the bill - bonus!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your chocs and Wii x

ReplyDeleteFab cards and those poach eggs look great. Liking the sound of that japanese crab salad - hope you share the recipe and pics when you do make it! :-)

ReplyDeleteI’m a fan of home made cards too. Your girls did good!I wonder why Mothers Day is March there and May here...weird.
ReplyDeleteI wonder also if I can get Mr. P to whips me up eggs Benedict before he goes to work?
Enjoy your day off and getting your butt kicked in the Wii Games...
What gorgeous cards and lovely treats you've had today! Although I think you definitely owe us dieters the recipe for Japanese Crab and Cucumber Salad after flaunting actual pics of real chocolate in our poor deprived faces ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely handmade cards - no cards here but I did get a smudgy watercolour!
ReplyDeleteAdorable cards and what a scrummy looking breakfast!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers Day for yesterday, glad you had a nice day. The girls cards are lovely. Is Emily trying to tell you something with the moustached hearts?
ReplyDeleteYum, Eggs Benedict, lucky you.
Laughed at the crab, I have noooo idea what you are inferring!
Love the cards and your breakfast! I hope they went easy on you in the Wii tournament!!
