You have to love the effort that school, kinder, cubs and day care put into getting our little one's to make their mums something special for today. We got two beaded bracelets each, two glasses with tea light candles in them wrapped up in specially made wrapping paper, a number of drawings, two cardboard photo frames with shell pasta glued around the outside and spray painted gold, and of course some extra special cards. How spoilt were we?! Was very cute :). And to top it off they served us a special breakfast in bed! (At their age that = CocoPops lol).

This is my third mothers day with the girls. Even though I know I am a mum to them, and they see me as a mum, I still feel funny about getting spoilt like any other mum out there on mother's day. Like I'm an imposter or something. I know it is totally silly and given the relationship I have with the girls I should feel like a 'real' mum but I still have my moments when I feel like I'm only half a mum or something, if that makes sense, and I'm just waiting for someone to point it out. Anyway, despite my insecurities some days, today our girls did an awesome job of showing us just how much they love us as their mums and I felt very special indeed. They rock and I love them very much x
Of course mother's day was not just about us, it was also about our mums and their mums. My mum lives in Queensland so I don't get to see her often, but I called her to tell her I love her and miss her :). She wasn't doing much with her mother's day, just pottering around the house. I felt a little sad knowing that none of us live close enough to spend the day spoiling her and I know she would be thinking about us and about her mum/my nan who passed away some years ago now. I miss them both very much and I feel bad that it has been so long since I've spent a mother's day with her. Next year I will have to do something about that.
Fortunately we do live close to Scout's mum, so after gifts and breakfast in bed and calling my mum, we headed off for lunch at the golf club with Scout's mum and her family. We had lovely food and drink and generally quality family time together. It was great and we rolled out of there feeling like we could not possibly fit another thing in, so much so that we are skipping dinner tonight. It was a awesome day and I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful family to spend it with.

To top things off ... I almost forgot! Scout got an extra special present this mother's day. A little tinny (AKA the red rocket) to go fishing in :). A little extravagant considering we are about to spend a mint on IVF but she deserves this and it really was a bargain courtesy of eBay! She has been so excited, she's spent the last 4 days studying up for her boat license :) The test is tomorrow so I hope she passes cos I wanna go fishing next weekend!
