The family took me out to brunch today to celebrate Mother’ s Day. We went to the O’Charley’s restaurant near my house. O’Charley’s has an excellent brunch every Saturday and Sunday until 3:00 pm.
I ordered an omelette from their brunch menu. It was delicious! Thank you to my wonderful family for making today a very special day!
Tonight I put the kids to bed and then drove up to WalMart to buy their Easter baskets. Hubby was home, of course. I would never leave the kids in bed and then just go to the store with them left alone!!!!
Well, I was practically giddy with the thought of being in WalMart by myself! Unfortunately, the supply of Easter baskets was running low and they were so picked over, that I couldn’t find anything that I liked.
I ended up going to Target and finding the perfect baskets there. So the trip was a little longer than I anticipated, but it was a great success.
The kids are having their Valentine’s parties at school today. The actual holiday falls on Sunday this year, and there is not school on Friday nor Monday, so today is the only day it makes sense to have the parties and celebrate a fun, loving holiday.
We were up late writing the names of classmates on dozens of valentines that we bought at KMart over the weekend. The kids also have to decorate a shoebox to take and put on their desks as a valentine’s mailbox. That is fun, too. We are using shiny things, glitter, bows and stickers. I think I am enjoying this as much as the kids are!
