Mothers Day!

America celebrates Mothers day on a different day to England so over here it is on May 11th. We decided to celebrate on this date rather than in March mainly because it was easier for the children as we knew the school and preschool would be doing their usual Mothers Day craft work this week. 

In our traditional family way I enjoyed a lovely well deserved lay-in, beautiful and creative cards from the children, a yummy breakfast in bed, a stunning flower delivery and then dinner at a great local Italian restaurant it was a very pleasant day!

This weekend also involved two more childrens parties one at Pump It Up and one at a local country club, then in the evening we were invited to a block party in the neighbourhood near us. This involved bring your own alcohol, blankets, chairs and children, the organiser hired a massive outdoor movie screen for the kids, face painter and burger truck then opened their doors for a late night house party. 

I don't think the block party was for any particular reason just neighbours wanting to get together with the children and have fun together.

On a final note after us continually telling off the cats for drinking the pool water, one morning one of them obviously leant in a little too far...😆😆
