Happy Mother's Day to my mom and Jenny who I love both loads! xx
We had a lovely day today. Grrrrr at the hour leaping forward an hour this morning, we had to be at the cinema for 10am which was really 9am.
Jenny came round and we went to the cinema to see "Walking with Dinosaur's". It was OK although the graphic's were superb. Roman went to sit on Mark's lap and kept covering his eye's up at the scary dinosaur's. All mom's had a miniature box of Rose's as a treat which was a nice surprise for me and Jenny!

On Thursday 20th March I was notified by e-mail I had won a competition, yay! I had won a silver plated trinket heart jewellery box and could have it engraved with words of my choice. I decided to have it for my mom for Mother's Day and by luck was able to collect it from Beckett's Farm on Saturday where the company was attending a craft fair, instead of waiting for it to be posted to me. Unfortunately it didn't photo very well as it was mirrored so no photo's :-(
Gifts for Nanny and Grandma, Roman planted some seeds and Anais sewed up some felt hearts on holiday.
Mother's Day cards....
Remember this gift bag from last year?
Anais coloured this in when she was very young, in infant school. It has become tradition that they use it for me each year so each year we have to put it away safe so it doesn't get bent or creased ready to use the following year.

Thanks mom and dad for my pretty plant.....
..........and Jenny for the pretty daffs out of your garden and the pretty cup and saucer which will go on the shelves in the conservatory.
I was very spoiled today, Anais and Roman woke me up at something silly to seven am and was told to go back to bed, they only managed another half hour before they woke me up again!
I had a Cath Kidston strawberry cup and saucer and cake plate, Roman painted me a Peter Rabbit at school, a heart shape cake stand, a little watering can with a plant in (will put some sponge in when plant dies and turn it into a pin cushion), a little glass cake stand, a crochet make your own bag kit, three little kilner jars which Anais filled with sweeties (which I can use for crafting things when they are empty), cake decorating tools and two sets of plungers and two bottles of perfume from the Body Shop.
Tonight I am feeling very lucky to have my kiddies especially after reading the card Anais made for me (too personal to put on here) which made me cry.

Anais has been playing her violin and Roman has been building his Lego. They also played Minecraft on the X-box.
Tonight we watched "21 Jump Street" on Netflix which Mark enjoyed but I thought it was pretty rubbish.
Anais' bedroom is finished!
Well, very nearly finished, we still have to put a tiny piece of skirting board by the door, paint the door frame white and shorten the curtain to sit above the desk but otherwise it is all done - 10 days after starting it. Mark was wallpapering and painting at 12.30am last night to get it finished! She was excited to sleep in her new room especially as she has been sharing a bed with Roman for the past week, Roman said he will miss her.
Room has been started from scratch, ceiling painted, head and foot board pulled off which pulled half the plaster off too so needed to be re-plastered, carpet and underlay laid, walls stripped, walls re-papered, walls painted, new furniture assembled, new wall light, new ceiling light, new drop down desk, new chair, mirror's put up.
