I have not blogged in more than two weeks due to our children's school activities. We have been traveling since the last week of April. Although we were back home on the second week of May, I haven't gotten my mojo back. I feel very drained and unmotivated to even write a post. Anyway, Mother's Day was a blast.
My husband cooked breakfast before we went to church, our kids served at the mass. Then we came home after the mass and took some family pictures before we went to the restaurant to eat.
Our kids sure have grown so much. Our daughter has been studying for his finals. This week will be her last week of school so we pretty much spent our evenings studying. She took some placement tests to determine the subjects she will be taking in High School.
While waiting for our daughter, my son and I had sweet moments.
He might be as almost as tall as me now but he is still my baby. He's very affectionate and not afraid to show what he feels.
I live for this moment right here. They seldom wants to be photographed these days but when he is goofing off, we take the chance to capture it.
Hubby and the kids took me to Chinese restaurant and we had our favorite dishes.
They got me some chocolates.
Usually, I get a pot of mini rose for special occasion but this year, I got an orchid. I think my husband saw how happy I was to successfully grow an orchid and see it bloomed so he added another pot for me to grow.
Motherhood taught me so many things. Being a stay-at-home-mom is a great blessing as I get to witness all my children's special moments and milestones. I will be forever grateful to my husband for allowing me to be with them everyday.
It looks like you had a great Mother's Day! That Chinese restaurant looks so delicious. We went out as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a great Mother's Day! My (grown) kids cooked lunch for me and showered me with gifts. I received a lemon tree and I'm so excited.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful Mother's Day! Anytime that you can just spend with the family without being plugged in I consider that a win so when you can spend it with family on the celebration day it's even better!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lovely Mother's Day! My sibling and I treated out mom to a dinner at home with some takeout :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Mother’s Day, I’m glad you had time to spend with your family. Being a stay at home mom is amazing, you get to watch your children grow.
ReplyDeleteYour son cracks me up! It looks like your family spoiled you appropriately! Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the most amazing time and Mother's Day. I love going out for sushi with my family.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a great Mother's Day! It is amazing how fast the years go by.
ReplyDeleteAwww...It looks like you had an amazing Mother's Day with your beautiful family. I absolutely love the orchid and think it is much better than fresh cut flowers that won't last. (Btw, I place 3 ice cubes on top of my orchids each week and they are beautiful!)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a relaxing Mother's Day. Family time is always my favorite time!
ReplyDeleteHappy to know you had a great celebration of Mother's day. You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Mother's Day! We had Chinese too, but we had a takeout instead of going to the resto.

ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely day with your family! That's definitely the way to do it. I worked in the morning and then relaxed for the rest of the day!
