Oops - late Mom's Day post...

For anyone who cares, we had a good Mother's Day. After many cards were opened in the early morning, we headed out to Baba's for brunch. Nana came with us! Jim, Angie, Alice , and Jamie were there too and the girls had a wonderful time. We came home and I planted a strawberry patch - and found space to throw a couple of herbs in the bed.
Mika made me a beautiful bookmark, magnet, and a decorated tin foil covered peat pot. She wasn't at daycare on the day that they actually planted the flowers in the peat pot.
Tuesday is picture day at the daycare. We're sending Mika in to see if her beloved caregivers there will be any better at getting Mika to pose for a photo than we are. The biggest challenge will be getting her to dress in something other than her snoopy shirt or her "girl n' boyn" (white tshirt with a screen showing a chinese boy and girl having tea or something). Then again, does it really matter what she wears?
Getting dressed for the day is always an ordeal now. No less than 2 ounces of tears.

Mika and Saoirse were set loose in Kingsway mall the other night. Kris and I were shopping in the store that Auntie Quin (formerly Auntie Kerry) works. The guys foolishly decided to wait out in the mall and let go of the girls' hands. Saoirse received an upgraded play kitchen setup and passed her awesome wooden play stove along to Mika. Thanks Saoirse!
