Mother's Day

For some reason Shilpa and I had got it into our heads that Mother's Day was a week before it actually was - those marketing guys really did do their jobs well! As it happened it worked out rather well because Mother's Day proper was actually on the A'Formosa weekend. Thus we celebrated a week early and after the usual Sunday morning 21k run we went to the Equatorial Japanese Restaurant for their awesome buffet lunch.

After the run you can imagine just how hungry we were (we skipped breakfast I hasten to add). Seb and Sid were as excited as always - it's so cool to see them at this age where every new experience is truly NEW. Having said that they take it in their stride. Strangely, the highlight of their day was a big bus parked outside the hotel, they would have given anything to ride on it.













Lunch was gorgeous, the boys tried everything there was - it was quite embarrassing the amount of bowls and plates of food they had (all half eaten of course). Shilpa seemed to have a good time but then she always does if Sid and Seb are there.















Half way through lunch they presented her with her Mother's Day gifts which they'd chosen specially for her (sort of), they bought her a new Nike running watch as her current one is somewhat worn out and also a book of "Mother's Stories", not to mention their card. This was then followed by more ice-cream than you can shake a stick at and then we all went home to try to sleep the feast off.

Later that week, before the real Mother's Day, the boys made Mummy Mother's Day cards - cute or what?



On the real Mother's Day, after we got back from A'Formosa the boys took Mummy out to their favourite meal of Dosa (Indian savoury pancakes) and afterwards more ice-cream at Baskin Robbins - Wow, was this a treat for Mummy (I think Daddy was looking pretty happy too).
