For all of the Moms in the US, Happy Mother's Day! (Happy Belated Mother's Day to UK Moms!) What are you doing to celebrate? Any favorite memories with your kid(s) you want to share? We are on a weekend getaway not far from home (my choice, all planned by me). We all went to dinner and a play last night, Hubby brought me breakfast in bed this morning , and we're going to go to a science center with an aquarium, a zoo, and an adventure park that has ziplining and other thrilling attractions that my son and I will enjoy. Mr. eloneen will observe, take pictures and administer first aid and psychological support, as needed. We're trying to create lots of fun family memories with our teenage son while he still likes being with us! One of my favorite memories with my son: One night, when he was about three years old, after his bedtime prayers, he had lots of existential questions about life and death --I know, at age three!!! I was caught completely off guard, and after a few minutes of this, I decided it was time to go to sleep. He begged me to let him ask one more question. I agreed, and he asked "How do they get the corn inside the can?" (absolutely adorable!!) I told him I would find a video online for that. Off to adventure now!!

Wow, you will be totally exhausted after all that celebration, good times Mother's Day was back in March for us, do you have Father's Day over in the US? Ours is in June, as far as I recall. What a hoot that after all that heavy questioning, your son was most interested in the canning of corn. Kids' minds are amazing.

What a hoot that after all that heavy questioning, your son was most interested in the canning of corn. Kids' minds are amazing. It was a beautiful weekend! Blue skies, warm weather, just lovely! Great fun, too, and not only are we all exhausted, but the car was "fragrant' with the aroma of perspiration (everyone's) and sheer terror (mine) from the high ropes courses and ziplining experience! The first order of business- showers for us all! I think my husband and I would be good candidates for a pain reliever commercial right about now, too. I'll post pictures soon. Father's Day for us is on the third Sunday in June, which is June 18 this year. Dads will get their day then!
