But what I loved about this mother's day most, was that I got my first ever bought present from El. Her school had a mother's day stall selling items between $1-$5 for the kids to pick from and buy for their mums. When I was teaching, the school where I was at also held a mother's day stall with new and hand made items donated form local stores and the community. I remember one of my students (an absolute darling) got his mother a bottle of JLo's perfume and a pretty scarf (see what I mean by darling) for $5 bucks...5!!!
So I gave El $5 and was excited to see what little treasure El might find for me.
I'm happy to report that my little darling chose a beautiful gift for me...
A lovely set of pink tea light candles in two beautiful little candle holders... Loved it!
She came home home with only $1 change, so she wasn't stingy with her purchase either- unlike my friend's little boy who spent a whopping $1 on her present. :)
I could tell El put a lot of thought into her lovely gift, as she told me she saw lots of things, but she knew I would like this the best. She's so sweet and she's also just like her father! She couldn't wait until the actual day to give it to me, so she made me open it early because she just couldn't wait to see what I thought (that's Joe for sure). So I opened it and she loved seeing my happy reaction and insisted to set them up for me so we could have a lovely candle lit dinner...
She was very proud of her little purchase. Though I'm 100% sure that if there were a pair of Pyjama jeans for sale at the stall, they would have been her first choice. Since those adds have come out (the pyjama jeans ones) she is constantly telling me "mum you need a pair of pyjama jeans!" or if I'm wearing my jeans, she'll say... "mum, are they pyjama jeans? You should get some pyjama jeans!" Not sure why she things I need them so badly, but I definitely won't be surprised if that's what she gets me next year.
