It was a very quiet Mother's Day yesterday, Corey was at work so I finally got a call around 6pm and we'd taken my MiL out for the afternoon on Saturday. James did ask if she'd not rather go out on the actual day but she said she'd stay home so could spend it with my SIL, so Saturday it was.

It was still a nice day though, the usual breakfast at Tim Hortons then a big shop as it was payday last week. An iced coffee sitting in the sunshine at Costa and then finally home, where after putting everything away I got to potter in the beautiful sunshine in the garden and plant more seeds.

Of course today the temp has dropped at least 10 degrees so now I've got multiple trays of seeds on the kitchen table as it's too cold for them to be outside, even in the greenhouse.

Oh, and Murphy learned how to turn the bedroom tv on. He must have stood on the control and not only turned on the tv, but turned it to a nature programme and turned the volume up to 99. I didn't even know it went that loud, well that is until I heard an elephant bellow from my bedroom.

One bonus, the clocks changing meant it was very quiet when we were out first thing, I suspect a lot of people were still sleeping while we were at the shops.

I didn't get my usual Mother's Day photo with Corey, so instead I'll share this one of Kayleigh, Bodhi and Lucy. Their first one and I wish them many happy years of pasta homemade cards and lukewarm cups of tea.

I also love this one of Bodhi and Lucy, where Bodhi is wearing her Mother's Day outfit.

I've also been binge-watching The Mindy Project. To be honest most of the time I actively dislike Mindy but this is a show I've been watching for well over a year as I watch an episode or two when I'm ironing. At this point, it's barely got any original characters left and is little like the show I enjoyed at the start, but when I realised it was only available until this Thursday I started the binge-watch and at this point have 9 episodes to go. Though thankfully they're only half hours.

Today it's cold and wet and I had to go post a stupid cube. As [personal profile] sperrywink has permission to wag a virtual finger if I complain about getting out and walking I won't say I didn't want to go due to it being cold and wet. But man, it was so beautiful these last few days, and today is just, not. Stupid weather.

Oh Murphy!! That must have given you quite a start!

Glad you had a good Mother's Day. Ours is in a couple more months.

I bet his reaction would have been priceless, though!

it sounds like a nice Mother's Day weekend - glad the weather was lovely. too bad it changed to cold and wet so you couldn't get your seeds outside.

I can imagine hearing an elephant bellow from the bedroom would come as quite the surprise! lucky Murphy that it wasn't a *real* elephant, as while I'm sure he's brave, I'm not sure he'd be up for facing one in person

I’m laughing picturing you hearing a random elephant in your house :’DDDD

Aw, look at those happy moms! They make a beautiful family. I hope you get to see Corey again before long. The planting in the garden sounds like a very nice laid-back way to spend the day. I hope the seeds flourish despite the relocation.

Good luck with the seeds, hope you get them back outside soon!

OMG, that elephant must have been a shock!

until I heard an elephant bellow from my bedroom.

I literally LOL'd when I read that. If I wasn't the only person at McD's, I'd be getting some weird looks. *g*

What great photos! I can't believe how big she is!!

A belated Happy Mother's Day! It sounds like you'd a lovely day. Too bad about the drastic temperature drop and I hope it's become warmer again by now. (It's winter here again - it snowed last night and it's been so cold today despite the sun!)

Poor Murphy, he must have gotten such a shock when the elephant bellowed at him :-)

Awww, the photos of the young family are just adorable! And wow! Bodhi's grown SO MUCH!

The weather appears to be having some form of identity crisis and I don't like it. My walk to the office today involved ALL of the iterations of weather. How am I meant to dress for that?

Those pictures are lovely. Everyone looks so damn happy :)
