This morning the kids and Daddy made me waffles and gave me a lovely card, an orchid and a jewellery set. In the afternoon, Edzèa and I participated in a mother/daughter art class. Neve slept peacefully in her stroller while Edzèa and I did portraits of each other. It was called “Queen for a Day”. It was with her regular art teacher and it was fun to work on seperate canvas together. It was Edzèa’s first official portrait painting. She had her own ideas about the way she was going to do eyes, nose, mouth so in the end, she went free even after she learned “the correct” way. If you look closely you can see my little purple crown on top of my head! It does bear some resemblance to me! It was fun and nice not to be the one coming up with the art idea and cleaning up the mess.

Then tonight, Tim, put all three kids to bed so I could go out for dinner with Amanda. We had a delicious kid-free dinner at a little restaurant in Stittsville called Louisiannie’s. Delicious salmon and cajun food.

Neve slept 6 hours straight in her basinette last night at 2 months old. She is fine going down awake with her soother in! Yay!

I wonder how Mom’s Mother’s day is going with Bruce tonight? This was our first Mother’s Day apart in 4 years. Boo hoo.

Here are some random pics from this month of the kids:
