Mother's Day

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIMESH!

We got our mother a blood pressure monitor for Mother's Day, and yes I am for real! She has a bit of a problem with blood pressure and she mentioned one on discount at Harvey Norman a couple weeks ago so I dropped into the store after coming back from uni on Friday to buy it and hid it at home. It was funny because yesterday night after coming home from shopping my mum was going on about seeing dads and their kids out shopping for Mother's Day presents and how none of us got her anything! By the time it was past midnight we finally decided to give it to her just in case she decided to go out and buy one herself the next day and fortunately she was happy to have one!

This morning I had to get to church extra early because I was rostered to put up the tables. Aonghas also had to rehearse with the choir as he was playing trumpet with them. We got the tables up pretty quickly and by then the service was about to start. Our youth group was sitting at the back of the hall since we were going to hand out small Mother's Day gifts to the mothers. Aonghas's performance was right at the beginning though and we didn't realise everyone would be standing and singing while he was playing up in front. I was standing right at the back so I had to hold the camera up high! Fortunately a guy in our youth group Jireh grabbed a chair for me to stand on.

The choir performed a song later in the service after the sermon which was given by the minister's wife, and that was followed by the children's performance which is usually funny! This time was no different, with a little boy running off stage in the middle of one of the songs they were singing. I found out a little later afterwards that it was because he had to go to the toilet!

As soon as they were done, mothers were asked to stand up so that we could give them these little clay badges that had been made for them. We didn't have too many so we were hoping we had enough! I think we managed to give one to nearly every parent, but some mothers wouldn't sit down after they had received one which made things slightly confusing!

So to all those mothers and everyone else out there hope you all had a Happy Mother's Day! We love you!!
