Happy Suka Mamas day

It's mother's day tomorrow.  What should we get her?  The regular tulips? Sure why not. That always is safe.

So Kieran and I headed to the Bloor West Village to get some flowers.  It wasn't his first choice for a stop.  He wanted to get a bagel and hot chocolate at Tim Hortons first.  Mother's day wasn't on his top 10 list either.  But I eventually persuaded him to go to the flower shop first.

Kieran wanted to get the ones that he liked, because they're open already (but will last like 1 day, and aren't mamas favourite, but she wouldn't care since he chose them) and they looked like dandelion weeds.  But I managed to convince him that these purple tulips will open up and last longer so he can see them longer.  So he went with my advice.  But then we got home.  Flowers are nice.

They smell nice.  They make the house feel homey.

It was a rainy day, heavy showers.  I knew we'd be staying in.  So I thought of something else we could do while mama was at work.  I said "you know what Kieran, it would make mama's day if we did all the laundry and put away everything and cleaned up the whole house!  Do you want to help me?"

Kieran said "yes" and as he put away his toys, he'd play with them, and set the ones he wanted to play with later on my desk and the other toys in the baskets.   We watched Iron Giant while we cleaned up.  He kept asking me if we were done, cause he said he was getting tired.  We won't be done until everything is put away.

It took us a while, but we did it.

He's still feeling under the weather.  He's had a cough and stuffed up nose for a few days now and as we put the last of the laundry away up in his room.

We sat down to take a break.  A few minutes of Treehouse and the eyes began to roll back.  

Kieran had worked pretty hard and deserved a rest.

He returned the favour that mama has been doing every day for a while now.

Good job dude.

Happy mother's day.
