Happy Mother's Day!

That's right it's Mother's Day here in England which means I get two this year. Woohoo! Of course we missed it last year so this is make-up. The kids are busy making gifts with daddy in the kitchen. Yesterday we went to Meadowhall, which was almost as packed as it was at Christmas time. We had a nice late lunch at Pizza Express, something Phil and I are really going to miss. Then we walked around the mall. You can just guess what Lady Jane spent her allowance on. Shoes. We window shopped jewelry and clothes. We went through toy shops but the kids weren't allowed to spend their pocket money on anything they could get in America. We did end up buying me some books (on the area) and a new coat. I've been admiring the English style coats all winter and I finally got one. Yeah! I looked on the website of the store we got it from and realized I love their casual clothes too. I'm just not willing to spend 38 pounds ($76) on a top. Sigh. But the coat was reasonably priced and I should be able to wear it for years to come.

3 more weeks and I'll be typing this from home. :)
