The Luckiest Mum in the world

Yep.  That's me.  Mother's Day today and I am spoiled.

I joked with my kids yesterday, saying that since daddy was going away to see his mum, they would have to cook me dinner for mothers day.

No rolled eyes, no groans.

 A resounding "YES" came from them.

"I'm making my famous fudge cake" said the big boy.

"I'm doing the main course" said Emma.

"I'll do the starter" said Bear.

Hubby took them off to the supermarket for a special shopping trip.

Before heading down to see his mum in Raglan, Hubby cooked me my favourite breakfast - pancakes with bacon and fruit salad washed down with some good strong coffee.

After brekkie I went off to read my book whilst the big boy busied himself cooking not just one fudge cake, but a secret second one as well.

After a quick walk around North Head, we decided that Bear's starter could actually be lunch before we headed out to do some errands.

When we returned Emma got busy making the main course.  Individual mince pies with some of my favourite veggies.  She busily chopped and stirred and rolled out the pastry (with just a little help from me), then she filled them and put them in the oven.  

Perfect wee pies

Meanwhile the big boy was secretly decorating his double layer cake.

Double layer choc fudge and choc banana cake 

And before I knew it dinner was served.

Pies and veggies (plus mushrooms that were added later)

The big boys double layer chocolate cake.

And all this yummy food was safe for Emma to eat and prepared lovingly by my gorgeous kids

Hope you had a fantastic mothers day too.
