Having both moms here and family for a BBQ. Not super excited to host, but it's way easier than splitting our time (I think). Plus, all of DS's stuff is here, so it's much easier to take him and put him down for a nap/change him/whatever.
This is what we have been doing for super bowl and Easter. So much easier to be at our house that way both sides of family show up and all of DS' stuff is ready to go. We are going to the ILs on Saturday, I better start packing tomorrow.
I'm completely AWing mother's day here. DH didn't get me an xmas present, birthday present, (valentines), anniversary present and owed me a few "im sorry"s from the last year... So for this year and this year only I'm expecting him to do something. Of course i have to give complete instructions... So I'm having breakfast in bed, a present (don't care if it's a paperclip i just want him to take time out of his day and think of something I'd like!) a looooong shower, and a family day without (!) the inlaws and without him running of to teach, rehearse, play gigs etc. DH is confused and scared . And a big fat sushi dinner mmmm!
It will be a one time only occurrence so he's gonna splash out!
Last winter at a charity auction we won dinner for ten at a restaurant in the bigger town nearby. So Saturday we're having a huge Mother's Day meal there: me, DH, DS, MIL, FIL, SIL1, SIL2, BIL, two nephews, DH's grandmother, my mom, and my two grandmothers. I'm kinda bummed my dad can't make it but he's running a skeet tournament at the gun club.
Sunday will probably be church & family lunch as usual. DH and I haven't discussed anything other than the big family meal, but he loves giving presents so I won't be surprised if I get sweets or a gift.
Not sure what our plans are.... Things haven't been great with DH, but have been better the last 4/5 days, so I'm hoping he plans something. Unlike my birthday. Or anniversary. A girl can hope!
We dont really do gifts in our house between each other. We usually just pick something we want that we would consider a "treat" and call it our holiday/birthday/anniversary gift. I'll probably go get a pedicure this weekend. DH also wants me to go get a massage. I have a gift card his mom gave me for one in November that I couldn't use at the end of pregnancy due to medical issues coming up. He said his gift would be finding out a way for me to have time to do those things. That sounds jerk like when I type, but he's always willing to stay home with baby while I go. Unfortunately lo won't go to anyone but me, so that's where the issue comes up.
I'm betting dh won't really do anything but his mom will probably get me flowers and or chocolate. We need to get her something. Dh and I suck at gifts.
