I have this weekend off, but it's been raining and cold. I need to put a second coat of paint on the front door but it looks like that won't happen until later next week. I'll try to take photos then.
A bunch more books have sold and I'll ship them tomorrow and update then.
For mother's day we got MIL some pistachios (her favorite) and "The Notebook" DVD. For my mom, DH got her "Monster In Law" LOL and I got her a frame and some B&BW shower gel - Magnolia. It's one of her favorite scents. We stayed frugal this year.
The kids gave me some lotion I've been wanting and DS made me a trivet at school. The lotion was on sale for $8.00 and DD made me a card. DH made me breakfast in bed - it was very good except for the eggs. He overcooks things. I tried, but he noticed I didn't eat them all. DD also gave me a rose.
One place I worked, the ladies would compare notes on sweetest day, mother's day, etc. I would feel bad if I got less than others. Now I'm older, wiser, and don't really care what other people do. We don't buy cards too often anymore, because it wastes money. Once you get out of the habit of buying a card for every occasion, it seems silly to ever get one.
A rainy weekend

Glad you had such a great and frugal day! It sounds like all the gifts were just perfect. I got breakfast in bed too and did'nt finish it either! :-) But their thought sure is sweet!
