mother’s day pamper morning

i have a love/hate relationship with mother's day pamper mornings at the school. this time around was no exception. monday morning my sweet boy skipped into class with me and then...

at his instruction, i rubbed some hand cream into my own hands, seven times, painted my own nails (i was smart and brought along my own clear polish this year... sneaky!)

i had my hair brush for approximately twelve seconds...

and then helped joseph thread coloured pasta onto a piece of string that amazingly i got to keep.

i guess you'd call that a success? mum life strikes again. but no matter what, i love his little face. so so much.

pre-primary pamper morning

this morning i had the pleasure of attending the pre-primary pamper morning that madeline's class put on. it was adorable! we were escorted to our child's desk...

where a little beauty caddy had been set up (with a nail file, hand cream, a cotton pad and little chocolates), alongside a plate with warm water for us to dip our fingers in. 

madeline had me soak my fingers, then pretended to file my nails (because i don't have any!) before painting each one a different colour. 

i couldn't help but laugh, but she was so pleased to be doing it.

then it was off to the beauty salon photo booth to have our pictures taken.

what a cute morning. i am so glad that madeline is being taught by such kind women who took the time out to acknowledge us. 

and for my sweet girl. i love her to bits! ♥
