Mother's day

The day started with P jumping on top of me with 2 huge boxes, beautifully wrapped by himself (with a special rectangular-shaped string bow that he made himself that he learned from his book "dangerous book for boys"). I've got a wonderful Swatch watch, very colourful and cheerful, and a wooden jewelery box with a mirror and antique-looking style that I desperately needed to keep all my trinkets safely and tidily. And, the best present: loads of kisses!
Then we've got breakfast with a gorgeous and delicious cake, shaped as a heart (with white chocolate decoration, a marzipan red rose and a caramel twirly thing) that he got from the local pastisseria. Truly yummy. I should have taken a picture of it but it was so good that we couldn't wait to try it and it disappeared in no time! cakes here are so yummy and beautiful, they're little pieces of art.
After breakfast we all went to the castle on top pf Montjuic. There you have the best view of the Barcelona and a lovely pine forest. There was loads of people, mainly tourist as it's one of the must-see places in town. This is a picture of the hill, the Montjuic from afar.
And the next one is a view of the city from the Montjuic.
We also went for lunch to a very fashionable place, the old port part of the city, which now is full of trendy restaurants that double as discos at night. We had lovely Italian food.
It was a good day and my mother-in-law was specially delighted as she had the opportunity to receive a mother's day present and congratulations for the first time in years as we're never in Argentina when is mother's day there.
I did miss my mum, though. But it's good to have good memories of her.

Congratulations to you, all my dear friends who are yummy mummies! Being a mummy is great fun but a lot of work too and it's good to feel appreciated.
