Why was today unique?

2012:
Well, it's Mother's day! Kids went out to the store at 7AM to buy flowers for me. Then, they made breakfast - crepes. Crepes with lemon and honey was REALLY good! In the afternoon, Avni and I worked on scrapbooking. Later, Neil, Avni and I went to Costco to buy contact lens for them. Came home and made calzone pizza for dinner. I've DVD player that can play YouTube on it for over 2 yrs. But I never got around to wire up internet on it. Finally, I got it working today! Talk about overcoming procrastination!

2013:
This was the first Mother's Day where JK totally forgot about it in the morning. He slept in till 8:30. I just thought he might've had everything under control and told kids what to do. I didn't think of it much. but I didn't hear much activity in kitchen either. Later, I was showing JK the photos (not even realizing that he had forgotten about about) Kalpu and Pinal sent me  about what their kids made for breakfast for them. without saying any word, he rushed downstairs. Later, he told me that he totally forgot about it till I was showing him the photos! When he went to wake up kids, they were already in the kitchen almost done making breakfast! Neil shredded the potatoes and made fresh hash browns, scrambled eggs and together, they made breakfast quesadilla with hash browns, eggs, refried beans and salsa.

In the evening, we went to Kalpu's home, where kids made pizza rolls and cheesy garlic bread. All from scratch, without any help from adults! Avni and Arnav teamed up to make dough for pizza rolls and Neil and Anuj teamed up to make dough for cheesy breads. Both items turned out perfect!!! This was the first time kids made the dough on their own.
