Thanks!

    All I want is for DH to clean, let me sleep in and make food.

    Edit:: just re-read it. Lol. Sorry. I'm sending her a card and a gift card. We're 1200 miles away this year.

    I got the grandmothers a St. Anne pendant (patron saint of grandmothers)... but other than that, I'm drawing a blank!  I'd LOVE to have DS make them something- but I have no idea what!!

    Pretty much...also I was toying with the idea of going to the movies by myself.  LOL  I still haven't seen the Hunger Games and DH is not a movie person.

    I am hosting my side of our family for brunch. My mom, sister and grandma will all be there. All the mom's will get some sort of plant at brunch and I always take my mom for a pedicure after Mother's Day. DS is making hand-print cards for all his Grandmas and his Godmother.

    DH and I sent our moms edible arrangements.  DD does not send/make mother's day gifts for the grandparents.  We do send them something special for grandparent's day.

    I bought a bunch of clay pots and used some paint to put my daughter's footprints on them. I added some flowers, the year and her name. I sprayed them with a glaze that needs to dry for 24 hours then I will put some potted plants in them. I think it came out to $10 a person.... Not bad!

    We got super lucky and we're ALL celebrating together this year and going out to brunch so none of us have to do anything lol (by all of us I mean DH/me/DD, my mom, DH's parents/sister, my brother/SIL and SIL's parents).  

    I'm getting my mom and MIL gift cards from HomeGoods and Christmas Tree Shops (they both love these stores), and I've been keeping my eye out for some kind of small thing to give from DD (my mom loves chachkis- so a little something that says grandma on it and I'm not sure for DH's mom- she's very particular with things she places around the house so I don't want to get her anything she doesn't want to put out).

     I'm going to help DD color mother's day cards for both and I might get all the moms a small flower arrangement (even SIL's mom).  DH will probably veto the flowers LOL (the brunch is 90 minutes away, so by the time we all get down there and back up, they'll probably be withered)

    The boys are making handprint garden stones for the grandmas.

    I am making rice krispie treat bouquets for both our moms (got a cute small flower pot and floral foam, will make treats on sticks in the shapes of flowers outlined with chocolate).

    I have no idea if DH will get anything else for his mom...I'm leaving that up to him...maybe a hanging flower basket or something?

    For my mom, I'm making her some of the iced sugar cookies that she loves.

    My mom lives several states away so I sent her something from Harry & David and then mailed her a card from the boys.

    Edit:  One year the boys made a garden stepping stone for her which she LOVED.  Only down side was it cost me a fortune to ship it!

    I did handprints and footprints on scrapbook paper for both my Mom and MIL.  We will probably get both hanging baskets of flowers.

    My mom is refusing to let us buy anything for her.  So, a couple of my siblings and I are going to my parents house on Saturday afternoon to do her weeding.  She had knee surgery last month and is unable to do it herself.  I offered to bring/take her out to lunch as well.

    I did get her a card and I'm going to have Ben draw her a picture.
