Mothers Day and Madame Tussauds


Mother's day is early here. I'm still not used to it.  March just doesn't seem like a good time to do it in my opinion. I like the the month of May for "my day".  It's usually sunnier, warmer, and a good distance away from Christmas and my kids birthday. But oh well, I'm in the UK and I will celebrate in March! 

Last year, it was sunny and warm. So lovely that we were able to spend the day outside at the races in Ascot.  This year was cold and rainy. Our agenda was such that it didn't matter.  Breakfast in bed presented by all my men is perfect on any day. 




OJ, coffee, bagel, cantaloupe, strawberry yoghurt and some chocolate pirate biscuits.
Notice the spoon :)


Madame Tussauds was our destination for the day. It has been on our list for awhile so off we go on the train!




I've never been to any of the Madame Tussauds. I have to say some of them looked like the real deal and some missed the mark. Nevertheless, it was the closest I'll get to any of these people!




This one is for you John Bowers.






Yippie kay yay ....


"Mom, mom, mom, mom, look at his face!"


Breakfast at Tiffany's.  She looked perfectly real.


So did Shrek.



Henry looked under his robe to make sure he had underwear on. 


BOLT!



Prince Harry was eerily real looking.  Oliver posing his "I mean business" stance.



I felt a little under dressed.


The two Henry's. 



In case you are wondering, the woman between the Queen and Kate is not a new addition to the Royal family. We just couldn't get a picture without real people in it.




Nana!!!




Henry also looked under Amy Winehouse's dress to check for underwear.  I'm not even sure what the answer was. We were laughing too hard to care.  
And no, he didn't check Brittany's. 





Kickin' it in the Oval office.



Mark doing his best Winston Churchill. Impressive.


The kids weren't excited about the superhero instalment at all.  They also had a 4D superhero film. Perfect! Tussauds is genius to put this at the end so that the kids have to go through all of the "boring people" first.






That folks was my Mother's Day. It was a fun, comedy filled day. Mark, Oliver and Henry, thank you for all of my beautiful cards, gifts and breakfast. I'm especially thankful that I get to spend each day with all of you. I'm proud and blessed to be part of this family of four!
