When is Mother's Day anyway??
This pictures in the post beneath this one were taken on the American Mother's Day a week ago. But what's interesting is that Poland has a different Mother's Day. We always laugh about how Vicki gets to celebrate twice...extra gifts, two special meals, etc. Well the family got all geared up again yesterday to celebrate the Polish date...I bought my wife flowers, the kids gave her some gifts, Vicki made an incredible cheesecake. Everyone showed their appreciation to mom.
So, we head out as usual to church yesterday morning. We get there and the service starts...we sing...we talk...there is NO talk whatsoever about mothers! I'm thinking that maybe Mateo is forgetting something. Did he possibly forget to call his mom?? NO! It's us that got the date wrong!!
So, as it turns out, Vicki will actually get to celebrate three Mother's Days this year: the American date, our own special family date, and the Polish date. Fun huh? And us dads get one measly date a year. Can you say inequality???
