Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there but especially our very own Mimi, MeMaw and Great Nanny!

Connor's class had Muffins with Mom on Thursday and it was SO sweet and well planned.  When the moms first arrived, each child greeted and escorted their mom into the classroom.  There was a buffet of fruit, muffins, etc and the child prepared a plate for each mom then led us to our seat.  On the wall, there were portraits of each mom, painted by the children.  The moms had to guess who all the moms were, which was quite comical.  You could definitely tell which were the boys moms and which paintings were the girls!  I think this is the spittin image of me!!

  Mrs. Grant then read these "All About Moms" to see if we could guess which mom it was.  I knew it was me when the answer to "I like her to cook" was "shrimp and fish!"  That's Connor's favorite food!! 

 

 Then the kids lined up in front of the class and Mrs. Grant read the book, "Love you Forever" and when she got to the part where the Mommy sang, the kids sang the words.  It was really sweet!

I was then presented with a lovely crown (which I wore all day Mother's Day!!) and a plate that Connor drew on.  He said "I painted something I love...my mom and drew hearts around her."

He was SO excited all week about their Mother's Day surprise and when we left school, he said, "Mommy I had so much fun with you today!"

And here is the hand print flower pot that Reid made me:

I say it all the time but I am so wonderfully blessed and thankful to be able to stay home with my boys.  Yes there are VERY difficult days but I could not imagine not spending all day every day with them.  When I have those difficult days, I will try to remember these words:
