My Mother's Day haul this year!
Each of the kids came home from school with a Mother's Day gift for me, and I had to hold them off until Sunday as they were all so excited to show me what they had made. Staley gave me a handprint tile and card, Adelie painted a small birdhouse and made origami flowers, and Briggs gave me a class cookbook and an all-about-mom lapbook. Of course, I loved Briggs lapbook and all the sentiments he shared. The fact that he filled in the blank on 'I love my mom more than' with "legose" was a pretty big deal. He did write that 'My mom likes to wear' "a dres." Hmmm.... He noted that I hate to "do londry", I'm not very good at "dansing", and that I love him because he is "cyoot." He also noted that we like to "snugol."
All about me according to Briggs.
Very cyoot!!
I am so blessed. Although the noise and the mess and the arguing and the whining and the needs can sometimes drive me crazy, I wouldn't want to imagine my life any other way. My 3 made it a happy Mother's Day. Not because of the gifts they made for me, but because they are my favorite gifts. God has blessed me beyond measure and I couldn't be more thankful.
