Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! I hope you were able to celebrate your mom and/or be celebrated! C.J. gave me a precious written quilt with thank yous for things I do for him. It had everything from making him a baby blanket to holding his hand at the dentist. It was especially meaningful, because I know how he struggles to write these ideas! Getting him to write a teacher appreciation card was like pulling teeth, and he adores his teacher! So a quilt with NINE thank yous... wow! Brendan invited me to school for a morning and we had lots of mother/son time. He sang songs about mom, served me muffins and juice, made a bracelet, read books about mothers with me, and planted a flower in a hand painted flowerpot. I thought would be it, but he made me a card to open this morning as well! It continued the flower theme and said that his love for me grows and grows. Aww. Abbie is learning. She made a cute flower for me at school, but she still claims that it is "her" flower.

I was lucky enough to get to spend part of the day with my mom today!
