Mother's Day

I have to say that I LOVE Mother's Day! I love, love, love the handmade gifts! This year I was a little overwhelmed making sure my 8 kids at school had something for their mothers that I didn't get anything for my three (sorry)! We had a great breakfast and then attended church.  We spent time with Bryan & Kristall, then I went and got a pedicure with two of my friends. We had our neighbors over for dinner and playing! It was a great balance of a day!

SCHUYLER

Schuyler (and Curtis) have been taking a few painting lessons with our neighbor.  For Mother's day she painted me this beautiful canvas painting of an orchid!  I wish I had a picture of the actual orchid, it looks just like this!  She also gave me a few "home" made cards and some cute flower pens she made in Brownie Scouts.  She didn't really bring anything home from school!?  Do they get a certain age and stop making stuff?  There was a paper from school which would have made my day all in itself.  It said:

Dear Mom, I love you because.... You help me clean my room.  Your eyes sparkle! 

You always look so pretty!  And sometimes you make me lunch! 

I love you Mom!  Happy Mother's Day!  Love, Schuyler

GRAYDON

His card just cracked me up!!  He is so funny!  The front of the card had a beautiful poem and the inside had this hand print butterfly and a quote from Graydon.  In case you can't read it - it says, "Happy Halloween!"  I loved it so much!

MORGAN

She had also made a few "home" made cards, a laminated colored bookmark, and this below card sent home from school.  One card simply said, "I hop you hav a Hape Mothrs Day Mom, love Morgan"  I loved it so much because she did it and it was colored and had bubble letters!
