One of my favorite things about Mother's Day is the things the kids do at school. No gift compares to the sweet things they make and the time they put into it just for me. I'll share a few things each one of them said about me.
Matthew: Gave me a card the says on the front"Nothing is stronger than a mother's love...(open) except maybe one of dad's farts!!! Happy Birthday..oops, wrong card. He crosses that out and writes Happy Mother's Day, Mom. He was so funny about getting the wrong card, but I loved it anyway.
Ashlee: Wrote a book about me. She says that I'm the best mother because of my cranberry chicken that I make(Marcia Heim's recipe)that I take her to school everyday to get an education, and that I help her find her karate belt! She had to describe why I was special..she wrote" My mom is very special because she works hard at everything, she supports me at karate, and she knows that I love her".
She also did a poem using the letters on Mother
M=making me happy
O=outstanding work you do
T=time we spend together
H=helping me
E=everlasting love
R=right here beside me
Isn't that the sweetest. She was very busy in her class.
Lauren; Wrote a sentence about me in a book all the kids did. Hers said" My Mom is an awesome, sweet, lovely, kind, and wonderful mom. She is a good cook. My favorite is chicken. I love my mom. Happy Mother's Day. She made a tile with a flower on it. It was so sweet.
Lyndsey: Wrote ten reasons why she loves me; 10. she reads me hard words 9. helps with homework 8. she makes me laugh by singing funny 7. she taught me how to bake cookies 6. I love to hear my mom sing at church 5. she finds time to take me to a friends house 4. she cares because she tells me she loves me 3. she's smart because she helps me with my homework 2. she works hard at taking care of me 1. she is the Best Mom Ever!!
I am so blessed to have such wonderful kids. When I feel like a terrible mother, I just look at what they have done for me and it makes me smile. They gave me this stuff and I bawled through it all. That thought that was funny!
I posted a page I did for the scrapbook with my new cricut machine. I LOVE that thing! It was my Mother's Day present from all the kids and Marvin too.
