This morning Michael woke me up asking for cream for his poison ivy {yes, it's been an interesting week in this house} and breakfast. I asked him what today was and he said Sunday, then remembered it was Mother's Day and ran to get my gifts he made at school and was hiding since Friday. He made me close my eyes while he got them out of the cabinet and then announced I could open them. He was so excited! He made me a butterfly magnet, a card, drew a picture with a description of me & had a recipe book from his class. I cried. I'm a sap.Lydia was upset that she didn't have anything for me so I gave her paper & crayons and she drew me a little picture. From the arguments & back talking I don't think they fully understand the concept of Mother's Day. Though aside from hand made gifts at school, it's pretty much like any other weekend. And that's okay, today is all about spending time with my kids, the people in my life that make this day special for me.
Happy Mother's Day to all of the mom's out there! Special hugs sent to those who are missing their moms or children on this day.
