Mothers Day 2010

Mothers day is a day filled with hugs and loves from all your children. A day when they each make you their special gifts. I revived a painted flower pot from one. Lets hope I remember to water it and not let it die. I always have a tough time with that. If it does die I think I will fill it with green plant foam spray painted black, and fill it with silk flowers. I received a picture drawn Brandon in a pop cycle stick frame. He had glued paper harts to the frame. but then he deiced that they covered to much of his picture so he ripped them off before given them to me. David made a heart picture out of string sewn on paper. Alex and Emily wrote me poems that made me laugh. I will share them with you.

MOM ~ by Emily
My mom is spectacular!
She is as beautiful as a rose,
Loving as a cat
and as busy as a bee.
Though sometimes I make her grumpy like a bear.
She is as brilliant as Enstien,
She is as kind as a kitten,
and a humble as a bee.

MY MOM ~ BY ALEX
You're as sweet as chocolate,
You're as kind as a rose,
You're as loving as a chocolate cake,
You're as pretty as a diamond,
You're as beautiful as a sunset,
You're as brave as a knight,
You're as fun as going on vacation,
You're as creative as an artist,
You're as extraordinary space,
You're as caring as a new baby,
You're as patient as a piece of paper,
You're as neat as a brand new house.

I have to say it was a wonderful day. Then the kids got together and made dinner. Everyone got to help cooking something Even if there part was "cooking peaches by opening the bottle and putting them on the table. The best part of being a Mom is the way your children love you and those little moments together. I love being a mom, it gets crazy with 8 kids but oh so worth it. We have had a great weekend working in the yard and getting everything ready for summer. Summer will quickly be here. We have 17 Days left of school.
