Woke up this morning
at 8:45...Tommy was still sleeping...
(thanks for that one Tommy!)
and
with Benjamin full of excitment
about the gift he made for me
at school...
and quite honestly,
I was excited
to see what it was...
I had seen
some really cute things
other mother's had gotten
from their children in the past...
most of them involving hand prints...
and I think I was hoping
for something with a handprint...
don't ask me why...
My gift from excited Mr. Benjamin
was
a handmade card,
a flower planted in a dixie cup...
and a potholder ~
wrapped in green tissue paper,
(I picked green
because green is your favorite color mom...)
and placed in a paper bag
painted with a heart.
The pot holder was painted
with rubber stamp imprints
of hearts, hands, and flowers. ...
The best part was his telling me
about how he made it,
which stamp he put on first
and how when he put the holes
in the bag
using the hole puncher
all the little paper circles
went flying
everywhere!
and we both laughed and laughed...
We went to church
and got big Starbucks Frappacino's
on the way home
I got Coffee
Ben got Strawberry Cream
and then went on a
Mother's Day Hike...
Bob was supposed to join us,
but he didn't feel good
so, it was me and my boys...
Pretty much,
just another day
like any other day,
full of Hugs and Kisses
and
I love you mom's...
except this one
started with handmade presents
and ended with
Graeters Ice Cream ~
Mocha Chocolate Chip
Coffee
and Double Chocolate Chip (Ben's request...)
YUM
Happy Mother's Day Mom...
I love you
~
