Harry modeled the latest in prep fashions yesterday at their Mother's Day celebration. Too sweet, being serenaded by 50ish 5-6 year olds. The videos are too long and I don't have permission from the other moms, but trust me, it was su-weeeet!
Jack has been in a flower-giving mode, and I wasn't able to find any pix from yesterday's Mother's Day celebration at school that didn't include his other favorite girls, so I'm recycling this one from April....
Their classes made all sorts of sweet gifts for moms and had a morning filled with delicious treats and thoughtful kids....the only time it's ever sad is when I can't clone myself and share every moment with each of them. Luckily, they are really good at sharing.
Here are Harry's treasures - can you believe how big their handprints are now? I remember having to do a bunch of them to fill space for Dean's first Father's Day gift :sniff:...and if this portrait doesn't keep me at the gym, IDK what will - he's going from stick figures to more detailed drawings, but still...nothing like a rectangle body to make you question having seconds! His teacher appologized for encouraging him to add the hair, but I guess it will make a cute memory - My Mom, The Bearded Rectangle Lady ;-)
If you click on the picture, it's more legible, but basically he said it makes me smile when he takes a picture and says cheese. I had to laugh about the spaghetti and sandwiches - not, but the butterfly in a jar gift idea made my heart squeeze because he knows how much I love butterflies and really thought about what would make me smile. Love him!
Here are Jack's gifts - they are definitely going to have to use shorter poems or longer paper next time ;-) Jack said he makes me smile when he gives me hugs and kisses, he loves, me I am the best, and he likes to play with me :wub: He got the pizza right, took a more literal approach to the picture than Harry's descriptors, and thought I'd just LOVE a big Lego police set (interestingly, exactly what he would love!)
And if all the sweet words and pix weren't enough, they made these flower pots and grew these lovely plants.
All in all, it was a great day - big thanx to their teachers for giving us moms such sweet memories! I can't think of anyone else I'd rather share my kiddies with - you ladies truly ROCK!
Happy Mother's Day Weekend to everyone - hope your times are filled with sweet memories of you own moms and new adventures!
Meatloaf's Paradise By The Dashboard Light
They practiced for their spelling tests today....with their six words of the week (Jack corrected that C when he reread them this morning),
and their word study words. Harry had SC, SN, and SW words while Jack's class worked on long and short vowel sounds. His teacher commented on how improved his writing is - the boy likes to follow a plan :-)
It was a busy week, but a good one. I started volunteering at the local library, and went on a tour of the local food bank and community services, hoping to get involved in doing some good. A friend and I are coaching the Destination Imagination team, which starts in a couple of months. The weekend is going to be a wild one!
