Mom's Munch 2011

For FOUR years straight, I have had the wonderful pleasure of attending Mom's Munch! It is our preschool's celebration of Mother's Day. Chase has been looking forward to it for months! He could not wait for me to come to his school so that he could shower me with handmade gifts and serve me breakfast!We had a great time together. We are all starting to get a little sad about him graduating from preschool this year. We decided to put him in the Bridge program instead of kindergarten this past year, and it was a great decision! He could have gone to kindergarten before, but I KNOW he is ready, now!

His class consists of only 7 boys (no girls) and their precious teacher, Mrs. Zarazee. The boys have all grown this year, but one unique thing Mrs. Zarazee has given them is a unique awareness of surviving breast cancer! They all know what the little pink ribbons are, and most of them even enjoy wearing pink just to make her happy! I don't know how she will be able to let this group go!!
Mom's munch was a blast. I loved spending time with Chase and his friends, and I received a beautiful flower pot with some seeds to grow some flowers!

Mom's Munch

The preschool always has a mom's munch for Mother's Day. We get to go into the classroom, and the kids serve us brunch. It is so sweet. They made us several different things and even sang to us. It was a very special morning! I will really miss this about preschool.

Mother's Day

This is the best card I have ever gotten! Mary Frances made it for me at school. One of my favorite parts is just that it is in her writing and her way of sounding out words. So, I'll translate it below!

The Best Mother

Loves me even if I lose softball games.
Always packs my lunch box.
Gives me notes in my lunch box.
Lets me go to slumber parties. (That was actually a hint!)
Takes me to school.
Takes me to the movies.
Takes me to get my nails done.
Is zany and oh la la!!
Has a green thumb.
(She was quick to explain that this does not mean that I pick their boogers!)
Loves me all the time.
Loves me bigger than her arms!

This made me cry. It's the best gift I could have asked for on Mother's day!

Mother's Day Tea Parties

The week of Mother's Day was full of Mother's Day tea parties for me! It was so much fun! I love going to the parties because the kids answer questions about me - like I'm 25, and the thing I say all the time is "I love you". It actually makes me really nervous to see what they answer to the question "What Does your mom say all the time?" I'm always afraid they are going to say "Not right now" or "You're driving me nuts!!"! Thankfully, they usually say the sweet things that I want to stick with them!!
