Mother's Day

Technically my Mother's Day celebration started on Thursday at Sydney's "Fantasy Festival". It is the end of the imagination unit at her preschool and the kids build a castle out of cardboard and make magic wands and crowns and are introduced as Fairy Princess or King Knight and come out and curtsey or bow and present their mother's with flowers. It is a sweet little "program." Then they get to eat cookies and drink punch. Sydney loved it and I got some cute yellow daisies, plus a neat art project that she made. A flower with her picture at the center and her hand prints as leaves. Then on Friday Zoe gave me a notebook that she decorated at school that has a note in it saying "Thanks for being my Mommy and I love you." She is getting so good at writing! I am a very proud Mama. Saturday, we got to webcam with a couple of our favorite people and afterwards I went to a new boutique opening in Moore, Oklahoma called Handmade with heART and consigned some of my artwork there. It was quite a thrilling day. Now it is Sunday, actually Mother's Day, and my plans include taking a day off from chores and spending it with my babies, calling my Mom, and maybe working on some new artwork. My house already looks like it has been both shaken and stirred so I will be earning my keep tomorrow, but right now its nice to just enjoy my family. I hope all the mothers out there are able to do the same.
