The Best Mother's Day Ever !

First I want to say Happy Mother's Day, to all the Mom's out there! I have been blessed with a wonderful Mother, Grandmothers, Aunts, Mother-in-law, Sisters and friends that have been such great examples to me. Today at church one sister said that growing up she didn't want to be like her mother...and now she hopes to be just like her, then another sister said she has always wanted to be just like her mother. I guess I am in the middle somewhere. I swore I would never threaten the "Gobble Monster" would eat my childrens toys if they didn't pick up...well this threat has been used more than once. I never thought I would make MY children go to bed if the sun is up...well 7:30 comes BEFORE sunset now! Being forced into "slave labor" at our Grandparents garden and around the house, I swore I would just let my kids play and enjoy life and I would do it all... I WISH I was Superwomen and could do it all, but my kids are learning the joys of chores and helping the family (I hope) ;) I guess I DO want to be like my Mom, and only hope to grow-up to be just like her. My Mom IS Superwomen and I only hope I can be half the woman she is, I guess she gets it from my amazing Grandma. WOW, I have quite a legacy to live up to!!!
This Mothers Day started a little early for me this year. The boys preschool had a Fancy Nancy Tea Party (thanks to Allison I knew what this was) and I got to go with Jordan on Thursday and with Parker on Friday. They did a cute little program, and presented us with a cute questionaire they filled out about us, and gave us a beautiful crown and flowers that they had made. After that, the children served us treats and lemonade. Jordan was especially sweet and serious about his serving duties. I just love him so much, I would not get through the day without his loves and kisses. The other day he said, "Mom, I'm worried about you being sick everyday...I hope baby gets big and stops making you sick", he said this after I was freting over him and his allergies. Jordan's allergies were really bad this day, and his eye is almost swollen shut...poor thing, I can't wait to get his tonsils and adnoids out so he can breath and feel better. Here are the pictures from Jordan's Tea Party.
