Mother's Day

This year, I was invited to attend a Mother's Day program at Gavin's school.  Let me just tell you...it was so sweet.  I cried.  They sang to us, danced for us, presented us with flowers and gifts, and then served us cookies and juice.  So stinking special.  I loved every minute of it!

The picture he drew me said that I'm special because I rub his back at night.  That really pulled at my heartstrings!  Sometimes, I feel like he's just stalling at night when he asks me to rub his back longer, but I always try to remind myself that one day he won't be asking me to rub his back before bed.  When I read that, I realized just how much he likes it, and I think of it every night now when I go into his room.

Mother's Day around here was nice.  The kids woke me up and Gavin had a gift bag for me.  After opening my new phone case, he realized that the flowers he had picked the day before and stuck in the bag had died, and he started crying.  I had to console him and tell him how sweet it was to even think of picking me flowers.  He is such a sweetheart.  

We went to Walmart and bought new flowers for our pots on the porch and came back to do some planting.  Then we headed out for some shopping, dinner at Mama Fu's and Yum Yos for dessert after naps.  I love any day I get to spend with my little family, but even more when Gavin's constantly telling me 'Happy Mother's Day' and that he loves me.

And because I love to do comparisons....here's the past 2 years!
