mothers day...

this morning I awoke and my guys brought me to my desk which was now filled with notes and cards and spelling tests...oh my...

Anyhow, here is the note from Aleks

It is noteworthy that he felt the need to sign his last name as well as his first! But most special was his sentiment about his little brother. yes, I cried when I read it! He also presented me with a bracelet, a spelling test that he aced, and an award from school that he kept secret for respecting others and acting responsibly.

It does not get much better than this, unless of course you also have a 5 yr old son! Luke presented me with a card he made and his teacher helped him assemble.

I am not sure if I am more thrilled that he thinks I am 14 or that he'd spend his last dime on a chair for me...doesn't matter, the best part of the day was Luke tidying up the bedrooms for me, and I did not even ask him, 5 year olds are just so stinkin awesome.

Then there was the baby...well he gifted me at church with his wonderful 2.5 yr old attitude. Oh my it was one of our most challenging appearances ever. I will leave it as flying books, screaming, and the ever so wise 9 yr old behind us remarking how violent he was...ahhh the joys of kids in church. Now I would not classify the baby as violent, but I suppose from this kid's veiw, I guess you could make that assumption. At the end of the day, he is 2, and he won't be 2 forever....
