Muffins with Mom

Today was the annual Muffins with Mom at Allen's preschool.  He was so excited about this morning - he talked about it for days and then all morning. After we dropped Drew at school he said "NOW can we go have muffins?!" It is a sweet event and the kids do enjoy having their moms there for some special time. Allen was a bit confused though...there was only one type of muffin but multiple donuts and even cinnamon rolls. He said "We already had Donuts with Dad...this is supposed to be Muffins with Mom! Why aren't there more muffins?!" So he refused to eat anything but the muffin. Quite cute, actually. After we shared our breakfast, we went to his room where he presented me with my Mother's Day gifts - some coffee spoons he had dipped in chocolate and a beautiful, hand painted flower pot with a pretty purple flower. He was so proud to tell me about how he painted the pot, picked out the flower, put the dirt in all by himself and even watered it. He was really beside himself with pride! I loved it. No better present than something made by sweet, loving little hands!!

Our attempt at a self-portrait...

The only thing better than receiving this?

Is having it presented like this!!

Oh he was so proud of his flower!

Allen might be our photographer! He took a pretty good picture of me and my new flower!
