Moms and Muffins

So you probably know by now that we adore our kids' teachers. All three of our boys in school have the best of the best as far as I am concerned. The first grade teachers at our school put together a program for the kids called "Moms and Muffins." It was the Friday before Mother's Day and each of the moms were invited to come to a program put on by her son or daughter (Palmer chose to wear his Kindergarten t-shirt, since he had worn his 1st grade one the day before).

The kids did some seriously great dancing that one of the teachers had choreographed. I just sat and laughed with delight through the whole thing. It was A.DOR.ABLE. Seriously so cute to see all these kids dancing their little hearts out.
I had no idea that Palmer had such good moves! I wished that I have video taped it...oh well I have lots of great pictures.

Then they sang some way cute songs and had all of the mothers doe eyed over their children. It was perfect and wonderful and in heaven I am going to watch it again (I figured we get to do that in heaven, we can watch our life over again, especially the good parts).
I sure love this wonderful boy. He has decided that it is okay to hug and kiss me in front of his friends. I don't know why the switch, but I will take it while I can get it because I know it won't last much longer.
My mom and niece Savanna were there too, right across from us. It was fun to have his grandma there.
Palmer made this great place mat for our little snack after the program. I have used it a lot since.
Then we got to do a scrapbook page together. Palmer took charge of that one.
Palmer filled out a sheet on my likes and dislikes. He is pretty aware as they were all pretty spot on. He wrote that I am "thirdy three" years old (some of those moms were being speculated to be in their 50s by their children), my favorite food is "seafood" which is definitely one of my favorites, my favorite thing to do is cook, my least favorite thing to do is "go to McDonalds." I think I must complain to loudly whenever we eat there for dinner, which is rarely. Palmer wrote that "she helps me when she does my homework". I swear I don't do his homework for him :) and he likes it best when I help him with his homework.
This was our scrapbook page. We both a section to write how we felt about the day and each other. We also had really yummy chocolate chip muffins that his teacher made for us. I tried to get Palmer to give me his, but he said no :)
Then Palmer took me back to his classroom to give me his Mother's Day present that he made for me.
He opened it himself :)
Isn't this cute!? Palmer was so proud of it. I LOVE that his teacher has taught them to do pottery this year. We have some really wonderful things that he has made. This cute little hand soap dish has changed locations about a million times in our house. You never know where it will turn up next. I love it. This was seriously a day that I will never forget. What wonderful teachers to provide such a great memory.
