Mother's Day

It was a wonderful Mother's Day for me this year. Joe and the kids got me a much needed pedicure and Joe gave me several hours to myself. With those hours I ventured out to IKEA. I love that store. I think I could go there everyday (okay that's a bit much, but I do like it). However, my favorite gift was something that Vince did at preschool for me. He went to a pottery coloring store and made me a flower vase. He painted it green, his favorite color. Also, with the help of his teachers he made a note about me. It reads as follows (his answers in bold):

My Mom
By
Vince
My Mom's Name is Jennifer.
She is 18 years old. (don't I wish) Her favorite foods are burgers and cake. She likes to drink beer. Her favorite color is yellow and her favorite flower is a pink one. Her hobbies are playing with me and going shopping.
She is special to me because she plays games with me.
If I could give her anything in the world it would be a huge plane and a rocket ship because she would like to fly.
Happy Mother's Day!
I laughed so hard when I read it. I cried too. The funny thing is, I have had maybe a hand full of beers in two years, not such a great thing to share with a religious preschool. Oh well! And I hardly ever eat burgers or cake. It is so funny what children will say about their parents. I thought it was so cute and I wanted to share.
