Mother's Day

I wanted to share a few of my Mother's Day gifts!!  I didn't personally "make" anything, but I was a lucky mom & received a bunch of cute stuff!!! :)

The most labor-intensive gift (I don't have "favorites" ;), has to be from my 3rd grader!!  EACH kid got a 13" tile, wrote a long poem on it in Sharpie, painted a large flower on it, attached a photo of themselves (that the teacher took), and then Mod Podged it!!!  THEN. . . they made a card (with another photo attached), and decorated their own wrapping paper!!!!  So cute!!!

The poem says:  (The teacher told them the lines with the parts of the flower, but they created the lines that tells what each part does!!!  LOVE it!!!  ;)

"Mom, you are like a sunflower - you are like the roots
you feed me nutrients and water.  You keep me healthy.
You are like the stem,
you provide strength and you are my backbone
You taught me to walk tall.
You provide shade for me like the leaves.
You are like a shadow standing over me.
Most of all mom, you are like a yellow bright sunflower.
Mom - you are a beautiful sunflower.

The card says:
Love you lots!
With all my heart.
Love your seed,
Noah


Talk about a tear-jerker!!!!  Now, I know this wasn't really a sappy poem, but considering it came from my "often difficult" child ;) ;) - - it really got to me!!!

I also got a vase of super cute, colorful tissue paper flowers, made by my oldest at Activity Days!!

These came with a little sample of hand/foot scrub that they made!!  So fun!!!  :)







This is the adorable card that my kindergartener made:

"This little flower is special, you see, Because it was made from a part of me.  My painted thumb made each flower part  To show I love you with all my hart!  Happy Mother's Day!"

This is his cute drawing inside!!  :)






I serve in the Primary at Church, and we gave the kids each a bag of M&M's to give to their moms, with this cute little attachment:

 "M&M - - Mom & Me moment" -
The idea is for the kids to eat the candy with Mom & for each color that they pick, they ask the question on the card!!  So cute!!  I played it with one of my kids & it was fun to hear the responses!!  :)
