Over the past seven years Mother's Day has found a special place in my heart right up there with Christmas. It's having the best job in the world and then receiving a bonus just when you thought it was already unbeatable. Oh, all that precious stuff my daughter brought home from school for me for Mother's Day! She was just beaming with pride and so excited to give it to me. I could tell she worked so hard on these priceless things. They are worth more than all the gold in the world to me.
Mrs. Crumrin told me that the kids planed these plants from seeds right before Earth Day and then she bought a larger flower to plant along side them for Mother's Day. However, Evangeline's pot was the first to sprout out of her whole class and she was so excited about the sprouts she refused the flower. She was afraid the flower would harm her little sprouts.
We attended the annual Mother/Daughter Banquet at church with the cousins, Kristen, Ammie and Grandma. It was extra special this year because Evangeline had a few little parts in the program. She recited a poem and had a part in a song.
On the actual morning of Mother's Day I awoke to yet another bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and coffee from my sweet husband. (We Hutsons really like our BE&C biscuits!) I had cards from Kyle, Evangeline and Jed. They also surprised me with the prettiest turquois earrings, which Evangeline picked out herself. We went to church. It was just a great morning.
Kyle had Jed dressed in the perfect outfit. It was a nice touch.
Little Jed started clapping his hands for the first time on May 3rd. He also kicked off Mother's Day by crawling for the first time on Saturday, May 7th.
It's become a tradition that we have a picnic at Lincoln Trail on Mother's Day. It was too cold and wet for picnicking this time, but we did have a picnic at Ammie's house before heading over to Lincoln Trail to kayak in my mom's boats. The weather turned out to be beautiful and shaped up to be the perfect day.
Yep. Being a mom's the best.
