I am a little behind on blogging but I did want to share that I had a special mother's day weekend. On Friday, Dane's school had a special mom's day. We made a picture frame, played some games and then shared a special snack that the kids made for us. They also did a little program for us, sang some songs and then gave us our mother's day gifts.
And the inside of the card he made "I love my mommy because...cuz her let's me drive tractors. Sometimes her a little bit busy. She lets me go outside on the playground set and play John Deere tractors outside."
This card has been a major source of parent guilt since I received it last Friday. My translation of this card is basically that I am often too busy to play with Dane and so I shuffle him outside to play so he is out of my hair. I am making a focussed effort to stop "doing". There is always stuff to do - dishes, cleaning, picking up, laundry...the list goes on and on. But I never want my kids to think I am too busy for them.
On Sunday, I woke up to breakfast in bed with 2 little monkeys crawling all around me asking for bite after bite. I shared. And I also got a gorgeous bouquet and didn't have to cook all day long!
