Mother's Tea

I've come to the conclusion that I prefer Mother's Day to my birthday.  What's not to love...all the encouragement and love as a birthday minus the focus on how much older I'm getting :)

I'm just kidding...kinda :)

Wednesday, C's grade hosted a Mother's Tea.  It was a really, really sweet time!

Each child decorated a butterfly, made a corsage, and read their "report" about how his/her mom reminded him of a Proverbs 31 mom.  What's not to love!?!

We were each asked to bring our own tea cup.  They provided the tea.  I selected iced, sweet tea...I know that's probably a major Tea Party faux pas! :)

Here are some close up pictures of his "report"...that sounds so cold...there's gotta be something better to call it :)

Of course, the words make my heart melt :)  But what is really so meaningful is that my child really does. not. like. to. write!  When we do homework he will spend 5 minutes contemplating ways to answer the question in the fewest possible words.  So, this...this is BIG stuff :)

The butterfly ornament he made...

And my corsage...

Mother's Day really IS better than my birthday :)
