Mother's Day Tea Party

Diego brought me an invitation a few days ago for a Mother's Day Tea Party at his school today. And of course I told him I would be there. He's been so excited all week and kept tight lipped about what he had made me and what was going to go on.

So I left the girls with Jr and I went to his school. Man did his face light up when he saw me. I was immediately invited to his desk. Once most Moms had arrived our kids served us Tea and Cookies. But truth be told... I got pink lemonade instead. Hey it was an option... and Diego picked it out. He said I'd like lemonade better. And I got a chocolate chip cookie. Good stuff.


After eating our little treats... he presented me with my gifts.

I got a poem. Titled "My Mommy". They laminated them and those were our place mats.


If you can't make it out (he has bad handwriting!) it says:

My Mom is a byoodfool Mom
Osom
sweeT
Happy
rEsponsible
Respectful

Isn't that adorable? So what if "Awesome" is spelled wrong... I am OSOM!

But that wasn't it... they also had a choice to make their Mom's bath salts or plant them flowers. So I also got a flower in a pot that he painted for me. I love it so much. I am gonna hope and pray I can keep it alive. I sure don't have a green thumb... not at all. But I will try! He planted it all himself and grew it. It's so special.


And last but not least they performed some songs for us along with their 4th grade buddies. It was cute.





And then it was time to go home. I love being able to go to these special things. The excitement in his face to do everything for me makes my heart swell up. How just taking time out of my day for him can make him so happy.

I looked around the room and lots of Moms looked extremely bored and annoyed. Most of them playing on their cell phones. Some actually walking out of the room to make or take calls. It was kinda sad. Is it really so much to take 45 minutes out of your day for your child? I mean they already went through the trouble to be there. The Mom across from us kept telling her boy "I think I am going to leave now..." And he'd beg her to stay. And she would say, "Your Dad is waiting for me." And she did this like 3 times before actually bailing out early. Sad really. All I can say is I was so proud to be there. Oh and when Diego was presenting me with my flower and stuff I heard her behind me tell her son, "Why didn't you paint me a pot for flowers instead of making me bath salts... what I am I supposed to do with these?" I couldn't believe it. I was so irritated. Like really really irritated.

But for me, it was a great afternoon. Thanks my Diego! I love you.
