The Friday before Mother's Day, Jenevive's class had a ice cream social for all of the moms. We all were warned ahead of time and was told where the Kleenex was. The kids walked in the classroom, got into their lines and each took a turn saying a couple of words why they loved us. Some of the kids said things like I love my mom because she takes care of me when I am sick, I love my mom because she feeds me, I love my mom because she is nice. Jen said I love my mom because she is beautiful and honest. Now, I know every child thinks their mom is beautiful, and it was very sweet of her to say, but I was very proud to hear her say honest. We have taught our kids that the one thing we do not allow is lying. We have told them over and over your word is everything.

After their speeches, we sat at our child's desk and were given a bunch of little gifts. Jen gave me a pouch of Hersey kisses with a poem attached (which she instantly gobbled up) a card with a very sweet message, a hand print place mat and a cup with some artwork on it. As if that wasn't enough, we all were treated to a make you own ice cream sundae bar. This Mother's Day party was one of the best Mother's day present ever.
