Muffins with Mom and Mom's Regatta

Mom's Week!

Jackson and I left the house before 7am to make it to Muffins with Mom at his school.  While I appreciated his school trying to do something nice for all the mom's, truthfully, it was a failed bit.  First thing, it made all moms have to get up before 6am in order to get showered and ready for the day.  Ugh.  It also happened to be on the very same day as the Dallas Zoo field trip, thus nullifying any chance of going without a shower.  But wait, wasn't it so worth it to sit and eat breakfast with one child?  Ehhh--no so much!  In fact, we arrived at school, picked out one pastry (J's was the tiny mini-cini) and then proceeded to dine on the gym floor.  A few minutes after we sat down, my son saw some buddies of his across the room.  He got up and went to sit with them.  Neat.  Hence, no pictures of the first Muffins with Mom.

 

A few days later, Lila and I went to her school for the Mom's Regatta.  We built a sailboat, then decorated it and named it "Miss Lulu."



Then Lila gave me this adorable gift, called All About My Mom.  My favorites on this:  Mom's favorite food is "broccoli."  Now don't get me wrong, I do like some broccoli, especially when dipped in ranch, but my FAVORITE food?
My favorite thing to do with my Mom is "snuggle."  Sweet girl!
My Mom sometimes forgets "to go to the bus stop to get my brother."  Oh no! 
That only happened once and we were at home, so he just walked down the street to our house.  I sound like some delinquent parent, though! 

After that, the four classes sang three songs for us.  All were cute, but my favorite one was called "Happy Mother's Day," and was just precious.

After their short performance, we headed outside to see if Miss Lula would sink or sail.  She did great!  Must have been that expert boat building skills that I possess.  Either that, or the fact that it's the 6th sailboat I have made!  Maybe by the time Cami is old enough they will have a new event for us:)
