Mother’s Day School Parties
Today there were Mother’s Day parties at both kids’ schools, so I stepped out from work twice to attend them. Brian’s class presented a really cute program, complete with poems and songs, and Brian delivered his lines beautifully. Brian gave me a set of lovely gifts that he’d made himself, and I really loved the picture + bio he made for me! My favorite bit was his answer to “The hardest part about being a mom would be”: “Wrcking at Red Hat all...

Kendall was looking quite festive for her classroom’s Valentine party today! I was able to join her for the afternoon gathering. She loved those cupcakes with the heart sprinkles, and sitting with her best friend Canady! We came home a little early and worked on a fun craft project–felt Valentine heart faces! Kendall really impressed me with her fine motor skills–she could totally use a yarn needle to sew the hearts together without any help! We made some cute faces and...
