Mother's Tea

Mill Plain United Methodist Preschool does a Mother's Tea Party every year for Mother's Day. I feel like I've been going to this party for my entire adult life because I have had kids in this school for so long -- and I have another 2 years to come with Tori. It's always very nice and I always have a good time... and they are all exactly the same. The same snacks, the same tea/punch/coffee, the same songs, the same gifts and cards. I love it. Nicole looked so pretty. Originally, she wanted to match. When I informed her that I was going to wear jeans, she decided that maybe we should just wear matching colors. :-) She's not a huge fan of jeans. So we settled on black, white, and pink.

Nicole seems to think that today is actually Mother's Day. Did I tell her that it's not until Sunday? Nope. She brought me peanut butter toast in bed while singing her own made-up Mother's Day song. Then she let me curl her hair, she did all her chores with no complaints, and she has been expressing her love for me all day long. I wish every day was Mother's Day! We decided that we might as well celebrate today since I'll be on a tropical island for the real Mother's Day. Darn. :-)
