Muffins with Mom

Blake has been preparing for a special Mother's Day suprise for weeks.  There have been secrets between him and his Dad about notes from school, he has been sneaking around the house, and even dug out a special red tie to wear to school today for the special event!  I have been looking forward to going, but didn't realize that he was going to pamper me for the whole day....he asked me to, not wake up and have my morning protein shake,  because he was going to make me breakfast so that I wouldn't have to work or cook at all today!  Awww.  I heard him in the kitchen around 6am, and when I walked out of my bedroom door, there he stood with toaster waffles drizzled with syrup.  He led me in to sit down and handed me the remote so I could watch the news while I ate...awww.  For him to give up the remote is BIG! lol!  He just kept smiling at me...I sure love this little guy!

I could see Blake waiting at the classroom door as I walked in.  He ran up and hugged me, then lead me in.  He pulled out my chair and tied a handmade corsage onto my wrist...the perfect gentleman.  He offered me water or punch and just kept on smiling. 

He offered me a gift that was specially wrapped...it was a personally crafted tea cup...I poured my water into it and drank from it!  I love it!

Then, his teacher had arranged a guessing game to play.  The kids had drawn portraits of their Moms and had written facts on the back about us!  Mrs. Hakenewerth read the facts as we listened and tried to guess which Mom it was about!  It was the cutest game ever and it made me cry to hear some of the facts about their Moms...some were sweet, some were silly, and some were downright hilarious!  I didn't guess mine right, but I loved reading the facts he wrote about me...

Mrs. Hakenewerth has been the best teacher ever, Blake and I are both
going to miss her so much!

After the game, his teacher put a book on the projector and read to us.  The book was "Love You Forever"  I was crying so hard, of course I was getting embarassed and Blake just hugged me and smiled, he knew that I would cry... he kept making trips back to the beverage table to get me napkins for my eyes. 

Watch this 5 minute video book and you'll see why I couldn't stop crying...

After we cried our eyes out, we all headed to the gym to watch a performance by all of the 2nd graders...they sang to us, it was adorable. Progress South Elementary really went all out to make sure us Mom's are appreciated...I hope they know how appreciated they are...I love Blake's school.  The entire day has been wonderful, I must say, this is one of the very best days of my life....I LOVE being a Mom!
