Although our Mother’s Day celebration was delayed by a day because my MIL’s auto broke down, the rewards were worth it!  Look at these special MOM gifts!

First, I received a gift that Grace had painted in her church Sacred Arts class, a flower wind chime: 

Then, the two youngest kids made me paper weights out of rocks in school:

Then, Blayre made me a very special pink cow Mother’s Day letter:

Folded Paper “Envelope”

Her precious message to me.

Finally, my favorite candy bar is a Snickers.  I purchased one for each our our four children to gift to me and challenged each of them to write me a poem that had to have rhyming words in it – especially a word that rhymed with Snickers.  This is what each of them came up with (from youngest to oldest):

I truly enjoyed this Mother’s Day challenge and the kids’ creativity and humor.  Although the kids will grow up, these poems will last my heart a lifetime.  I’m a lucky mom!

p.s.  A few months ago, two of the girls came down with head-colds.  When they did, they couldn’t pronounce their “M” letters – hence, I became known as BOB instead of MOM.
