Mother's Day Recap

I did not get breakfast in bed, which is a blessing in so many ways. I did, however, get greeted by two excited kids while I was still in bed. On Saturday, Corwin and Clara insisted that I needed flowers. They each got me a bunch of tulips - red from Corwin, pink from Clara "because those are the colours for love". Awwww! Then on the actual day, both of them came bearing an armful of gifts. They each got me something for the garden - a lantern from Corwin and a cute bee stake with bouncy wings from Clara. But the best gifts were the creations they made at school.

First of all, they each made flowers with pipe cleaner stems, and petals that folded out. Something was written on each petal.
On Corwin's: I love you, You are the best, You are a good mom, I love your hugs, You are a good cook, and You are a Sens fan (okay, that last one was a big dose of wishful thinking on his part!!)
On Clara's: I love you, You're the best, You are so pretty, You are as sweet as sugar, You are cool, You're the best in the world.

Then there were a couple of cards that were made at school, and a scroll which contained a beautiful (tear-inducing) poem called "A Child's Angel". Also in the scroll was a fill in the blanks paper entitled My Mother. This was very, very funny. Here are their answers (and one real answer, too!)
