Each year Casey was in preschool, his class hosted a Mother's Day tea. I don't really need the whole sit-down-and-have-your-three-year-old-serve-you-grape-juice-and-hope-they-don't-dump-it-on-your-work-clothes event or anything. But I liked the idea that the preschool did something. Marcie's class sent home gifts (which was thoughtful). Honestly, I would've preferred a show of sorts.
It doesn't really matter, of course.
And the school did host a Muffins with Mom morning. Here we are, enjoying our miniature muffins:
The sun was shining. Marcie's smile was brilliant. Really, what more can a mother ask for?
The next morning, Casey's school hosted Muffins with Mom, as well. The Dads' group actually did all the set up and presented moms with poems as we walked in. It was a bit overwhelming-- well over 500 people attended. Here I am with Casey at school later that morning:
But the best part wasn't the PTA program. It was Casey's class performance. The kids came out and sat us individually. At our place was a small muffin and some fruit. The kids made each of us a picture and a story about why they loved us. (In case you're wondering, I'm loved because I make cookies.) Then the 35 minute show began. And it was quite a performance. There are limits, you know, to how much video you can put up. So I've selected my favorite one (because Casey starred in it). He's been singing the song (mumbling, really) for weeks, and when I'd ask him to sing it for me, he'd tell me no. It was worth the wait:
I must say, Casey is quite expressive. Check him out:
Despite the long hours I've spent working, I still managed to make it to the show- and boy am I glad!

I can't believe how long Casey's hair is. It makes him look so much older. But, I guess he's no longer a little pre-schooler, huh. It's good to hear that you made it to muffins with mom (x2). I would agree with Casey, you do make some good cookies.
