my Mother's Day haul

Mother's Day....

I always look forward to the little handmade things the kids bring home from school for Mother's Day.

Maura made this little votive candle holder from a baby food jar with decoupaged tissue paper on it. So cute- and it had my "favorite color" tea light in it :)

This little teapot with a teabag- although she says "how on earth does it work?"


Adam made this at the Cedar Falls sunday school class and Rebecca mailed it to him :)


David made this with his art class:

Gordo donated a dozen of these to the cause:

He also made an awesome breakfast for us- but he does that on many a Sunday morning.
There were a few other things that dribbled in, found in backpacks on Monday morning, and even more found on Wednesday night. So who knows, I might be getting more yet!

What I did not get is a picture taken with me and the kiddos, it had briefly become a tradition but I guess we all forgot.
