Mother's Day Tea (or juice)

Today was mother's day tea at Carter's school. It was so cute. The kids made cards answering questions such as "My mom is ____ years old." "She weighs_____ pounds." Carter guessed that I was 5 years old and weighed 60 pounds. He is now the favorite child. :) j/k.
The rest goes like this:
My mom's favorite color is "all the colors in the rainbow."
The mom's favorite food is peanut butter and jelly." (maybe I need a little more creativity at lunch time??)
My mom likes "it when her boys help her clean the house."
My mom's favorite TV show is " a singing and dancing show."
My mom doesn't like to "clean the house." (Carter told me while I was reading this out loud with him, "you don't like cleaning up all our messes all by yourself, you like us to help too." How true, how true... Maybe I complain too much about cleaning up after them and how they need to pick up after themselves??
My mom loves me because "I'm so cute."
I love mom because " she keeps me safe."
We got to eat a treats each class made for the tea. Carter's class (Orioles) made lemon-poppy seed bread with glaze. Yum! Other classes made banana choc.chip bread, blueberry bread, tail mix and fruit salad. Of course there was the tea. There was juice for the kids.
Carter was too cute and asked his teachers if the tea was herbal tea. They told him is was iced tea. Carer told his teachers that we don't drink tea in our family only herbal tea, so he was wondering if we could have something else. His teachers said there would be juice for those who didn't want tea. What a good little missionary. :)
The kids than sang a song they had worked on with their music teacher who came in every Friday. They wrote the song themselves as a class to the tune of "Twinkle, twinkle little star."
The kids stood next to their moms and sang:
"I wish you a Happy Mother's Day
I'm going to give you a Mother's Day surprise!
I'm going to give you some chocolates and extra goodies;
I'll make you a card for your Mother's Day hours;
I'll decorate the house and make you a present;
Happy Mother's Day to you!"
They presented us with a "still life painting of purple azaleas in a blue vase" that they each painted and bracelets they beaded onto pipe cleaners.

It was a very fun, cute time. I got lots of hugs and kisses and special Carter attention which I loved. He made sure I always had what I needed and kept getting me more bread- even when I didn't want any more!

As a side note, on the way to drop off Bryce at my parents so I could go to Carter's school, Bryce was looking at me funny, searching my face and looking me over up and down. (I had put in my contacts, put on make-up and was wearing 'nice' clothes in preparation for the special event).
I asked him if I looked different. He shook his head yes looking a bit perplexed as he continued to looked me over. Then a look of clarity came into his face and eyes, he said excitedly, "you cute!" with a big smile on his face.
Ah-ha... so that was the difference..... :) Boy does he make me laugh.
