Happy Mothers Day ! ( Spoiler Alert )

The spoiler alert is for any moms of my preschoolers that read this blog and plan to wait until Sunday to open their gift from the little ones. STOP NOW and wait until Monday to read this!

Nolan brought his " water turtle " today for us to see. I am so thankful I work in a place that the kids can bring in " stuff" to show their friends. Nolan brought this today. Emeri brought her new puppy the other day and Kimber brought in a cocoon. FUN STUFF!

Today we made this for our moms for Mothers Day. Asking the kids the questions to fill in the blanks was so much fun. One of the kids I asked " Why is your mom a rockstar?" The reply was " well.. she is just a little rockstar.. just a little..." Knowing this child as well as I do, I know what was meant . He took this question very literal. HE is a rockstar. But it still made me grin from ear to ear.

I hope all my mommies have a wonderful weekend with your child celebrating the most important job we all have .

Debbie's Back

Randy and I are officially back at work today ! The last two weeks seem like a bad dream. We buried my mom on Mothers Day. The last week with her was a week that I will never forget. Mom had very little pain and near the end slept most of the time but the times she was awake and talking to us was so comforting. I have no doubt where my mom is spending eternity. If you believe that a person can have one foot on earth and the other in Heaven.... that was our last week with mom. The things she said gave us all a glimpse of Jesus and she was a pure example of dying grace. We'll miss her but know my dad - who has barely had time to get settled in - is grinning from ear to ear.

Meet Sport - our new dog. My mom got Sport when she was diagnosed 4 years ago.

Glasses ! When I got back Dillion had new glasses . Kynley checked out the octopus glasses.

Cute turtle project they made last week.

Some of the learning activities on the table.

Can you SEE the ocean in there? Can you hear the ocean in there?

Today we looked at different shells and sorted them. Smooth / Rough , Big / Small

Shiny/ Dull,... the list goes on and on.

This is one of the Mothers Day projects Beth and Jodie made with the kids. CUTE! Great job girls! They even made an extra for me !
