Mother's Day Brunch

Katie's Pre-K class celebrated Mother's Day today by inviting all the Moms to a brunch in their classroom today. Unfortunately, I was still feeling the pain of a migraine that just wouldn't go away, but even so, I was able to appreciate the festivities. I went to Urgent Care immediately afterward, though.

The kids and their teachers put together a little program where they read stories they made up and sang songs for us. They also had each child draw a picture of their Mom (or Moms, as in our case) and describe, in their own words, a little bit about their Mom. The teacher laminated the picture and the written description of the Mom, on colored construction paper and presented it to each Mom. But first, the teacher read each one out loud and showed us the drawing to see if we could first guess which Mom it was. So, we all sat there, squirming a little bit, nervous about what our child might have decided to share about us. Some of the things the kids keyed in on were quite humorous. Turns out we have a few beer-drinking Moms in our group! We also have a Mom who takes naps every afternoon (she denied this allegation, though). Kids are funny. And, they do pay attention to what we do! Fortunately, Katie didn't share any embarassing details with everyone aobut us. Here's what she said:

"My Mommy has flat curly hair, and my other Mommy has curly hair. My Mommy likes to watch the Biggest Loser show, but definitely does not like to watch Sponge Bob! My Mom likes to work the most but also plays Candyland and Chutes & Ladders with me. My Mommies like to drink diet coke soda and water."

And here are a few pictures:
