Happy Mother's Day!

Allison woke me up at 6:30am to tell me that she had a Mother's Day gift for me. I took it and sat down to open it, but she insisted on "helping me." So she opened the box, pulled out the picture frame and showed me a picture of her in a frame that she made at school. I loved it. It was my first real piece of Mother's Day kid art. Allison then asked, "where are you going to put it?"
"In my room!" I said.
"Hmmm.....I think it would look better in mine." So now my Mother's Day gift is in her room and I don't know when I'll get it back.

I asked Nathan what he was going to get me for Mother's Day and he gave me the old, "You're not my Mother!" But I reminded him that it was "Mother's Day, not YOUR mother's day." He laughed and bought me this shirt from Charlie Hustle (a KC clothing shop) in response. After church (I did not wear this shirt to church) I took some photos with Allison in the backyard. She loves having control of the camera remote.

 

 

 I love this photo because it sums up me as a parent. "Why are you doing this?" I'm probably asking.

Here is Allison after church.
