Seeing Red

This week was Teacher Appreciation Week. Aside from being like second moms, their teachers ensured that every child came home with amazing Mother's Day projects, which I for one appreciated immensely! It was also Game Day in Aurora's GT program (Chuck attended).

We spent the first part of the weekend marking the end of babyhood in this house, as we transformed Clark's nursery into a big boy room. We have officially outgrown the crib/daybed and rocking chair that got us through two babies/toddlers. They've been replaced with the coolest bed on the planet. Clark hasn't wanted to sleep in his room lately, but last night he had no problems.

This morning I made breakfast, headed out for a quick run, then got ready for a girl's day out with Aurora. We brought cheese, crackers, strawberries, chocolates, and wine to Painting with a Twist, Mommy and Me edition. I painted the big tree and Aurora made the little one. It was very sweet, and Aurora's glad to have something new (and red) to go in her room as well.

By the time we came home the boys had finished the food shopping, complete with flowers and cheesecake. What more could a mama ask for? Being a Mom at this stage is nonstop, but it's such a blessing. Being a working mom has been incredibly fulfilling, but these last couple of weeks have been especially hectic and I'm not sure our moms (or the kid's teachers) got as much appreciation as they deserve. We love and appreciate you, today and everyday. Happy Mother's Day!
