mama's day

i was blessed with many gifts from my littles.

logan came home from school on thursday, smiled and gave me a big present.  a handmade yellow basket filled with goodies... from a bracelet he designed to coupons i can't wait to use.  he also made some soap with his school friends. such a creative one he is.

although, there is a story behind this bracelet.   i earned it and then had it taken away.  i did not allow logan to do his experiment before bed since it included paints, toothpaste, water, and anything else he could find.  i told him it was time for bed and the bracelet was torn from my wrist.  he told me he was going to throw it away.  i quietly watched as he hid it behind the bookcase.  every day i asked for it back... finally sunday afternoon, before dinner, i got it back. with a kiss.

luke came home on friday and told me not to go through his backpack.  as soon as i pulled into the garage he was upstairs with his bag.  in fact, he had it unpacked before i made it through the door.

sure enough on sunday morning, he checked the calendar and came prancing down the stairs with his hands behind his back all big grin and giggles.  i am delighted that my little boy was so excited to share with his mama.  i can't wait to find the perfect frame.
