Today was Emma's class Mother's Day Tea. At first when the flier came home a week ago I begrudlingly said that I would go. I am not your normal PTA mom, its just not me and sometimes since I have three children its hard to go to every single thing. Well Emma's teacher this year insisted that all moms be there, so I went.
....and it was the best decision ever.
First it started with the moms waiting in the hallway filled with portraits the kids drew of us. We had to guess which one was us. It was so much fun standing there with a bunch of ladies I didn't know guessing which beautifully drawn portrait was ours. Next each student came out to get their mom with a pink rose in hand and they escorted us one at a time to our seat. The room was filled with candles and flowers. Let me just tell you that I cried as soon as I saw my little Emma Grace walk out the door to greet me.
Once we all sat down the kids sang a few songs and then wrote a few things about us.
Here was Emma's
My mom's names is MORGAN
She is 34 YEARS OLD
Her favorite food is SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
Her favorite TV show is ELLEN
What makes my mom special is SHE HAS A HEART OF GOLD
What?! Did my little miss Emma just say her mom has a heart of gold? She likes me, she really really likes me! And then....TEARS...........all over the place! I was a snotty, teary mess! I am happy to say I am not the only one that cried - thank the Lord!
After that we had light refreshments. It was the perfect way to spend my morning. I am so happy that her teacher insisted that we come. If she hadn't I probably would have blown it off to run errands. I know, I know - mom of the year once again!
5 stars to Emma's teacher for putting on the best Mother's Day Tea ever! It will be something that I will never forget!
