Today was SUCH a special day! It was Mommy & Me Memory Day at LAP.
To start the festivities, all the moms gathered in the chapel where the kids sang us two really sweet songs. I love mommy, I love mommy, yes I do, yes I do, mommies are for hugging, mommies are for kissing, I love you, I love you!!
After our mini-concert, we had one hour to spend doing various activities around the church. We painted tea cup planters, had our picture taken in front of an igloo made from milk jugs, ice-skated through the chapel on pieces of wax paper, had a snow ball fight with wadded up newspaper and much more!
The afternoon was topped off with a Valentine's day party in Luke's classroom. There were strawberries, heart-shaped cookies, and lots of Valentines day cards and candy!!
Part of me was so sad because for the past three years I've taken these types of events for granted...maybe even thought of them as an inconvenience since I have to take time off of work...but, this year was so much different because next year Luke will be in kindergarten. I know I won't have as many opportunities like this, which made today so sweet.
That sounds like so much fun and they will be memories to cherish and no one can ever take them from you. I am so proud to be your mother!
