Adventures in Bennionland

I have to be honest, I’m not a big fan of Mother’s Day. Nope.

This year I was looking forward to one thing – Walker’s preschool Mother’s Day Tea. I was worried because Walker had been sick and I was sick – but we managed to make it!

Walker was THRILLED to entertain. He presented the hat he’d made*.

They sang a song and read a story.

We had “dirt and mud from their garden” for a treat (aka Jell-o pudding with Oreo crumbles). Walks thought it was hilarious and kept reminding me that I was eating dirt. It was funny to see him in his element with his friends from preschool.

After all was done we got a gift – a hug poem that I must confess was darling with their hand prints at each end. It’s the sappy stuff* like that that makes Mother’s Day work out.

Truth is that I love being a mother, especially Walker’s. I’m glad he was so thrilled to treat me to a nice Mother’s Day Tea.

*I’m sorry. I’m trying to keep all of my glib comments about Mother’s Day out but…well I didn’t. And oh the hat. It was horrid. Made from a giant tea bag then tie-dyed. And we had to wear it the entire time!
