Just so you know, I am Mum, not MOM.

Sunday afternoon saw the mothers from Monet's Grade One class, invited to school for 'afternoon tea'. Of course I accepted the invite (all the mothers did).

When we entered the classroom, we were greeted by our son or daughter and taken to 'their' chair. Monet even tucked in the chair for me. On the table was this...


A handmade card and a very special laminated letter, written by Miss Monet herself, saying all the lovely things I do for her (and Lily).  Quite touching, though it was addressed to MOM.  (However on the drawing she had done on the heading there is hand written 'Mum'...)

One of the head teachers of the school must've spent all weekend making quite tasty Love Heart shaped cookies, which were then decorated by our own child. I can tell you, Lily thought the icing was delicious!  They were eaten, served with a lovely cup of tea and then we got to giggle away look at our children's writing journals.  (My Monet has come a long way over the course of the school year.)




A Sweet afternoon, it was nice to way to spend a Mother's Day.
