Mother's Day Love

I love homemade Mother's Day gifts.  This year did not disappoint (other than they don't make homemade Mother's Day gifts at the Jr. High).  Below is a taste of what my Mother's Day gifts were.  The first one is a card made by Kayden.  He drew a picture of me (which he later told me was really a picture of him) and answered lots of questions about me and what he loves about me.  I love the last page of his card when he talks about what he likes me to make for dinner.  He went off on a slight tangent about Chicken Pox.  (You can click on each page to enlarge it so you can read it.)
 

Then Josh made me a beautiful card that told me why I am the best mom ever.  He gets a little silly on the second and third page.  His true personality shines on through.  The box at the beginning of each paragraph is a reminder for him to indent.
 

 (By the way, I have no idea what he is talking about when it says that I paid money for him to go to the hospital.)

 Jaxon wrote me a beautiful poem:

It is a little hard to read so here is a translation-

"Happy Mother's Day"

"Happy Mother's Day" means more than have a happy day.

Within those words lie lots of things

We never get to say.

It means I love you first of all,

Then thanks for all you do.

It means you mean a lot to me,

And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means

That I am thinking of

Your happiness on this, your day

With pleasure and with love.

Jaxon also wrote me an acrostic poem:

And gave me some coupons that I have yet to cash in:

 Kayden gave me his Mother's Day card early so he hurried and whipped up another card for me to read on Mother's Day morning (top one):

 

The bottom card is from a week later.  We celebrated Mother's Day a week late with Jeremy's family.  So I told Kayden it was Mother's Day again.  He hurried and made me the lower card and wrapped it up and put it on the fireplace mantle.  He brought it to me in bed the next morning.  I believe it is a coupon of sorts.  One section is for picking up toys, the second is to say I love you (only he forgot the "you"), the third section is a picture of the two of us (he is on the left and I am on the right), and the last section is that he will pray.

I hope you enjoyed your Mother's Day gifts as much has I did!
