Mom's Day!

Friday was "Mom's Day" at Melanie's school. It was a really neat day where I got to come to school with Melanie for the last 45 minutes. We painted Melanie's hand prints on the wall that leads to Mrs. Burrell's door.

(Melanie wrote her name herself. The "i" is a little hard to see. She may be "Melane" for the rest of eternity on the wall)Then we put on grass skirts and made leis.

Aren't we cute?

This is Melanie with her good friend, Alissa!

After the craft, all the mom's sat on the couches and prepared to watch a program. The kids did such a great job singing songs and doing cheers to make us feel special!

And Melanie gave me this special card, a bracelet she made, and a jar of slips with ideas of stories I can tell her (for example, last night I got to tell her about the house I grew up in).

It was a very special day at school! I really enjoyed myself and I knew Melanie did too. The sweetest thing was when, for no reason, when it was very quiet in the room, Melanie yelled to me "I love you mom". She is too sweet and I could not have asked a better little spirit to come into our family to be the biggest big sister. I sure love my Melanie.

After preschool, I took Melanie to the store and we bought the stuff to make chocolate chip cookies. We then picked up her brother and sister and continued the fun at home.
