an early mothers day treat

yesterday i had tea at an early mothers day party at fin's school. it was perhaps the most adorable event there yet. each of the kids recited poems and sang songs (fin did a poem about a wise owl). the mom's were then seated at a table and served by the kids. it was so funny having muffins and fruit hurled onto our plates. the kids were using their hands to dish out cut strawberries and yelling across the classroom to see what the moms wanted to drink. we were each presented with two special projects, a cute wreath with flowers glued on and a special mothers day hat made out of paper plates and bowls. but the best laugh came when i picked fin up from school and checked his folder. he brought home an art project, which the teacher had laminated. the children were asked to draw a picture and then tell the teacher why their mommy is special. fin drew a picture of wormy's (his imaginary friend) house. and here is the best part... the line below the picture reads: "My Mommy is Special. My mommy likes construction workers." i havent laughed soo hard since i cant remember when!!
