Mother's Day Tea

Lilly's preschool class had a Mother's Day Tea for moms or grandmoms. Lilly was very excited as they spent quite some time planning and preparing for the special morning. The children had written some really sweet things about their special someone, prepared food, and had practiced songs which were adorable.

I really didn't even want to write this blog entry after I saw the pictures of myself with Lilly. Then I remembered that I keep this blog for the girls so that one day they can look back and say, "Oh my gosh Mom, your face was soooooooo FAT!" and I can then explain to them that pregnancy wrecks my body and will likely wreck theirs.

I am not blessed with beauty in pregnancy and instead I lose my neck bones, lose my neck, and gain three chins and a very round face. Forget about the rest of the body. I won't even go there. But it's temporary and in time I will recognize myself again. So Lilly, this is for you. Mommy was indeed at your preschool Mother's Day Tea and I loved every minute of it.
(This one was not so bad though I look like I have a deformity on my neck, but Lilly didn't smile.)

Oh holy moly Lord give me strength.
It's Barney at Lilly's Mother's Day Tea!

I will now go look for a brown paper bag. We'll make eye holes. It can be a fun game.

Thank you Lilly for making the day so special for Mommy! And thank you Daddy for going to work late so Ella was taken care of.
