Mother's Day is coming...

So Sunday is Mother's Day and I bet a lot of you Mom's have received some fun things from your kids in years past. I thought I would show you a few of the things I've saved. These are things my kids gave me when they were young, and they were so proud to be giving them to me.
Of course, I loved them all!

This bowl came from Andy. He made it in second grade. I still have it on my dresser, and I use it for my pens and name badge for work.

This is a necklace that Heather made for me when she was 8. I put the quarter in the picture so you could see the size of it. :)

Laura made these earrings when she was 9. Again I added the quarter so you could see the size. She told me they were for me to wear to church, so I did - then I told her they really went better with jeans, for things like her ball games, and she was good with that. :)

This is a Build-A-Bear that all three kids did for me when they were a little older.
She's a nurse bear, wearing scrubs and a stethoscope. She even has on Sketcher brand shoes, which is what I always wear to work. She has something special though, that you can't see.
It's a sound button in her hand. The kids each recorded a section of a phrase from a book I used to read to them, and I love that I have their voices on it. The phrase is:
"I love you forever" (Laura)
"I'll like you for always" (Heather)
"As long as I'm living" (Andy)
"My Mommy you'll be." (all three together)

It's fun looking at these things and remembering those days when they were young. I'm so blessed to be their Mom!
