On Thursday, May 5th, Rachel invited me to a Mother's Day Picnic at her school. We were instructed to pack a blanket and picnic lunch. Our child was going to be providing dessert. The picnic started with the children coming in and singing a few songs. And of course Rachel refused to look at me the whole time she was singing. She claims she had to watch Mrs. Fry (her music teacher). It cracks me up how my kids can be so shy and nervous around Andy and/or I.... Here's a little snippet of one of the songs they sang:
Rachel and I then enjoyed a picnic lunch together. Rachel was so excited to give me the bath salts that she had made. She was also very proud of how she kept the brownies a secret. They had made them on Tuesday, so she kept quiet for a few days! :)
After the picnic lunch I walked Rachel back to her class. Outside her classroom there was a poster hung up for each mother to take home. Rachel had filled out what she thought some of my favorites are:
I love how she thinks Candyland is my favorite game. It makes me happy to know that she can tell that I enjoy playing with her. The Sponge Bob thing totally cracks me up! Right now Rachel's obsessed with Sponge Bob Go-Gurts, so I guess that's where that comes from. The song she's referring to is: http://www.freeabcsongs.com/skidamarink.html. It was fun to have the opportunity to spend lunch with Rachel. She certainly makes being a mother a pretty amazing experience! :)
