bagels, 2 year old bruises, and breakfast in the bathroom

a beautiful, sunlit morning

this afternoon was spent at Ms. B's school for Mother's Day Tea

homemade cards, ceramic treat holders, poems, stories, songs, and a few tears...what a memorable experience. it's a good thing there will be a video for purchase, because i took very few photos. taking it all in at the time seemed most important.

and just in case I ever misplace this piece of paper, here is the "How well do I know my mom" quiz the kids had to fill out Ms B was quite accurate, putting a huge smile on my face :)
