When we arrived, there was a table of muffins and mini cinnamon rolls and pitchers with OJ and milk and also a pot of coffee. His teacher told him to ask me what I wanted for breakfast and I told him a muffin and OJ. He prepared the plate and carried it to the table for me before heading back for his own food (he had the same thing). When we reached his seat, he had a paper questionnaire that he had filled out about me and a craft project that I (kinda) knew about. See, he had been telling me all the week before that he made me a teacup. (Kid can't keep a secret) So, here it is:

| It came with 2 packets of real tea!! |
While I can't actually use the cup, it's terribly cute and very creative! I can, however, use the tea bags that came in the cup!
Back to that questionnaire. So, here are the questions and answers:
Q: What does my mommy look like? A: She has long hair, circle face, arms & hands, a tummy, legs & feet, and a bottom.
Q: How old is your mommy? A: 40 (40??? What!!!! 40 indeed!)
Q: What is her favorite food? A: carrots (couldn't be farther from the truth)
Q: What is her favorite color? A: red (well, that's actually his favorite color. Mine is orange...close)
Q: My mommy looks pretty when she... A: is happy (awww)
Q: What does your mommy do best? A: Helps Dad fix the car (wow)
Q: Where is your favorite place to go with your mommy? A: to our home (we've gotta get out more)
Q: How do you help your mommy at home? A: clean (he's actually quite helpful)
Q: If you had all the money in the world, what would you buy for your mommy? A: Pizza (kid's got priorities)
I was ok with everything but the age. Lucky him, I didn't see that question until I got home with it! Lastly, after my son consumed 2 muffins and a cinnamon roll and wanted yet ANOTHER muffin (I said, "no") we went outside to look at the last thing he made me:
It's a stepping stone with his handprint in it! I really like it!! It is currently residing in my garden because I really don't want to put it where people can actually step on it! So, these are the things I left with that day. All in all, a pretty good Mother's Day from Pre-K!
Today, when I dropped Gabriel off, I dropped off a dozen cupcakes. They actually weren't quite Death By Oreo, they were more like cookies n cream. I ended up using a different batter than I usually do and I think they came out a tad dry, so I wasn't terribly proud of them, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right? Here's a picture of the finished product:

| I sprinkled crushed Oreos on the top of the frosting and cookies were baked in |
Tomorrow is a work day and then it's race day!!!
Gabriel is so funny! I wonder how old he thinks Andy is if he thinks you're 40...lol. The teacup and stepping stone are cute. Good luck at the 5k tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but he told me today that my favorite color is orange. I asked him if he knew how old I am and he said, "30." I asked him why he told the teachers 40 and he said, "awww man, I messed up the numbers!" I told him I'm 32 and he asked if Shane is 22. I had to tell him that dad is 34!!
