Zach's Mother's Day gifts that he made at school were SO special to me! I love 5 year old honesty! He first drew the picture of me... I am wearing a purple dress and twirling around and waving to him, Cannon and Daddy as they leave for the Father's and Son's Camp-out that was the Friday before Mother's Day. You can click on the pictures for bigger pictures. You can see our gold van driving off by our apartment (only the apartment is not 4 stories it's 3, and it's not green). Since it is Arizona, we of course, have a sunny day!
Now the little "fill in the blank" about me! (Double click for a larger picture if you need to... it is worth it!) I think Zach must have been hungry when he wrote it because there is A LOT about food in there! But then again, I really can't think of a time when Zach is NOT hungry. I feed him and with in 10 minutes he is dramatically and painfully STARVING again. Anyway back to his gift... I guess I am much OLDER than I really am. He says I am 1606 years old. Boy do I look good for my age! I guess my son also watches too much TV when the Kay Jewelry commercials have convinced him of the type of present he should be giving on Mother's Day. Diamonds are always nice, but it would not compare to this. I swear I am having it framed and I'm keeping it forever to "SEE" how much he loves me.
My little Bouquet of Flowers COMPLETELY is has Zach's personality, logic and way of thinking, ALL over it! Even his teacher, Ms. Johnson laughed at how much of this project is "Our Zach". He is a total individual and also, gets bored cutting and pasting easily. The assignment was to cut out flower shapes, glue them on, cut out circles for the flower's center, and glue those on the flower shapes. Well, that is not Zach... he always follows directions, but in his own way. He did it on some, but you can see there is on flower that does not have a center. Well, that is a ROSE and "roses don't have centers!" He did cut out a bunch of little circles and glued those on the stems... those are the "baby flowers just starting to grow". So I have my own unique little bouquet. The Flower Pot, is also a little different. He colored the inside blue because he "watered the flowers so they will never die". 
I did receive great cards, fresh flowers, earrings, and a Willow Tree Collectible, that I do love. But these are the first gifts Zach has been able to put his thought and effort into. He was really excited about giving them to me.
