Oh I know. I say this every holiday but I keep doing it because it's for the children. They are so excited when we are making Mother's Day, Father's Day & Christmas gifts for their parents. And it's more important that the parents appreciate us every day and thank us regularly for our great work all the time. It just bugs me now and then!
My dckids painted little pots and we filled them with flowers and butterflies, then we took foam sheets and the children glued on pictures of themselves at daycare with stickers and glitter. The two oldest children made necklaces for their Moms and the little boy who gave his Mom the presents at pickup yesterday was so happy when he put it on her. Our cards were great because I cut out a pot that they coloured, traced their hands on green paper for green stems and we pasted flowers on the fingers and thumb. I used Michelle's poem for the inside.
