Seeing myself through my daughter’s eyes.
It’s telling*, it’s poignant, it’s beautiful, and it’s a piece of paper that I’ll treasure forever.
Thank you to all the teachers who take the time to do projects like this with your students.
*my eyes are blue-ish green
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW. That’s so sweet!!! The shoes + carpet got me giggling, sounds like my mama. I love “she takes care of me and protects me” and that she wouldn’t trade you for anything. I’ve melted into a puddle just reading it, I’m sure you have too
Happy belated Mother’s Day, hon. This is wonderful 
Love, Susan

Thank you, sweetie.
I know, I totally turned into a grinning, giggling, sappy puddle of mommy goo
OMG SOOOOOOOOOOOO cute. I would SO carry that around in my wallet (after highlighting the 40lbs part of course!)
I about hurt myself laughing at the 40 pounds
I do want to figure out how to frame it somewhere 
without looking silly ;-0)
Definitely a keeper-I would frame it for sure.

Thank you, ma’am
I feel VERY lucky.
I also adored the shoes on the carpet part.

We got new carpet.. Nathan pretty much threatened them
40 pounds?! How DO you do it, girlfriend?!

I don’t let my kids see me anywhere near a scale and they’re too young to understand measurement
It works!!!!!
So cute. I think the 40 pounds trumps the eye color.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I love that she said you’re as pretty as a dandelion!
But seriously, you need to start actually eating some of that pasta! You should probably weigh at least 55 lbs!
I know. I love the way my daughter thinks
The 40 pounds thing.. yep, it’s a winner
I remember when Caitlyn did this in preschool. She said I was 21 and loved to iron. I loved the 21 part, but the ironing, I am not sure who her father had been exposing her too! LOL
LOL! If she said Ironing, I would know without a doubt that she was lying to get on my good side. The only time I’ve touched an iron in the last 10 years or so was to iron on her girl scout patches, last week
hee hee
So sweet. I have a feeling that when your daughter is 31 years old, you’ll unveil this in a scrapbook or box of memorabilia for her.

Happiest of (very belated) Mother’s Day, my sweet friend.
Stop it, just stop it! I am laughing and crying at the same time. What a treasure!

ISn’t it a beautiful little thing. I’m going tomorrow to get a storage bin. We’re going to go through all her stuff, save the favorites and scan/copy everything. We never get this time back.
Oh mah sweet lord… so loves you HUGE!! Wonderful. I hope your day was swell, mama.
It was lovely. My kids handmade goodies… beyond the price of rubies, diamonds, gold, pearls.. anything.
My heart overflows
Oh, that is totally awesome. And, 40 lbs? Yay! My daughter tells me I have a big booty!

LOL! There was a time when my daughter was telling me to make it jiggle
Happy (belated) Mama’s Day, Krystyn
40 Pounds and you eat all that wonderful food you make? Amazing!
Hee Hee Hee.
I also temper with scales, apparently
Lady you need to start eating that food you write about. You are wasting away!!
I’m dying laughing.
Seriously.
Loves you
I love this sort of stuff! I mean, how else were we to know that you’re a living, breathing anorexic Barbie doll!

I’m sending you the bill for the broken rib that I just got from laughing so hard at your comment.
Holy hell. I’m SO far from that…
I can’t wait until I meet you one day, for real.
Somehow I don’t think 40lbs is healthy for someone 5 feet tall!
That is great though, I LOVE when our kids do stuff like this. Seeing the world through their eyes is an amazing exercise.
.-= Hockeymandad´s most recent blog ..Here comes a good one =-.
Is it any healthier due to the fact that I’m ACTUALLY 5’7?
40 lbs *snort* she’s off by a smidgeon
you know… 
LOL. I hear you gave your wife a helluva mother’s day! Kudos to you friend!
That made my day. Thank you!
Aw. HI George,
I’m thrilled I could make your day, sweetie.
Thank YOU!
Have a fantastic weekend, friend.
Wow, you weight 4o pounds?!? That’s amazing!!!
Love this!

*snort*
Yep. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it
Awesome! My son answered the “favorite food” question the same way for me! LOL
