My wrists need to diet!

Ahem.

This morning I woke up to a chorus of three boys fighting over who got to wake me up for Mother's Day. I told them all three had won the race to wake me and to get out so I could get dressed.

After I had been given a chance to wake up fully and enjoy a cup of coffee, the boys brought me presents they had made in school for me. I snagged them, all three at once, and told them, while hugging them, that I did not care about the presents, because it was THEM that made me a mom, not some gift they give me.

(Not that I wasn't excited to get gifts!!)

I opened the gift from Parker last, and was pleased to see a really pretty bracelet. It had the letters M O M, with two flower beads on either side, and a mix of blue beads and teeny tiny clear beads. It was very pretty, and it was definitely something I would have worn - a lot.

Exceeeeepttttt.....

Well. to put it gently, this bracelet would have looked at home as a decoration on cards for baby announcements.

Seriously. It wouldn't fit a chubby baby, much less myself! I told Parker it was beautiful and that i loved it, but I also asked him why he made it so small. He told me his teacher said it was big enough.

Sigh.

Anyway. I will be taking the bracelet to a local bead store to see if I can't get matching beads to make it bigger. Until them, it is hanging on a pencil in my Pencil Jar.
