MOTHER'S DAY OUT 2013

I DECIDED TO DO THE MOTHER'S DAY OUT PROGRAM AGAIN AT OUR CHURCH.  FOR TWO REASONS: I COULD REALLY USE A FEW HOURS TO MYSELF ;) AND THE BOYS NEED BOTH SOCIALIZATION AND SOME STRUCTURED LEARNING.
I LOVED THE PROGRAM LAST YEAR AND WAS EAGER TO START AGAIN.  THE FIRST DAY WAS ACTUALLY TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT I KEPT THE BOYS HOME WITH ME TO SOAK UP THE LAST DAYS OF SUMMER.  SO TODAY WAS THEIR FIRST DAY.  I DIDN'T TELL THEM WHERE WE WERE GOING UNTIL THIS MORNING.  BLAKE WAS OKAY WITH IT.  BECKETT IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL.  HE TOLD ME HE WANTED TO GO THE GYM.  AND THEN BEGAN CRYING.  BUT ONCE WE GOT THERE, VERY FEW TEARS WERE SHED.  THE BOYS LET THE TEACHERS TAKE THEM AND WERE QUICKLY DISTRACTED.  DON'T BE MISTAKEN, THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY THRILLED WHEN THEY SAW ME AT PICK UP.  AND FUNNY THING, WHEN I SAW THEM WALKING TOWARD ME, LIKE BIG LITTLE BOYS, I STARTED TO CRY.  NOT ANYTHING OBSCENE, BUT A FEW TEARS LEAKED DOWN MY CHEEKS.  I HAVE TROUBLE GRASPING HOW QUICKLY THE TIME HAS GONE.  IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY THAT THEY WERE JUST LEARNING TO WALK. SOMETIMES IT HURTS MY HEART HOW BIG THEY HAVE GOTTEN, YET I KNOW MY HEART WILL ONLY GROW AND EXPAND AS THEY GET BIGGER AND ACHIEVE THE GOALS AND DREAMS THAT THEY HAVE.  ANYWAY, THE DAY WAS A SUCCESS.  THE TEACHERS SAID THAT THEY BOTH HAD A GREAT DAY.  SO HERE'S TO TUESDAYS AND MOTHER'S DAY OUT ;)
