On Friday, I gave my boss the two clay pots the twins painted for her. We spent a lovely sunny day in the backyard in diapers, painting pots...and ourselves. We went to the store and picked out some colorful annuals and we spent some time in the dirt making them just right for "mama". (FYI, never bring twins toddlers to Home Depot).
Today, my husband and I delivered 3 small clay pots to my SIL that our 2-year old niece painted on one of our "dates". We try and take her once a month for a fun date and a few weeks ago, before our trek to the "choo-choo" park, we covered her in an old t-shirt and she made three masterpieces on clay pots. We filled them with colorful blooms and she was so excited to give them to her mom.
I wish I was a mom today too.

I've grown so used to this state of being that I can't imagine being on the other side.
Meg, someday you are going to make the best mom ever.
I'm so impressed that you were able to be so giving on this day. I couldn't even say the right words to my mother.
YOU are an amazingly strong woman. I just know you will be a mom soon.
I wish you were,too.
And I know you will be- it can't come soon enough!
That's so sweet, what you did for your employer & SIL. You obviously love your niece very much too. I know I feel the same way about mine.
I know it doesn't help, but you are a mom to your angel-babies. No, it doesn't help that there's nothing to hold, but I know I have a baby/babies in heaven.
You were so strong on what is a very difficult day. I hope that you'll be getting those clay pots some day.
You will be. I believe that!
And I figured you hated me and didn't want me on your blogroll! :P
You showed so much strength by helping create and then giving those gifts for Mother's Day. I could barely bring myself to leave the house, so I really admire you.
Someday we will join their ranks . . .
Sweet Meg,
Your heart is so big, so generous, and so kind. Your children will be so very lucky to have you as their mom.
Next year, on Mother's Day I hope you will be a big gorgeous pregnant mama and that we will all be celebrating you!!!!
Big hugs!
