Mother's Day Tea

The twins' school put on a Mother's Day Tea with a program of songs that the kids sang and then treats and lemonade afterwards. My children were about as successful with this event as they were with the Christmas program.

When I first got there, they were lining up nicely and playing together while they waited for the singing to begin.
The minute the singing started, the two froze like deer in headlights. Ava's eyes found mine and she started to cry. Her teacher pulled her out of the group and brought her to me. Being up there without his best friend made Carter start to cry as well. So they both sat next to me while all the other kids sang songs about their moms.

As soon as the program was over, all was well again. Both Ava and Carter were all smiles and ready for treats.

Two cookies and countless glasses of lemonade later, they finally agreed to pose for me in front of the handprint banner.

Following the program, we went to Target to get groceries. The twins proceeded to serenade me throughout the entire store with all the songs from the program. Wrong time, wrong place, right mama. It made me happy to still get to hear the songs and I believe all the other patrons in Target enjoyed the serenade as well. They don't mind an audience as long as they aren't staring right at them!
