I Got A Rock

May 16, 2012 By Katy

Remember this infamous scene from “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown“?

“I got five pieces of candy!”
“I got a chocolate bar!”
“I got a quarter!”
Charlie Brown: “I got a rock.”

Well, I got a rock for Mother’s Day.

And I love it!

Actually, I got several rocks and some awesome bits and pieces that my daughter Sydney, 5, collected for me. About 2 weeks before Mother’s Day, she started bringing treasures home in her pockets. She scolded me for trying to look at these treasures. Working diligently, she stored and hid the treasures in a small box until she presented me with the collection for Mother’s Day.

You’ll see I received rocks, some feathers, a spring, leaves, seeds, and a snakeskin (a weathered piece of plastic grocery bag, but –shh!– don’t tell Sydney that’s what it is).

I love it all.

What have your kids given you or made for you lately?

    My boys LOVE to pick weeds and say, “Mom! I got you a flower!” So sweet.

      I think the rocks on the right are now slightly offended! 🙂

    What a great gift! Gus gave me a treat that he’d made at school. It had a bite taken out of it. He told me that his teachers said he could share it:)

    Oh I love it. What every busy mum needs, a rusty spring. She’ precious, telling you not to look at all her finds… Too cute!

    Precious!! Have you ever read ‘The Littlest Angel”? This reminds me of what The Littlest Angel gave as a gift to the Christ Child…! (I always read it to the children in our churches on Christmas Eve…and I have 2 Little Angels in Heaven…) ;-}

    .AWWW those are the best gifts . . . from the heart! My oldest son used to bring me rock all of the time. He thought I collected them because when he visited me at school he saw them on my desk from the kids in my class who brought me rocks. It was pretty cute 🙂 My youngest son brings me dandelions all of the time. He used to call them sunflower (which are my favorite flower). He has recently started calling them DAMlions. We’re working very hard to say DAN-DA-LION

    So I’m wondering which exotic bird that pink feather came from. I suspect it is not a native of your state.
    I kind of miss the days of wilted flower and rock gifts…

    Thanks for all the lovely comments, ladies. It makes me treasure my “treasures” even more. 🙂
