A Perfect Mother's Day
The morning started with a stop at Starbucks on the way to church. While purchasing drinks, Madison insisted on getting me a Mother's Day gift. She arrives at the counter with said gift behind her back insisting I can't see it and I need to give her money so she can purchase it for me. When I explained I had no cash on me, she took my debit card from my hand and I had to turn around while she completed the transaction for our drinks and my mystery gift. The cashier was sweet to put the gift in a bag with tissue paper so it was ready for her to present to me.
As we arrived at church I gave Madison 4 quarters for offering. The sweet part of this story is that after church Madison told me that she gave two of her quarters to a girl who did not have offering. The funny part of this story is when we arrived at Wal-Mart after church and Madison announces as she's departing the car that her money is falling out of her panties! As it turns out, they did not collect offering in Children's Church that morning and Madison had a dress on with no pockets and did not bring a purse with her. So, being the ever-resourceful kid she is, she used what she had and decided to put her money in her panties.
After Wal-Mart, we made a quick trip home to change clothes, and eat lunch. Then we went to the pool with Derek and his sister and her husband met us there too. The weather was perfect. The sky was incredibly clear. It could not have been a better day for such activities. We finished the day with a cook-out and then games, before Madison and I returned home to pass out from sheer exhaustion and utter elation from such a perfect day.

Awww! What a nice day. I'm glad you were able to enjoy her so much and that she is so aware of doing something special for you. I think that is something that girls would be better at than boys but I won't be bitter. :)
wait wait wait...so what was the gift?
Glad you had a great day!
It was a tall insulated mug. I used it to keep my ice water cold at the pool that day :)
