Mums can do ka-rah-tay, too.

The kids' karate school had a Mum's day on the Saturday before Mother's Day.  The mums got to break a piece of wood and then we were presented with a flower from our kids.  It was something I've never done before and honestly I was a little scared.  But! I broke the wood on the first hit.  William and Drew were proud of me but not nearly as proud as I was (secretly) of myself.  It was so fun to get up and be involved in their karate.  I think this earned me a bit of street cred with them, too.  In case they ever were beginning to doubt, this was just a reminder.  Don't mess with Mommy.  She's the real deal.
