Mothers Day Coloring Pages

Since 1914, the second sunday of May has been celebrated as Mother's Day in honor of the most wonderful person in each family. We all celebrate Mother’s Day on the second sunday of every May by giving gifts to Mom. Some give candy and greeting cards. Some create their own gifts. Anna Jarvis, the founder of the Mother's Day holiday, was very much against sending printed greeting cards to Mothers on this day. In her own words, "A printed card means nothing except that you are too lazy to write to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world."

Here is a way to create your own greeting card for Mom. Print out a black and white Mother's Day Coloring Picture from this album of Mothers Day Coloring Pages and customize it with your own message and colors.

Here is a list of couple of things that can be found in the mothers' dictionary:

Bottle-feeding: An opportunity for Daddy to get up at 2 am.
Family planning: The art of spacing your children the proper distance apart to keep you on the edge of financial disaster
Full name: What you call your child when you're mad at him.
Grandparents: The people who think your children are wonderful even though they're sure you're not raising them right.
Independent: How we want our children to be as long as they do everything we say.
Show off: A child who is more talented than yours.
Puddle: A small body of water that draws other small bodies wearing dry shoes into it.
