hahahahha! AWESOME! Love the little comments the best. Love you!!
This post made me laugh like four times, life with kids is too quirky. Little Bunny Foo Foo is too funny, what a horrible song. :) I've had a primary aged child for 2 years and somehow I've never gotten a Mother's Day song out of her in church... our first year Ken was out of town and I had the other two with me and then Avery had to go to the bathroom so a cute young woman from the ward took her and they didn't get back in time to sing. I felt disappointed but then looked forward to this year when Avery was in a crazy grumpy mood all morning and was sitting on our laps during sacrament meeting sucking her thumb and then when it came time for the song she refused to go up so I thought, I'll just help her go up by walking halfway and she'll get in the spirit, so I walked up with her and tried to do the let go and she just started her veryloudcry so we bailed out the side door. I almost started my verytiredcry but then remembered that there's always next year, right?? :) Your moms little trinket from the nursery babies definitely made the day... :) My kids had made a card with paper and pictures for me and then finished it off (perfected it) by chopping it in millions of pieces with the scissors, I laughed at that. Dang, maybe I need a Mother's Day post? Sorry to leave such a long one here! :)
We live really close to your parents, we are in the neighborhood by Endeav Elem... behind Target sort of. We will definitely get together when you guys come and I'll feel a little sheepish bringing corn dogs to a vegetarian's house, but those things mostly aren't even meat anyways, right? :)
Sounds about right. Eva was tearing that Hershey's Kiss off my card on the way out of church, leaving the foil behind her on the floor.
You left out the part about delivering beautiful, huge, homemade chocolate chip cookie to your friends at church! Seriously the sweetest thing ever. Thank you so much!
Happy Mother's Day to a wonderful mommy! I love the spit up all down the back...priceless! :)
HA ha Tristen -- glad you laughed. I was laughing at your comment because that has happened to me with MAx! It was great this time though because Oliver was the one not afraid and just started marching right up there and Max was afraid until I said, hurry, go catch up with Oliver! And he did! Yes, there is always next year....
my mom is kind of a flexitarian anyway...or whatever they are called that will eat meat eery once in a while. Yes, hot dogs aren't really meat anyway. Max LOVES hot dogs and I never buy them so those would be a complete delicacy. Imagine -- hot dogs, a delicacy! I thought you were pretty vegetarian yourself!
Emily, ha ha!!! what was the primary thinking giving them cards with kisses? I bet half of them were gone before mother's got a hold of them. so funny. thank you for the nice words.
Serena, YOU are a wonderful mommy! I am so happy to know you! happy mother's day to you!
correction: mothers, not mother's. silly me. I hate when I do that kind of stuff.
Geez...I hate reflux and don't miss the throw up down the back! Glad you had a good day!
