Great Mother’s Day

Well I had a great Mother’s Day weekend. Mostly that was due to 3 things. First of all I left a catalog on Jason’s desk with things circled, then I went and bought a bunch of furniture at a model home sale and lastly I let go of all those Hallmark expectations of a leisurely day with breakfast in bed and children that float around on clouds strumming harps all day.

That combination made for one kick a** Mother’s Day:) I got two pairs of beautiful earrings and a charm (see give him an idea or two and he takes it to the next level). Jason and I rented a uhaul and picked up and delivered our awesome new family room furniture AND Jason asked Uncle JJ to come over and watch the girls so we could see Star Trek (cuz’ I am a trekkie) which was AWESOME.

This is what it is like to talk to Piper:

Mom, why do we have bones?
Mom, what keeps our bones together?
Mom, what are teeth made of?

Here is what it is like to talk to Lela:

Mom, when we get home can we watch something?
Mom, when I get dressed can I watch something?
Mom, can I watch something?
Piper, go ask mom if we can watch something.

Here is what is like to talk to Landis:

Landis, do you have an owie? Shakes her head yes.
Landis, do you want to go to bed? Shakes her head yes.
Landis, are you the Queen of France? Shakes her head yes.

A doctor, a news journalist and a bobblehead:)
