When Mom's Sick...




If you have kids, you know. If you don't have kids you're either laughing or disgusted (but because I'm sick, I don't care).

Oh yes I remember those days. I always knew macaroni and cheese was its own special food group. Take care of yourself Emily. All else will be right then. I'll be there soon to help too.

I remember the first time I got sick after I had a baby. My baby son didn't care that I was sick (surprise!) All I could think of was, "I want my Mommy!" Forced to grow up AND appreciate my own Mom's sacrifices for me!
Hope you're feeling better. Your work on this blog is priceless!

Amen sister! In our house it also means that it's okay to watch Elmo's World over and over and over.

Chloe's Birthday

Image
A couple of Christmases ago my dad sent Chloe the first season of "Little House on the Prairie" on DVD. After watching them ALL and moving onto the books, Chloe is a certified Little House fan. {she may or may not have gotten that from me} So when she asked for a Little House birthday party this year I may have: squealed made a dedicated pinterest board to her party and generally went overboard. {yep, definitely got it from me} Each guest got a hand made bonnet and apron to keep ready to welcome people on the front porch Guests also chose candy for their prize bags Lunch included fried chicken, biscuits, watermelon, and lemonade   we ate picnic-style   then we moved on to games Stick Pull Musical Chairs, played to fiddle music Potato Sack Race Hula Hooping Three Legged Race Poor Doggie we also did some coloring sheets and made bookmarks   I ...

Back to School

Image
A couple nights ago we roasted marshmallows, a sort of "farewell to summer". The kids had a great time and Chloe has been requesting s'mores ever couple hours since. And today, it was back to school. Bailey completed her summer journal, a wonderful compilation of  her summer events, to be turned in. She looked so cute in her new uniform with her matching bows (Which came out midway thru school when they did uku checks.  Oh well.) I wasn't so sure about that pink skirt but hey, I'm not the one wearing it so I didn't say a word. Good thing because we got to school and two other girls had almost the exact skirt on. I guess I don't know first grade fashion. (At least I know enough not to say anything!)
