Some Mommy Thoughts

This is an oldish picture from almost a year ago now. First of all, I had fun decorating the room! Zebra print rug, turquoise leather chair, lots of light: heaven. But I love most of all sitting in the chair with my little ones. They are so delicious! Their warm soft hair, squishy cheeks and tender little hands. I just want to munch on them I love them so much! This is what being a mommy is all about. What would I do without these beauties? I think I'd be bored out of my mind! They've taught me so much, I wouldn't be "Me" without them.

Montessori Graduation

Sarah and Ben went to a month of Montessori preschool after we moved
to American Fork. Miss Rebecca runs the cutest preschool in her home
super close to ours. She really loves the children and they love her.
All the kids wore men's short sleeve white shirts backwards with paper
graduation hats. They sang a few songs and we had a potluck after. So
darling and fun. Ben will continue there in the fall and Sarah will be
off to kindergarten.

Can I get this PLEASE?!!!

What mother hasn't seen THIS look before?

"Oh mom this is sooooo awesome! Can I get it please please please!
I'll be really good! Can I get it for my birthday or Christmas? Which
one comes first? Pleeeeease!"

My special way of warding off overly zealous little hoarders is to
take a picture of the thing they want, then they are appeased and I
have an idea for a future gift. Sarah wants a super messy volcano set
instead of a (clean) fluffy pink stuffed animal? Darn. Messes were
sure more fun when I was a kid and had a mother to clean it up.
