Happy birthday to me?

The girls had their room painted this week. They were having trouble adjusting to the changes so I planed a tea party in their room. The youngest girl and I went to Safeway and got some cookies and some milk then setup the tea party for when her sister and brother got home from school. She was so exited about the party that she decided that it must be someones birthday so she kept singing happy birthday to me all day. The down side to that was the only part of the song she could remember was "Happy Birthday to you". It was cute for a while but it did get old!
When the older sister got home she had a teddy bear from school named Patches that was taking turns being sent home with all the kids in her class. This week it was her turn so Patches got to have a tea party with us. Patches even got his own tea cup and cookies.
The girls had a great time and said that they though there room was cool! The older brother not wanting to participate went and worked on a project. He did enjoy the cookies and milk though.

Moving day.

My family is temporarily moving into a rental in Lynden on the 5th of April, Just till we find a more permanent place. Can anyone help us move on that day? Please!

Motherhood!

Flashes of Motherhood.

Yesterday I had happy meal boxes, kids toys, and a car seat in my car.
Welcome to Motherhood.

I asked the girls if they needed to use the restrooms before we left the house to go on a picnic at the park but it was not till we got all the way across the park to decide they really needed to go really really bad! By the time the girls make the trip to the restrooms they were all tuckered out and we decided it was time to go home. While walking to the car I couldn't help but laugh at myself. I was caring my purse a blanket a lunch pale Shesh (Summer's stuffed sheep that she takes everywhere she goes.) and I was caring Summer. To top it all off I looked down and realized that Summer was waring the muddy boots that she wore on the field trip to the cheese farm that I worked at about three years ago. I now had dirt and cow manure all over the front and back of me from Summer's shoes.
Welcome to motherhood.

Friday I was driving to the car wash with the girls when we saw some of my guy friends turning onto the same street. The girls started to giggle. A few moments after turning onto another street Summer let out a loud scream! Thinking that she must be in pain to scream like that I instantly puled the car over to see what was wrong. I was puzzled to see big smiles on both the girls faces. The guys drove buy and the girls explained that the guys waved at them and they thought that they were cute! Apparently they like guys in cowboy hats. I think they took years off my life with that one.
Welcome to Motherhood.

It seems like every time I tell someone one of the funny stories about the kids people say the same thing. Welcome to Motherhood. Kids are great for keeping us humble!

I love being a nanny!
