My Mother's Day Card from Adrie

Cheers to All Moms

Adrie and I were watching TLC's "A Baby Story" today. She said to me, "Mom, your bottom isn't big enough for a baby to come out. How is it going to get out?"

Magician

I was sitting at the computer yesterday, when Adrie walked in holding three pencils in her hands. She said to me, "Mom, I said the magic words, but these pencils just won't disappear!"

Hot Stuff!

Luckily we saw Andy putting the TV remote into the oven.

My Valentine from Adrie

Adrie had a great deal of Valentines Day spirit this year. It was fun to watch her put together Valentines for her preschool class party; with a lot of anticipation of all the Valentines she would receive from her classmates. Later at Grandma's house, she created Valentines for me, Marshall, and her Aunty Em. Each had a piece of chocolate taped to it, which was actually still attached when we received them. The entire time I was opening and admiring my valentine, Andy was shouting in my face, "EAT KISS ALL GONE!" I guess he wanted to make sure that I was going to eat my Hershey kiss "all gone."

Early Morning

I woke up early this morning, hearing Adrie and Andy shouting at each other in their bedroom. When I went to see what was going on, I found Adrie, fully dressed in a very fancy outfit, performing a "show" for Andy, who was still in his crib. I couldn't make out what the show was about, but Adrie had quite a line-up of props she was using.

I love it when I find the kids sleeping peacefully.

The Toilet Paper . . . Again

I just found Adrie and Andy in the bathroom. Adrie was going potty, Andy was standing next to her unrolling the entire (full) roll of toilet paper.

Me: "Adrie! Why did you let him do that? Why didn't stop him?"

Adrie: " . . . I don't know . . . "

So then I made the mistake of walking away. Next I hear,

Adrie: "Mom . . . the toilet is having trouble flushing . . . that toilet paper doesn't go down very well."

She had taken the entire roll that was on the floor, stuffed it into the toilet, and flushed! We're lucky we didn't have major over-flow.

All the Love

Tonight's Prayers

Adrie at bedtime: "Mama, can I pray for Santa tonight?"

Me: " uh . . . sure."

Adrie: "Dear Santa, for Christmas I would like a candy maker, and a My Little Pony with a switch on the bottom that makes it walk and talk. And a new Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Little Mermaid dress. Thank you."

I thought she was going to pray "for" Santa, not "to" him. I guess we have to start somewhere.

Adrie saw Star Wars' Chewbacca on TV this morning. "Momma! Look at that big bear!" Andy said, "Doggy!"
