Mothers Day:1st and 2nd

Sorry about the late post!

Last year I was able to have my first Mother's Day! I never thought that I would have someone so beautiful in my life. He was a surprise baby and what a surprise he is still. He has taught me to be patient and to live life in the moment.

My second Mother's Day was even better. Potato has become such a character and has such a great spirit. DH and I feed off of his energy and really wish that we had a quarter of it sometimes. I was so excited this year to be able spend the morning with my sister-n-law and then head to Posados for lunch with my mother. Although we are completely different people now we are growing closer. I am not sure if our relationship will ever be the same again, but we can develop a new one. After lunch I headed to the pool with my favorite Sammy. That night we went and checked out my parents new patio and helped them unload their new patio furniture. I really can't wait until they get a play set for the boys. Soon!

My DH surprised me at the end of the night though. He took me to Best Buy and I was able to get an item off of my WISHLIST! I got my web cam and I actually got to use it tonight to talk with Dr Shipley! I love her and she got so many virtual kisses from the Potato. We are hoping to get to see Parrain soon. Here's proof that I got my new toy!

Mothers Day Card!

Well first off Mr Potato is getting so fed up with Daddy leaving him every morning. So this morning he woke up early, ate breakfast super fast, and grabbed an extra diaper for the day. He was going to work.......or at least he thought so! When Daddy told him he couldn't go the water works started, but here is my proof of his determination. I mean he didn't even care to get dressed or grab a sippy. Hardcore Potato!

I do believe that today is going down as one of my favorites. Potato and I were leaving for school this morning and Potato spotted that Mommy had a pretty rose that grew and decided that he must have it for Ms Silvia. I pulled all of the thorns off the bush but of course got caught by one.

When we got to Butterflies he pretty much flew out of his car seat then blasted through the doors not even looking back to make sure I was there. Feel the love right...! Well he needed me to open the door to the classroom. Ha! Ms Silvia flipped over her flower and gave Potato hugs and kisses. He is her favorite and those are her words! Well she told me that since we made her feel special again today that I get to take a piece of Potato's art with me early instead of having to wait until I pick up in the afternoon. To say the least I was pretty much jumping for joy!

I made sure to show everyone at the office 3 times! They don't mind. I think my favorite part has to be the mugshot photo lol! I really hope all of you mommies out there are lucky enough to get a special card like this mine.

You can tell I love it right!?!?

Second grade logic: Why God made mothers?

Why did God make mothers? 
1.  She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is. 
2.  Mostly to clean the house.
 3.  To help us out of there when we were getting born.  

How did God make mothers? 
1.  He used dirt, just like for the rest of us. 2.  Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
 3.  God made my mom just the same like he made me.  He just used bigger parts.  

What ingredients are mothers made of? 
1.  God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.. 
2.  They had to get their start from men's bones.  Then they mostly use string, I think.

  Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom? 
1.  We're related.
 2.  God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's mom like me.  

What kind of a little girl was your mom?
 1.  My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff. 
2.  I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy. 
3.  They say she used to be nice.

  What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
 1.  His last name. 
2.  She had to know his background.  Like is he a crook?  Does he get drunk on beer? 
3.  Does he make at least $800 a year?  Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?  

Why did your mom marry your dad?
 1.  My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world.  And my mom eats a lot.
 2.  She got too old to do anything else with him.
 3.  My grandma says that mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

  Who's the boss at your house?
 1.  Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
 2.  Mom.  You can tell by room inspection.  She sees the stuff under the bed.
 3.  I guess mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

  What' s the difference between moms and dads? 
1.  Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them. 
2.  Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friends.
 3.  Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.  

What does your mom do in her spare time?
 1.  Mothers don't do spare time
 2.  To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

   What would it take to make your mom perfect? 
1.  On the inside she's already perfect.  Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery. 
2.  Diet.  You know, her hair.  I'd diet, maybe blue.

  If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be? 
1.  She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean.  I'd get rid of that. 2.  I'd make my mom smarter.  Then she would know it was my sister who did it not me. 
3.  I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.
