Happy Mother's Day!

Gotta love a little girl who really appreciates mother's day. :) I went to bed last night thinking "Oh I would LOVE to be able to sleep in tomorrow!" Well, I didn't get my wish but my wake up was a nice one. At exactly 7 am this morning, Bailey came in to wish me a Happy Mother's Day. I woke up to her tickling my face, a pleasant way to wake up even though I didn't get to sleep in. Bailey also wrote me a 'poem' at school, it's all laminated and colored. It was really sweet (and funny) so I thought I'd share. Here is wishing all you Mom's out there a Happy Mother's Day!!

My Mom
By Bailey Runhaar
My mom has brown eyes.
I call her "mom".
She looks pretty and she smells
like she has been at the shop.
Her hair is blonde and brown,
and her hands are warm.
She helps me clean my room.
She likes to cook.
We like to clean my room together.
She is special because
We love her.
My mom makes me feel happy.
She loves me because I listen to her.
I love her because she
helps me with stuff.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 2009

The Girls New Hair Cut

The girls got their hair cut this week--and it looks adorable! Such a cute summer cut--no more tangles and fighting to get their hair done! They were both so excited to get it done and Bailey especially couldn't stop looking at herself in the mirror. :) The picture of Erin and I, Bailey took! She is already a photographer.

Proud of myself!

So since I'm Bailey's school RoomMom I was in charge of decorating her teacher's door for Teacher Appreciation Week. I was so proud of myself because it actually turned out how I pictured it in my mind!! That never happens, I usually have this idea and it turns out TOTALLY different (and not as cute I might add). I thought I'd share my masterpiece that is hanging on her teacher's door! :)

If Only...

Erin heard me make a comment about the grass needing to be mowed, but that I didn't want to do it. The next thing I know, she runs outside and grabs her lawn mower and starts working on the yard. I asked her what she was doing and she said: "I'm helping you Mommy, then you don't have to do it." If only her little lawn mower actually cut the grass...it's getting pretty long out there....

Spring is here!

Spring is here! I love this time of year! It's tie though as to whether I love all the flower bulbs blooming right now in my yard or if it's the glasses full of dandelions that I have in my kitchen from the girls are better. Every few minutes they bring in more flowers for me to enjoy in the kitchen, such cuties-they know what I love. :) So here is to my kitchen being full of dandelions all spring/summer long!

Worms!!

It has been raining a lot lately which has brought up all the worms! Erin brought me this handful of joy today after she and Bailey were done playing in the sandbox..... That's my erin! She wanted to keep them as pets so I had to convince her that they would die unless they stayed outside. Nothing freaks out that girl!
