Mamaw Arrives!

Phew. My mom is in town. Considering the stuff happening to me, I’m glad she made it safe. I thought she was going to chew me up one side and down the other though. Just getting out of P’cola her plane was an hour late. Which meant she was missing her connection in Atlanta. She ended up with a 3 hour layover in Atlanta. Did I mention she HATES flying and airports? Yaa. I thought I was going to be in soooo much trouble. Luckily, she was happy to be here and see the grandkids that I survived. GRIN.

Less than a week away

What a crazy Father’s day. My oldest decided running a fever would be the best way to keep us all home and together. Ugh. Luckily my husband got a new wii game for father’s day. Better yet, he picked it up himself. Don’t fuss at me… he won’t tell me diddly squat on what he wants for a present. Drives me nuts. Hence, he can buy his own gift, give it to me, I give it to the kids and then they get to give it to him. Yaa, I would have been able to surprise him in the past but it is getting harder and harder every year. He buys what he wants. ARGH.

Ok, on to some less stressful news. My mom is coming!!!! I’m so psyched! 5 days until Saturday. 5 days until I get to see my mom!!!! Life is good!

Hogwarts watch out

Here come two new members… click to enlarge:

They had wands out and all sorts of cool moves. Mamaw rocks on getting the boys cool costumes.

Christmas Morning

It was a busy morning with lots of gifts. If you notice by Mamaw’s hand, there is the Kung Zhu pet with it’s pikachu costume. The costume Mamaw made!

Yep, that is the ‘old’ game of Operation. Except it has been updated to have a cell phone in the wrist and a few other new ones. We played it and loved it. Hubby, Mamaw and I played it once and ended up laughing so hard we were crying. There was one item we just could not get out. Definitely not going to use the hard setting with the boys, we’ll never finish a game!

Happy Birthday to Mamaw

Being I am very analytical and not very creative… I snuck out on the web and found this poem by Joanna Fuchs

Super Mom

Mom, you’re a wonderful mother,
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong.

You’re patient when I’m foolish;
You give guidance when I ask;
It seems you can do most anything;
You’re the master of every task.

You’re a dependable source of comfort;
You’re my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble;
You support me whenever I call.

I love you more than you know;
You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
You’d be the one I’d select!

By Joanna Fuchs

This poem said it best. You are always there for me and my boys. Even to the point of making Pikachu customs for the boys AND their zhu zhu pets! Click to enlarge:

or better yet

Happiest of birthdays to a wonderful mother.

Super Duper Reindeer Pooper

Mamaw is the greatest in the boys eyes right now… she got them reindeer that poop jelly bellies. Push them down to make them squat and out comes a jelly belly or two…

Got to lift that head to get them fed the jelly bellies of choice… The youngest just loved it…

They have been eating out of them for days now…

Happy Birthday Mamaw

Mom, your birthday means so much to me;
To have you in my life another year,
The time I spent enfolded in your love,
Each day, each moment with you is so dear.

I cherish the very special bond we have.
You lift my spirit in so many ways.
I celebrate your life; I honor you,
And send to you my love and care and praise.

By Joanna Fuchs

That poems says it quite well. I wish I had thought of it. You are a wonderful addition to my life. You taught me so much and continue to teach me as I get older. I love you mom. Happiest of Birthdays!

Mamaw keeps up with times

Every day I wonder if I’ll be as cool as my mom. She just sent me this

EDUCATIONAL Website for Kids

which is pretty cool. Almost as cool as this picture!

You Sank My BattleShip

Tater is pissed. Tot got to play with Mamaw on webkinz and he hasn’t had a chance. Here is a picture of Tot playing battleship against Mamaw…

Notice the cell phone on the desk? Yaa… we use to use headsets with microphones… but that has gone by the wayside. Now I need to get it all set up again. The summer is here and they may NOT use my cell phone the whole time to talk to mamaw. Besides, I need to get her a webcam for her new pc. That way her and the boys can see each other if they want to!

Yep, I will probably have to set up some ‘planned’ times for mamaw to play with Tater and Tot during the week while it is summer. To give me a break and to give them time to ~~fuss~~ play with Mamaw.
