"I'm so Impressed"

Jeremy bought a "new" boat last week and took it to the lake to try it out this past Tuesday morning. When he arrived home a few hours later, Amy and Emily ran out the front door to great him in their usual exuberant style. Before I could even pick up the baby to join the welcoming committee, Amy bounded back into the house with a little foam box of bait in her hands and exclaimed, "Oh, Mommy, I'm SO IMPRESSED! Daddy caught all these worms!" :o)

Jeremy later had to explain that he actually bought all the worms, but Amy is still convinced that her Daddy is the very best fisherman in the world!

My Mother's Day

As I was laying in bed this morning I could hear my 7 and 5 year old up to something in the kitchen. I was pretty certain that they wouldn't do something dangerous like use the stove so I thought I'd just let them finish what they were up to. Soon I could hear their little foot steps come up the stairs.

"Happy Mother's Day Mom!", they announced in unison.

I looked up to find my 7 year old holding a cup of tea!!! As if he were reading my mind he said to me: "Don't worry Mom. I know it's too dangerous for me to boil water so I made it with cold water instead."

That was the best cup of tea I've ever had!

My 5 year old, all smiles, brought me a bowl of cereal. Daddy, jealous of my royal treatment, jokingly says, "Hey, where's my cereal?" So she slips away to get a bowl for Daddy too. I better be getting breakfast in bed on Father's Day too!
