mom day


i had a really nice mother's day. pat made me breakfast and took over all household duties (i only made a quiche and coconut bread for lunch with my mom). later in the afternoon, the girls suprised me with a makeover. they had put nametags on and a sign on their bedroom door and then groomed me - glitter and all. it was very relaxing and i was touched that they came up with such a great idea on their own. (for the record, my toes are still painted different colors on each foot!

What a great idea! Love those sparkles!

PS: At Sophie's "Market Day" at school I was the first male to get my nails painted all sparkly by her and her best friend. I tell you what, the polish came right off, but there are still a few sparkles on my nails!

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
