It's Monday....what do I see?

Pancakes for breakfast!







I promise the nukie will be gone before the end of summer.

It's Monday....what do I see?

I know it's Tuesday, but in my mind it's Monday.
This is not an advertisement for Burt's Bees (although I love them), but
bath time is a favorite in my household.
At bath time my boys become
pilots
scientists
basketball players
scuba divers
volcano specialists
race car drivers
surfers
yellow submarines
and birds in the clouds
I love it when they almost forget I'm there....and I just listen to their chatter while they play.




CHEESE!


His way of "hiding" from the camera.

iheartfaces: motherhood

It's Monday--so post day, but I am also combining it with the submission for iheartfaces.
This week's theme is motherhood--a day I celebrate for myself. (A massage and movie all.by.myself.) But, more importantly I celebrate who brought me to where I am at now. My mother. My mom. My mommy. Everyday I try to measure up to what my mom did for me and everyday I think....damn it. How did she do it!?
She's a gardener, a reader, a golfer and a crossword puzzle lover. A listener, a talker, a wine and cheese cracker snacker. A loud laughter, solitaire player, a night owl and a worrier. She is soft and hard and opinionated and kind.
And she made me.



Pretty cool to have her hang with my youngest one here.
