Memories...

I love to scrapbook.  Well, I love the thought of scrapbooking.  I wish I had a space of my own, other than the kitchen table to work on little creative pages to put into my kids scrapbooks.  Fact is, I have a scrapbook for each of them........but the pages are still empty.  I dont want to forget all the little tidbits of my kids lives.  I have decided to write my kids letters from time to time.  My intent is to print them off later..(ha!) At least I will keeping the moments logged.  So here is the first one:

Dear Garrett,
You are growing up so fast!  I love the way you try to say grown up words like "supa maro's" for super mario brothers.  You potty trained yourself pretty much.  Mama wasnt really trying to hard, the occasional trip to the bathroom turned into a constant reminder of "poo a talit". Of course if I didnt pay attention right away I would get a swift smack to the arm and you would reach your tiny little hand to my face and turn my head, so our eyes met.  In the most serious voice you could summon, "I nee poo a talit".  After one week, you officially had unnies.  "Vroom unnies", which you proudly stick your hinney in the air and point to the Lightening  McQueen figure on your backside.  You are indeed a blessing to me.  Today you learned how to tell secrets in my ear, they dont make much sense but I am sure eventually they will.  It makes me smile anyway.

Dont grow up to quick, Son.  Slow down for your me.
With love,
Mama

To be old......

I dont normally cry on my birthday.  I actually love it.  But today I am feeling a little old, Madison asked me "what was it like when you were born, like in the olden days" I said: "I dont know, what do you mean"....."like with wagons and stuff mom" Shoot me now, I'm turning 34 next month. Thank God someone invented the automobile in the last few years.....

Not much has been going on in our neck of the woods lately.  We've had rounds of the flu and Garrett got his first ear infection.  Glad to be over that.  The house is so quiet right now, I need to wake the girls for school but I am savoring the last moments of "nothingness" before my day begins.  Hopefully in the next few weeks, we will be getting our tickets to Oklahoma for summer break.  Pray we find them at a low price.....
