Soaking it all in

Its Wednesday, lets party!

Who says Wednesdays aren't fun?

I decided the kids needed a little fun.  

They have been so good at school and working so hard on homework.

I got out our Halloween movies, 

 made some monster munch

 colored some milk orange, 

 and told them to get on their favorite pair of Halloween socks.

Spur of the moment Wednesday night party with my love muffins.

This guy wouldn't smile for a picture because he was far more interested in eating monster munch.

I am a Mom

I have eyes in the back of my head.

I can smell fevers

I wear super hero bandaids

I clean little faces with my spit.

I shower with an audience

I can tell a lie before the lie is even said

I make a fool out of myself in public, just to make my kids laugh

I wake up several times a night to check on sleeping angels

I am a Mom

Weekends are for......

Baking Banana Bread, and eating it for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Bird watching with your buddy Socks

Playing hard

and napping with dinosaurs.

Splash Pads and Dilly Bars

I Hope They Each Know That They Are My Dream Come True

Mr. Bubble Foam Soap And A Bottle Brush, Everyone Is Happy.

Fail

Summer days bring out that fun mom in me.  

The mom that says "hey kids, lets read this book and try to make our own plum jam with the plums that you picked from the farm. We can put it on our toast for breakfast."

Sounds fun right? Sounds like a fun mom right?

Well here is what happened.........I followed the instructions, started to get nauseated by the smell of nasty baking plums (the smell was horrific I tell ya), almost ruined my pot (spent 20 mins trying to get that nasty concoction out), had to throw away a jar, and had two very disappointed children.

Mommy Fail, Jam fail, failure all around.

The only person amused by this situation was my lovely husband

I may have invented plum candy =)
