Sock Wars

I'm pretty sure that Younger Brother probably has nightmares about baskets full of matchless socks. It just so happens to be the perfect solution for wild boys (or girls) who are not following Mom's instructions to play quietly/nicely and end up earning themselves a job...one that requires them to settle down and helps me out simultaneously. I like it! But judging by his reaction to his sentencing, one would think it was pure torture!

At least he isn't serving his time alone.

Princess A is keeping him good company, and she isn't wearing any socks at all for him to match.

"Teether me!"

Princess A has a new teether to help her with those new teeth she appears to be working on once again.

It's a rather strange looking contraption that I found while browsing the baby aisle at Target.

And she absolutely loves it!!!

In fact, she loves it so much that she even managed to hang onto it for the entire duration of time that it took me to take one complete shower.

That's worth every bit of $7.99 in my book!

Princess A agrees completely.

Tea With My B

Every year at the boys' school, the preschoolers host a Mother's Day Tea. It is probably the most highly anticipated and grandiose of all of their events and programs. And Younger Brother has been teasing it for quite some time. Over the past couple of weeks he has been excitedly reminding me that he's having a tea party for me because he loves so much, and told me that he made me surprises, and asked me if I'm going to wear a dress. :) Wild as he is, he has such a sweet, tender heart!

He was so anxious to get to the Tea, that sitting still for a few pictures ahead of time was clearly painful for him! Pardon the redundancy of the next few pics, but I found the progression of the look on his face hilarious.

This one is totally my favorite!

...complete with body language.

This was my coffee filter corsage.

Each child got to choose how to dye theirs. He picked purple just for me.

The Tea is held in a special room at the school and includes all kinds of lovely brunch items, along with tea, and some special crafts made by each child.

Once safely to the Tea Party on time, I was able to obtain a less painful picture of the two of us.

After brunch, the preschoolers perform a few special songs that they've learned.
"I am a promise, I am a possibility, I am a promise, With a capital P, I am a great big bundle of POTENTIALITY..... "

"He's still workin' on me...It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars, The sun and the Earth and Jupiter and Mars, How loving and patient He must be, 'Cause He's still workin' on me..."

When we got home I told him that I wanted a picture of him all handsome in his suit. I turned to get my camera and turned back around to find this. I should have known that he'd want his formal picture upside down. He did take care to keep his tie pointed in the right direction though. I thought that was a nice touch.

:)

I am very thankful to have such a loving little boy to spend such a lovely morning with!

Thanks for all of your hard work, and all of your love B.

I am so blessed that God picked me to be your mom!

Daddy Do's

Today was a work day for me. Typically, I would do the girls' hair before I go, but this time it was all Daddy. I thought they looked so cute in their coordinating outfits...Big Sis with her curls piled on top of her head, and Little Sis in a sporty little pony tail.

Nice job Daddy!
