It's the Best of Both Worlds.....

Today is one of those days that I will most likely remember forever..

So, Its summer, I decide the girls and I deserve a treat. Thus, I give them a choice of what they want to do- play at the park or go to the movies. My wise children choose the comfort of a movie. Then we get a choice of UP of Hannah Montana. Now, I figure, they are going to pick the cartoon and Clarie barely knows who Hannah Montana is. Anyways, they both say the must see Hannah Montana. Okay fine, I will enjoy that more so we go for it. We do everything right : 1. sneak in snacks
2. go potty before the movie and have a Pull up change for Annie.

Great........ so right when ol' Miley is about to start the Ho Down scene .... Annie is like mom I gotta go potty.. I'm like whatever you don't know how to go yet.... then of course I notice she smell like ...well... crap.... so I'm like Clarie come on we gotta take Annie to the potty ...I'm hoping for just the run of mill stuff that and I figure I'll just throw the pull up away and hope she can do comando for the rest of the movie. Well, I realize quickly that her pants def. can not be put back on... Now what... okay first , Clean her up , Take of the pants and shoes.... I tell Claire we just have to go home because Annie is all dirty and I don't have anything clean to put on her except possiably a spare jean skirt in the car. Clarie says No , we Can't I must finish watching Hannaha Montana. Okay fine... now what.... then I say " Claire give Annie your underwear" (WHAT!! is this really happening!!) Claire is like no, then I won't have any.. I say Fine then we have to go... so regretfully we put the panites on Annie, luckily she is wearing a long t-shirt so I'm hoping it looks like a dress minus the jeans she came in with.... Okay so what do I do with the jeans.....um yes.. They are in the garabage along with the pull up in the Stage Cinema. So we go back into the movie and I just pray the whole time that Annie doesn't pee because forget it if she does... Of course she does when we are mostly outside and where it mostly goes in my purse and on my clothes. (Because of cousre I am holding her so that people can't see her lack of pants). ...... Claire said Hannanah Montana is the best singer in the whole world.

Claire Getting her Award of Completion for this year. Annie is very excited to get her turn next year.

Overall, May has been a wild and crazy month. We have had various obligations each weekend which have kept us not at home and thus, less time for me to think of clever things to blog about! O well! There are more pictures to post but I thought I would break them up a little bit. Hope your getting ready to kick off your summer! Its here already!

Recital 2009

I think I might die from Proudness! ( not a Word) and don't forget to turn off the music player at the bottom so you can hear this video! :)

A Mother's Day Post

I've been doing some thinking lately. I think it's because I've seen so many of my friends in the last few weeks give birth (Okay I haven't actually "seen" that but you know what I mean) and become mothers, fathers, big sisters, etc.. for the first time. Its been really amazing.

Today, Clarie's preschool did the "mother's day" craft that they sent home. It included a cup that had some little stones and candy in it. Claire informed me that I could have just one of the candies. and ya know what... I didn't care not one bit. On some days it might bother me to have my kids eat my treats or fall on a slushie in a store. But today, I don't care. My children are happy, healthy, and full of heaven and thats about as good as it gets. Some people say motherhood is the hardest thing in the world but sometimes I feel like it is the most selfish thing I've ever done.

Love to all of you -Mothers, grandmothers, greatgrandmothers, and anuts.
