m-o-m

My mom came for a visit recently


JUST BECAUSE


We had a great time

talking
laughing
staying up late
trying new recipes
carting kids around together
shopping
playing phase 10
watching Percy Jackson
sewing dolls with the girls


My mom is so great!


She is such a good sport.

The second she walks in the door my girls pull out all the hair stuff and makeup to give grandma a makeover.

She always looks pretty much ridiculous when they're done.


BUT THEY LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!



Our funniest conversation involved swear words.........

You know how sometimes you just feel like saying a swear word even if you don't actually say it?



My mom has made up her own perfect solution:

See, if the swear word is spelled out it isn't really a bad word. (especially if it's spelled wrong!)



like: I don't give a d-a-m!
See, it's spelled like a beaver dam and not the bad word!


If you actually say the word you just have to spell it wrong in your mind.




She is BRILLIANT!!




I totally wish I lived only 10 minutes away, but I'm so glad she will take a few days to come hang out with us!








good things:
my mama
happily sleep deprived
getting advice about teenage daughters
