because kisses and hugs are special…

Thursday was an exciting day at Hannah’s preschool.

The last 45 minutes of class the mommies were invited to join their child for some snacks and fun. 

When I got there, Hannah was sitting at the table, waiting.  She looked so excited and proud.  It was too cute. 

This was sitting at our place at the table:

First, we had snacks.

Then it was time for the show.  The preschoolers lined up and sang a couple songs to all the moms.

Then, we all got to open our presents.

It’s a planter and it’s not as fuzzy at it appears in this photo. :)

Then we were done and had time to hang out, plant our flower, and check out the portraits each child had drawn of their mom.

What a special early Mother’s Day for me.

Awesome. I love the one about the vacuuming! Jacob told me this was going to be the best mother's day, because he loves me so much :)

So excited to see the kids soon!

What a fun time! They had muffins and juice at Kate's preschool. And we got a Mother's Day card they made. No song or dance though! Your Hannah is tall!

Oh, and I'm not sure how you follow, but my Target Giftcard Giveaway is ending this weekend. I'm trying to get my Blogger girls following me again on WP. Thanks!

Teri,
That is an ADORABLE picture of you and your girl! And the picture in the above post of you and Mickey is SUPER cute, too! (But for some reason I can't leave a comment on that post.)

It's fun to see Hannah all lined up by her classmates: she's so tall! :)

Champ

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
