Threes

Friday was a day filled with 3's for me. I
- took care of 3 kids
- made 3 meals
- did 3 loads of laundry
- prepared 3 tax returns
- made 3 beds
- scrubbed 3 toilets

It was a rather busy day.

Cards from kids

Mr. OCD's birthday is coming up. Yesterday the boys and I were at the store and I was letting them pick out cards for Daddy. J picked out an appropriate card "To Daddy From Son". But B... well, this lovely card with some birds on the front caught his eye and nothing else would do. I tried to talk him out of it, showing him other silly colorful cards, but nothing could compare to those birds. B's card reads:

For the Man I Love

No matter what ups and downs we might experience, our life together is the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me. And I wake up each day more grateful than the day before that I have you by my side... to talk with... to be with... and to love.

Happy Birthday

Awww Pickles!

The other day while I was making the boys lunch, I asked J what kind of fruit he wanted. He replied, "I want the pickles that taste like lollypops". Um... okay. This is a riddle, right? What looks like a pickle but tastes like a lollypop. I rack my mommy brain trying to decode the riddle. Then it hits me! "Do you mean kiwi?"

That was it.
