Ten Reason I Love Being a Mom
- Unlimited hugs and kisses
- Seeing my child learn something for the first time
- Getting to color any time I want
- Silly jokes that are told to me
- Hearing one little one sing about anything {like songs that could be titled “Don’t fall down the stairs” while she is walking down the stairs}
- How they can make me smile from ear to ear
- Teaching them to love God… and then watching them act it out
- Snuggling on the couch with my first-born while we watch Paula Dean
- Dimples… oh man… the dimples get me every time… I won’t have gotten to see those if I wasn’t their Mom
- Seeing God’s unending love in them. Truly, even in the midst of getting in trouble, I know that they love me… and I pray they know I love them… always and forever…
My knitting friend over at Permission to Unwind is celebrating her birthday today! She is such a fabulous knitter. That is where I got the cute pumpkin pattern I gave away at my Girlfriend Thanksgiving Feast this last year. Beyond being a great blogger she is so helpful to me… I have emailed her knitting questions and she answers me in a way I understand and once she even DREW me a picture!
So Happy Birthday Marie! A giveaway just for your birthday! This is a pattern I designed for a market bag. It is knit in funky color cotton yarn that will bring some sunshine to an otherwise boring day at the grocery store. Or take it along to the pool with you to carry all those pool toys. It stretches more than you can imagine and is strong to hold quite a load!
To enter to win you have to do two things:
- Wish Marie a Happy Birthday on her blog {and you’ll get a chance to win something from her too!}
- Come back here and let me know you wished her a Happy Birthday!
I’ll choose a winner tomorrow morning about 7:30 – so you have until than to enter!
Me: Ms. S what should I blog about?
Ms. S: Me!
Me: What would I say about you?
Ms. S: Thanks for loving me.
Me: You do love me, don’t you?
Ms. S: Yes {and then she gave me a kiss and went on}. Thanks for Daddy hugging me. Thanks for Grammie loving me. Thanks for Papa loving me. Thanks that we will get a new dog.
Me: Do you have other words besides thanks? {She learned about being thankful to God at church today}
Ms. S: No. Thanks for my friend J* and C***. You made an ‘S’… why did you make an ‘S’?”
Me: Uh-huh.
Me: Anything else?
Ms. S: Oh and I love Grammie so much. I love coming to her house.
Me: What’s your favorite thing to do?
Ms. S: To play with my dolly.
Me: What are you going to do tomorrow?
Ms. S: What’s tomorrow?
Me: Monday.
Ms. S: What do we do on Monday’s?
Me: School.
Ms. S: I don’t know what I’m going to play.
Me: Anything else you want me to write?
Ms. S: Thanks for my family and toys. That’s all.
Me: Do you want to say good bye to my blog readers?
Ms. S: Will they come out of there?
Me: The people that read my blog???
Ms. S: No the things you are typing.
Me: You mean print this out?
Ms. S: Yes, so Daddy can read it.
Me: Daddy can see it on his computer.
Ms. S: He can?
Me: Yes, you can see it on any computer.
And than the conversation took a weird turn to one of her friends and that they don’t have a computer. I made the mistake of saying they did and then she wanted details on where it is in their house. Her attention than went to the cat and she was off. To be in her brain for a moment….
This is my favorite picture ever.
All the pictures in this post was from the last year.
It looks like I won’t be posting a picture today. My card reader is not working???? I tried it on all three of my computers and get nothing! Not sure what the problem is.
Got it to work! This is Paula Dean’s Recipe for Sweet Tea Fried Chicken. Mr. C loved it!
In other news.. I’ve been busy knitting today. I only have to sew the seams on the sleeves and attach them. Hoping to get that done tonight and felt it tomorrow.
