The other day I got Meredith's monthly tuition statement home from her preschool. In addition to the normal fee there was another $8 dollar fee for materials used to make the parents a Christmas gift. I was so excited, so I had to ask.
"Meredith are you making Mommy and Daddy a Christmas present?"
Her eyes got so bright with excitement and she replied using her arms as she talked...
"YES! Yes mommy....I'm making a prise for you and daddy....and...and it's so big and so.... (insert jargon).... and its gonna be wrapped and so you can't see it .....and.....and.....shhh! its a prise......and....and its a picture frame!"
So I am not sure that I totally ruined it or that it is a picture frame, but I am thrilled to receive it and thrilled that she was so excited about it and totally bummed that I just pulled the words right out of her mouth. I guess she has a big mouth like her momma! I'll let you all know if it is indeed a picture frame.
Meet Me...Mandi
I am a wife, a mother, a daughter and a sister! I became a wife in May of 2005, a mother in April of 2006, the mother of 2 tikes under 2 in November of 2007 and the mother of the caboose in July of 2010. I have survived hurricane katrina, three pregnancies and c-sections, a major kitchen renovation, the start of real school, a move and I am trying to survive motherhood and three tikes. Come on in and stay for a while. I promise to be honest and to the point. There is no sugar coating motherhood and life around here.
My husband
He is the love of my life, my husband, my partner, my best friend. He patience is endless, he is a great dad and goes above and beyond as a husband and man. He helps with the laundry, he will cook dinner if needed, he cleans the kitchen at night and bathes the tikes. I could not find anyone better if I tried. He is my love.
Meet Meredith
My six year old. Who reads more than she speaks and has a thirst for knowledge. She's as kind hearted as they come and had more diva in her little toe than I do my entire body.
Meet Noah
My five year old, who speaks more than he breathes. Quiet is not in his vocabulary. He's so inquisitive and hands on. Is the most kind hearted little boy you will ever meet.
Meet Margot
The two year old, who gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "terrible twos". She is fiercely independent and walks to the beat of her own drum that she beats on quite frequently. Is obsessed with dancing and Dumbo.
Meet Brownie Jane
Our lovable 80+ lb chocolate lab. She can eat popsicle sticks whole, has had more surgeries than we have money for. Drinks out of the toilet and thinks the king size bed is hers.
