We're going on a trip and the song about fall were the best. There lessons were annoying but my daughter and I loved the songs.

Love the snow flake and not batch production analogy. Each of our children are unique and so are we as moms. Thanks for reading!

Great job beans. I bet it wasn't a mother who wrote it... Or she would have known motherhood is not like an assembly line production with one particular standard it is a constantly evolving responsibility based on each child's nature, individual needs and circumstances thus each child is an individual like a snow flake and not batch production.

Nicely done Bean. I would note (which you implied) that Time Magazine is a bit of a rag these days. It peaked a long time ago and this cover reeks of desperation and sensationalism.

We had a great day. It was so nice to hang out with her for a little while. And the amount of crafts she made was super impressive. I might start pinning them. . .

I love the lady- she looks beautiful!

While not in that league, there was also the time when we were in Costco and I told my kids that when I was pregnant I ate yogurt every day for lunch. What followed (while being surrounded by strangers on a busy Saturday) was the Wild Woman exclaiming "and then I popped out of your vagina" Needless to say she did not whisper it and I did not know what to say. Luckily the Wild Man then said- "I came out of your tummy, right" - I love that kid.

I did contemplate showing the photo. Perhaps one day my readers will be rewarded. I am just grateful the Lady's head blocks the full-on boob salad that was on display.

I still think that a picture of you actually wearing the bathing suit would make this one of the best posts ever, but until you see it from my perspective I will just have to rely on the visual in my head. Luckily from that day I also have the visual of the ring around the boys' toliet in the dorm that I am still having nightmares about.

Would having to throw out a purse because your son decided to poop in it while you were eating dinner and he did not want to walk away from watching TV count?

Hilarious! It looked just fine and welcome to the family mammaries which don't seem to improve even when not nursing! They are still the bane of dress shopping as they tend to jack up the dress size to something just shy of a little humiliating at times!
It was so enjoyable seeing all the girls and Quinn!!! They're adorable and I look forward to the next time!!! Love, Aunt Nancy
