Because I have to!

Today while we were painting Sammy says so matter of fact, "Mom, when I grow up I want to be an artist...and a mom because I have to". I said "you don't have to be a mom if you don't want to" and she says "well it would feel pretty weird if I wasn't." I feel the same way sometimes...it would feel weird if I wasn't a mom!

When Kevin's sister Millie got married he said "I can't believe Millie's having a baby". I asked him where he heard that, becasue to my knowledge she wasn't pregnant. He said "Well she got married so she HAS to have a baby".

Sammy will be the best mom!

Cute pics of painting. Are you trying to put the rest of us mothers that don't paint with our kids to shame??!! You and your family fun activities!! :)

I love the quote you have below! It's soooo how I feel today. It's 8:45 and we're just getting the kids to bed. Dinner dishes still to be done and laundry to be folded!! Unfortunately, we won't be able to make it Saturday either. Have fun and tell everyone hello!

I love the bows in Sammy's hair! Don't kids say the funniest things.

What would we do with ourselves!!
I wonder what Dean and I did all those yrs we waited for these two!
It was fun having all that time to spend just the 2 of us though.
I wouldn't trade it...

Look at you Miss blogger. I can't keep up on all your fun! I love Sammy's hair at her Diva party. How Fun- I hope someday I get to plan a girly party. This is so cute how she talks about being a mommy. Sometimes I worry- Brody says he is his bunny's daddy and Simba is the bunnies Mommy. Um... What? I think he just means he loves and takes care of him. Kids are too funny!
