The one of Damian is from a few weeks ago, but I forgot to post it. I’ve been letting my pictures stack up and then I forget what I have.

We had the whole family in town on Mother’s Day! It was so great. I decided that we should do a Mimosa and pastry brunch to celebrate. I don’t care that I planned my own Mother’s Day Brunch – it was delightful.
Here are the photos!
Savannah and I had a playgroup today and as we were getting ready to go, Savannah decided that she needed certain items to go with us. It was very cute (a: because she actually understood that we were going somewhere – she asked for her shoes “shoooooooos!” and b: see the following).
Here’s what she piled into my purse:
- a ball
- an empty water bottle
- a picture that she had drawn
- a book
- Elmo (duh)
- an old balloon
- one of my flip flops
- Baby Pig
THEN, she tried to put her toy Microwave AND her toy mailbox into my purse. I was hysterical with laughter.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there!

What ingredients are mothers made of ?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.

What kind of little girl was your mom?

3. They say she used to be nice.
What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
1. His last name.

3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?
Why did your mom marry your dad?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that Mom didn’t have her thinking cap on.
Who’s the boss at your house?
1. Mom doesn’t want to be boss, but she has to because dad’s such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.
What’s the difference between moms & dads?
1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.

1. Mothers don’t do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

2. Diet. You know, her hair. I’d diet, maybe blue.
If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I’d get rid of that
2. I’d make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.
