Congrats on submitting your application! I know that's a huge decision...but I'm excited for you!
And please dish about the gifts that weren't well-received. Gag gifts that were a little too gaggy? Or what? My mind is racing! ;)
Glad you got in some great family time, even if your kidneys are bruised from your sleep-mate.
And, as to the Legos, look on the bright side. At least you didn't have to list a number of trips to the ER to have one surgically removed from your foot...maybe???
Happy New Year!!!
Good for you and the application.
Yes to the car fights. I love when I'm asked to drive and then criticized for my lane choices the whole way.
Don't make me pull this car over.
i'm with mandy. what were the gifts that were not well-recieved?
whatever we get my mother in law is not well recieved....especially since b's sister always manages to get a better gift (a trip, an ipad, etc...).
happy new year!!!
Hang the christmas cards on the back of the front door. :)
Yeah for application!
Car fights are the worst. Especially when the kids are all WHAT's WRONG MOMMY???
I don't even want to think about how many times I heard are we there yet and potty words. Ugh.
You're going back next year? That's so exciting!
Thank you for coming home - twice! I understand the sacrifice - used to do it myself with you little ones - but the LOVE....
Bikes belong outside, crazy but loving mom!
No answer for the bad words thing - nothing seems to work with him - yet - maybe the soap idea from the BB gun Christmas story (I like it!)
So glad you're going back to work - those kids need you!
We have our first Barbie house this year as well, elevator and all. Good luck!
