Mom of the year!

You know, the other day I felt like such a failure, but today I look back at this week and all I see is greatness. Monday evening I came home, scooped up kids and dragged them to the grocery store with me. By the time we got home Levi was starving so I let him eat some gummy worms and by the time dinner was ready he wasn't hungry anymore. Gummy worms for dinner. Hey, at least they are fat-free!

On Tuesday evening, he was helping me water the plants when he announced he needed to pee. I pointed out a nearby bush and let him have at it, right there in the front yard. Human urine helps keep the deer away from my landscaping. Bonus!

Wednesday evening I was baking some Amish Friendship bread and he informed me that he fermented starter smelled like wine. How proud was I that my 4 year old has the nose of a future sommelier. 

Thursday evening I was preparing dinner when I realized I hadn't seen Katie. I called her phone and found out she was at a friend's house. She claims she told me the day before but I have no memory of it. She's almost grown, so losing her for a bit here and there is just practice for sending her off to college. 

Friday I stayed late for a party at work, tasking my dear hubby with kid duty. Woohoo! Free beer and wine. What kids????

Saturday I worked in the yard a lot, with my little helper Levi by my side. He started out with a shirt on, but shed it at some point. It was only later I realized how long he had gone topless when I saw his pink shoulders. My son's first sunburn. Nice. 

Today we worked some more in the yard, got cleaned up and then went to a movie. I fed Levi popcorn and candy for lunch at the movies. Hey, the snack-pack is the best value deal. Besides, they were out of nachos. 

I am still patting myself on the back for this stellar week of super-mommyness......
