The Button Family: May 2008

Hair commentary

I got my haircut. I was going through a little vanity crisis when I asked Tate while I was tucking him into bed if he liked my hair better short or long. This was his EXACT answer. "Ya know, Mom, some women have their hair short when they would look better with it long. Some moms have long hair when it would look better short. But you, Mom, look beautiful whichever way you have your hair- short OR long." Hmmmm.... I'm not sure where he learned to come up with an answer like that, but I doubt he will ever go to the prom alone.

Not vegetarians

Every night we come to dinner Marissa has one question, "So, Mom, what animal are we eating tonight?"

Appliances

Garett told me today that I was like an air conditioner and he was like a vaccuum. I just blow my information all over the place and he sucked it all up. Nothing like being compared to an appliance on Mother's Day!

Mom's dinner

The kids were busy at work with Kevin (not shown) cooking up a fantastic Mother's Day Dinner. We had grilled asparagus, capellini pomodoro with fresh basil, and Bananas Foster. The kids love to have jobs in the kitchen! They wouldn't let me help- they put me in Mother's Day Prison- which meant I was supposed to go lay down and take a nap while they made dinner. Okay!

Cindy's Sweater

I told this sweet lady, Cindy, from church that I liked her sweater about a month ago. She told me she got it at the Eddie Bauer outlet about 30 minutes away. I went there looking for it but it had gone off sale, so I decided not to buy it. She later asked me if I had gotten the sweater and I told her that I had not. She showed up at church today with this sweater in a gift bag for me. She said she had fun picking it out. Can you believe someone would do that? It is the perfect size and color and I love it.
