So, I was thinking this morning that I haven't posted in a while, and I had these pictures that I took with my babies playing in the tupperware, and I was going to say how that is their favorite place to play and make a mess, but before I posted, I thought I'd check on Clara - she was doing her favorite thing ever - taking a bath. At that point, I decided that I would post why I love being a mom, just to remind myself. (and it is NOT because I get to clean poop out of the tub and off my kids!)
1. unlimited love
2. free hugs and kisses all day
3. an excuse to play all day, even if the house is a mess
4. field trips
5. I get to go to all the cartoon movies without anyone giving me a second look
6. 3 words - Makayla, Clara, Holden
7. if I want to make Mac N Cheese for dinner, no one cares
8. I get to play at the park anytime I want to
9. happy meals
10. time out is that much better because they miss me
11. sugar cereal
12. candy land
13. cartoons
14. because I said so
15. kindergarten program
16. swimming is more fun with the kids
17. Clara gets us a vacation every other year with her support group
18. Clara gets invited to do fun things, and bring her family (horseback riding, swimming, zoo)
19. kids books
20. christmas

22. I get to make the rules (mwa, ha, ha, ha, ha)
23. did I mention the hugs?
24. playdates
25. kid snacks
26. light bulb moments
27. teaching
28. kindergarten homework is easy
29. hugs
30. extra blessings
31. it doesn't take much to make my kids happy
32. carpool lane
33. bragging is acceptable and encouraged
34. little helpers
35. unconditional love
36. exploring

40. hugs
41. teaching them to help out
42. testimony building
43. my kids think I'm a superhero

45. I get to keep learning
46. I finally understand what my mom was talking about
47. my kids can cheer up any day I'm having
48. mom friends
49. I have an excuse not to work
50. huggs and kisses!
I could go on, but what kind of a mom would I be if I sat at the computer all day? :)

Yep, you are a great mom--Mac N Cheese for dinner!
Thanks for blogging, we really enjoy reading it.
playdough would be higher on my list!
I think you are a great mom.
I love the list! That picture of Clara is so great! You a the BEST mom!!! We miss you!
This is a great list! There are so many wonderful things about being a mom and you are such a good example to me of what a great mom is!
I love the bowl on Clara's head - too cute!!! I too love having mom friends and I am so glad you are one of mine. Sorry about not calling to cancel book club, but it was nice to see you and chat for a while. I'm glad it's Sunday and I don't have to work on the house and I can catch up on my blogging.
What a great list. It is good to remember why we love being mom's because somedays are just kind of hard. I love being a mom! It is what I always wanted to do. I never wanted to go to school I just wanted to be a mom.
You are a wonderful mom. Very patient, loving & fun. I so enjoyed our time living by each other. You are amazing! It was good to see you at Walmart the other day. I can't believe how big Holden is.
I love your list- I agree and I cant wait for some of those for when Heather is bigger! I love Claras head in the bowl- that is so cute!
Amen and amen! (I think sugar cereal would be my #1.)
I think I need to make a list like that and read it everyday! :) keep up the good mom-ing
