Rascal #2 and Mothers Day Celebration

I risk sounding like a horrible Mom by admitting this, but Logan fell out of the shopping cart at Target.  I turned my back for one second and next thing I knew he was on the floor crying!  Luckily, he landed on his hands and knees and wasn't hurt.  That kid insists on standing up in the cart.  All the time.  And yes, I do buckle him.  Very tight.  But, somehow he still manages to turn around in the seat and spend most of the trip on his knees.  And yes, I do constantly say no and put him back on his bottom.  Many times.  I think he did get scared because he spent the rest of the trip on his bottom.  Though I have no doubt he will be back on his knees or feet next trip.  I think we may have been premature in calling Evan the rascal, I feel like Logan my give him a run for his money!!!

I am convinced that to be a good Mom you have to selfless.  I was blessed with an awesome Mom who did so much for us and I never realized how much until I became a Mom myself.  Really, being a Mom is often a thankless job.  After all, kids are pretty self centered most of the time.  After the exciting trip to Target, a walk, and trip to the playground, I fed the boys, played a little, read them stories, put them down for naps, cleaned the playroom, and mopped the whole downstairs.  It wasn't until after all of this that I realized I never ate lunch myself.  Now I love food, so it still amazes me that I can be so focused on two little human beings and their needs that I completely forget to eat myself!

After naps I took Evan to his school so he could join in on the Mother's Day Celebration.  His class sang some songs for us Mommy's and I got a cute homemade gift from him.  And just like that I was reminded why I love being a Mommy and would gladly skip lunch to care for my babies!

It was a busy day so after the party I dropped off the little boys with Dennis, so I could take Colin to a birthday party.  It was a "Game Truck" party.  A truck with a huge trailer was there with 4 flat screen tv's and leather couches.  16 kids could play video games at the same time.  It was a 6 year old's (and I imagine all the father's) dream.  It was amazing how quiet a party with 16 little boys could be, they were mesmerized!

Well, this Momma is tired, and I have a very busy day tomorrow, so I better get some rest.  Oh, and Colin and Evan are officially signed up for baseball!  I can't wait!
