Basic Mom Week in Review - 06/11/17

5 Things That Actually Happened This Week and the Lessons I Learned

1. I immaturely chuckled to myself when I signed my 8-year-old's planner:

Lesson: Elementary school traditions have changed since I was in school - we just had memory books.

2. This conversation between my husband and my 3-year-old:

Husband: Stop putting that noodle on your cup.

3-Year-Old: But I'm making a scarf!

Lesson: Honestly, it's probably better for my kid to use ramen noodles for imaginary play than to ingest them, so . . . I'll give her this one.

3. I told my 3-year-old to find a nice place outside to put her plant. She chose here:

Lesson: I guess we'll just mow around it.

4. I woke up one morning to a strange dog eating breakfast on my kitchen table:

Lesson: My kids probably need a pet.

5. My 8-year-old took it upon herself to make a sign for our garage sale:

Lesson: I'm beyond grateful that my sensitive daughter was at school when I discovered this sign because I laughed very hard for a very long time. Also, I can't stop saying "Grodge" to myself.
