Basic Mom Week in Review - 11/27/16
/5 Things That Actually Happened This Week and the Lessons I Learned
1. I drew a picture of Moana for my daughters and left it on the kitchen table. Later when I walked by the refrigerator, I noticed that my husband had hung it up and added my name and age.
Lesson: You are never too old to feel proud when Daddy puts your drawing on the fridge.
2. This conversation after Aunt Ashley found something on the floor in the basement:
Aunt Ashley: What is this?
7-Year-Old: Oh, that's a chunk of string cheese. But don't throw it away - we like to throw it at each other.
Lesson: I'm just so proud of my resourceful children.
3. Our kitchen sink started backing up while cleaning up after Thanksgiving dinner, and was out of commission until Friday afternoon when we had our pipes professionally snaked.
Lesson: Apparently, it is not a good idea to send the peels from 10 pounds of potatoes down the garbage disposal. Who knew?
4. My 7-year-old hid 9 turkeys around our house so her sister and cousins could have a "turkey hunt." The kids found 8 of the turkeys, but no one could find the ninth turkey.
On Sunday morning, while snuggling on the couch, my 3-year-old pointed to the clock and said, "I found the turkey!"
Lesson: Some families might notice a creepy little hand sticking out from the living room clock. But not my family.
5. I had pie for breakfast . . . twice.
Lesson: If you eat too much pie for breakfast, all of your pants will mysteriously shrink in the laundry. 😳
