What is it about Sundays?
Why is it every Sunday around 2 or 3 o'clock after church and after lunch my eyes are so heavy I have to fight to keep them open. This isn't a horrible thing if both of the girls are napping. And it isn't just me. Andy is like this every week, too. Anyone else?
I love my Sunday nap! But just wondering if anyone knew - what is it about Sundays?
Mommys (or Mommies?)
Every mom has things their children remember about them after their grown up. I always remember my mom's awesome cooking.
Things I hope Drea and Charlotte remember about me:
- Pancakes - I love making Drea pancakes for breakfast. Not everyday, of course, but sometimes I make little mini pancakes for her (works great with the smallest Pampered Chef scoop) and sometimes, not every time, I will get out my easy accent decorater and make the letters of her name or hearts or mickey mouse ears.
- Car dancing - Drea and I love to turn up our music pretty loud and dance in the car. I promise I'm safe when we do this. :) She thinks it's super fun and I'm sure Charlotte will be joining in soon.
- Tonight Drea asked me to make her Jello. I thought it sounded like a good idea. Good snack. I hope she remembers that I usually do these things when she asks. When she asks me to bake her cookies - we usually do it. (She doesn't ask this all the time or I would probably feel differently about it.) I always think these are great opportunities to spend time with her or create memories.
- Pretend box - I hope she remembers that I try to do creative things with her so she can use her creativity (and her energy - because she has a lot of it some days.) I made a box for her and helped her decorate it that has a bunch of pieces of paper in it with places and people and things on them. I have her draw a couple papers out of the box and then we act them out. She loves this! I actually don't play it with her enough. This is going to be so much fun when her and Charlotte can act things out together.
Anyway, there are a lot of other things I hope she remembers about me but those are just a few things I have been thinking lately.
