out of the mouths August 29th, 2008
On the car ride back from Joanne’s after buying fabric to make Riley’s Halloween Costume (Good Lord – am I nuts?!?!?).
Ri: Mommy, I think I’m an expert on princesses and an expert on catching hermit crabs.
Me: Yes, you are very good at those things. I wish I were an expert at something.
Ri: Ummmm, there’s got to be something that you are good at.
Me: I hope so, can you think of anything?
Ri: No
About half an hour later while watching tv and telling Kevin about our conversation:
Kev: Well, what is mommy good at?
Ri: She’s good at eating!
Shoot me now. All the things I do for these kids and the only thing she can think of is EATING!?!!?!?!!? I feel like I have fulfilled my purpose in life and now I’m going to go fill myself with some icecream (can’t disappoint the kids since they think I’m an expert).
Oh and can’t make a post without a picture and since I haven’t taken any lately – I’ll post an old favorite from my blog folder that never quite made it online. My sweet boy (and coincidentally my favorite child today). Love those cheeks!!

don’t feel bad, i am good at eating too
nevermind the cheeks, look at those lips! what a cutie
Thanks Heidi, I probably should have PSed the slobber off of them. How much of that do you think made it onto the cake during the blowing out of the candles? Doesn’t matter, I’m such an expert eater I probably gobbled it right up anyway.
My kids say I’m a good eater and good at the “puter”. Not saying much.
Love that shot.
