happy day after mother's day allyson.

thanks for being a great mom, allyson. you are so good to me and eviejane. thanks for all you do.

quick story relating to this mother's day. evie was really excited to help me pick out some things for al this year. first, we got some treats at wal-mart that evie picked out. then, we went to a movie store to buy al a movie. on the drive home, i told evie that this was our secret, which made her really excited. i know she's 3 and that i can't expect her to keep a secret, but i thought i made it pretty clear. when we walked in the house, she was good for a few minutes, but then she told al we went to the movie store. then she looked at me and said, "i didn't tell her what we got there". later on saturday night, she told al she felt like having some skittles. al said we didn't have any, then evie sneakily responded, "yes we do." she was so giddy. sunday morning, evie came in to wake up al and have her open her mother's day present. i'm glad evie had fun and that she did the best she could at keeping a secret.

happy mother's day a day late to all the moms out there.

That is such a cute story. I now have to not tell Tanner anything with a present. He just cannot do it at all. (He kept asking about what we got my Mom and I just said "It's a box with a present in it. When he gave it to my Mom she said "what do you think is in it?" knowing he would tell, and Tanner said "I box!" Such funny kids.) I am so impressed with Evie. At least she only gave clues (even if they were big ones!) It is cute how excited she was too.
