Yes, I have become the mom who co-ordinates her accessories, in this case nails, to the upcoming holidays. Flip me the bird and shoot me the evil eye for being like that, but I'm a dork and that won't change. I can promise not to get the matching sweatshirt, though. Pinkie swear.

I sent out this Hallmark e-card, and the kids adored seeing it, so we did an experiment and allowed it to run to see if it really would give 1,000,000 thank you's.

Bubba's hair, which I have finally determined has grown, but she has also grown five inches this year and her hair seemed like it stayed the same length.

Bubba is also an artist. She recognizes my incompetance in some areas and figures that I am multi-faceted dumb, so she drew these on the driveway so I wouldn't forget. The parking space:

The truck:

The instructions in case I didn't know what the lines, arrow and truck pictures meant:

I swear she wanted to write DUMMY after that but was afraid to ask me how to spell it.

Handsome likes to sweep. That, and his perchant for girl's shoes, makes me resigned to that he'll be a very successful housekeeper who makes women envious at how he wears stilletos better than them:

And I am a very lucky woman to have children who not only insist on getting Mommy flowers (Bubba), but want to help put them where we can all enjoy them, without making a mess:
