I LOVE MY MOMMA!!!!


This is my beautiful momma.
I love her very much for lotsa reasons.
I've been wanting a certain food for a while.
We haven't had it for years and it always sounds delicious.
Guess what was waiting for me when I walked in the door...
That certain food!!


The best salad ever to start it off.
Then Chicken-Broccoli Rolls!! 


I saw them sitting there on the table just for me.
It was definitely the best thing I've seen all day.
Probably all week.
Me: Are those what I think they are??
Mom: Yes...
Me: I love you!!! (as I fill my mouth with the first C-B Roll)
Mom: I love you too. That's why I made them.
Am I lucky or what?

Matthew-isms

All little people are cute and funny.
But I must say I have the cutest and funniest one there is.
Matthew.


He says something that makes me laugh every day.
Here is a collection of Facebook posts from this year 
all about Matthew.
(My favorite ones are in green)

Dec. 24 - (Dad) Matthew: "If Jesus were my dad, he'd take me to Chuck E. Cheese's, why won't you?"

Jan. 12- (Mom) Matthew just came out of the bathroom saying, "Gross. Very gross." I asked what he was talking about and he said, "Pee...Pee just got in my eye." I said that he must be kidding and he said he wasn't. So I asked how in the world that happens. He said, "I was shaking it and it flicked up into my eye."

Feb. 21Me: Matt are you gonna be a wrestler or a basketball player?
Matt: Neither. 
Me: What then? 
Matt: Ninja

Feb. 22- (Mom) Matthew just woke up and I said, "Good morning. Did you have a good sleep?" He said, "Yes. But I didn't have a good computer game because I haven't got to play one yet."

Feb. 27- (Mom) We were talking about how Easter changes dates every year. Anika asked why? I told her that it had something to do with the moon. Matthew says, "I know. It's so that there is a full moon so that the Easter Bunny can see at night."

March 19Me: I'm thinking of something that starts with a G.     
Matthew: G-sus?


March 25- (Dad) Matthew's prayer last night: "Please bless Japan, that she will recover goodly."

March 28- Matthew: Why would anyone burn the US flag?

Dad: Some people don't like America
Matthew: I don't understand why they wouldn't like America. Oh wait, yes I do. It gets cold here sometimes


April 2Matthew: I don't like carnivores. 
Mom: Why not?
Matthew: Because they eat people.
Mom: I think you mean cannibals.

April 5Matthew: Did you know that Katie has had almost 100 kisses in her life?
Mom (shocked and surprised): She has? Did she tell you this?
Matthew: No. I gave them to her. Do you want 100 kisses too?
Mom (very relieved): Maybe later. I'm making dinner right now.

April 19Me: Hey mom how do you spell immaculate?
Matt: M-A-T-T-H-E-W
Me: Immaculate, not Matthew!
Matt: Oh.....
*hugs me and runs off*

April 22- (Mom) The tooth fairy came and Matthew was very excited! He said, "I know what I want to do with my dollar. Donate it to Mr. Dickson's babies (a teacher at his school who had premie twins). This dollar is special but people are more special than money." 

April 24- (Mom) Matthew and I were talking about the easter bunny this morning. He was wondering where the easter bunny lives. He thought about it for a few seconds and said, "I know...Easter Island!" 

April 27- (Mom) Anika asked me, "What is the opposite of hazel?" Matthew blurted out, "Gretel!" 

May 4- (Dad) Matthew wore his Darth Vader shirt to celebrate Star Wars Day.

May7- (Mom) Matthew picked a bunch of wildflowers and used duct tape to hold the bouquet together.

May 9- (Mom) Matthew planted a jelly bean on Easter morning. He has been watering it and watching it ever since. This morning he said (in a very disappointed voice). "I guess my jelly bean tree isn't going to grow."


I love this kid.

I Want Adventure

***WARNING***
You probably don't wanna read this...cuz it's real long.

Once upon a time, in a faraway land,
 a young prince lived in a shining castle. 
Although he had everything his heart desired, 
the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. 
But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle
 and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold.
Repulsed by her haggard appearance, 
the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away, 
but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances,
 for beauty is found within.  
And when he dismissed her again, 
the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. 
The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that 
there was no love in his heart
and as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast, 
and placed a powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there.
Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world.
The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, 
which would bloom until his twenty-first year. 
If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken.
If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.  
As the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost all hope, 
for who could ever learn to love a beast?


I'm in love with Beauty and the Beast right now.
I bought it for $1 at DI.
Greatest DI buy up to date.
Here are some of my favorite quotes...

Beast:  I want to do something for her, but what?
Cogsworth:  Well, there's the usual things. Flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep.

Gaston:  Lefou, I'm afraid I've been thinking.
Lefou:  A dangerous pastime.
Gaston:  I know.

Gaston:  It's not right for a woman to read.  Soon she starts getting ideas, thinking...
Belle:  Gaston, you are positively primeval.
Gaston:  Why thank you, Belle.


This is my favorite song because like Belle,
I want adventure in the great, wide somewhere.
It gets me right in that spot I have in my heart.
I don't have as many reasons as I thought I would.
Don't act like I'm crazy because everyone has that little spot.



I had to include this part.
It's so darn sweet I couldn't help myself.

If you like Disney and you haven't seen Beauty and the Beast.
Shame.
There's what I have to say about that.
And I am bored.

Cleaning Lady

I super cleaned my room today!
I love knowing that everything is put away and mostly organized.
While I was crawling around cleaning the floor,
I decided to peek under my bed.


I found:
Four Bobbie Pins
Three (mismatched) Earrings
A Safety Pin
A Pair of Shoes
And some Dust Bunnies (:


What's under your bed?

Sugoi!

Our friends from Japan visited us over the weekend.
We gave them a tour of our home and they video recorded it.
No matter what room we were in,
you could hear someone saying "sugoi" (cool/awesome).

She's even cuter in real life!

We had a blast.
And lucky for us, they brought some Japanese treats.

Choco-Pie. Yumm.
Nail Kit for me!!  Ohh-la-la.
Super-secret spy pen!

I'm going to quote my moms facebook post now...

The food was delicious but the company was even better.
Even though most of the group only spoke Japanese,
love and laugher was the common language.

Next time we see each other,
I'm going to be the one recording their house.
ʘ‿ʘ

April Fool

Thanks a lot Mother Nature,
I shaved my legs for nothing!
She plays that trick on me every year.

"Ohh I'll just make the first day of April so nice.
They'll all paint their nails and shave their winter coats.
Little do the fools know that I'll make it snow the next day!!
MUAHAHAHA.
I am the master of April Fools Day."

^These are Mother Nature's thoughts.^
Good one M.N.


I'm glad one of us thought it was funny.
