Mother's Day Gift- CANCELLED

*Natalie was being extra sweet yesterday afternoon.  She said, "Mommy, as part of your Mother's Day gift, I'm going to be nice and do everything I'm supposed to do for the rest of the month of May." 

Kate followed, "Me too!" 

Scott, the realist, burst their bubbles with, "That's impossible!"

A couple of hours later, Scott and Natalie were bickering back and forth and as the fight began to escalate, I asked what happened to my Mother's Day gift in which Natalie was going to be an angel for the rest of the month.  She steamed, "Well that all got cancelled BECAUSE OF SCOTT!"

Shucks.

They did surprise me with sweet homemade cards this morning, and Kate emptied her piggy bank coins into a gift bag along with a few pens and pencils from the pen drawer.  I love it!:) 

*Kate (and her random comments):  There is a girl in my BSF class and her hair looks like she is a zookeeper.

*Natalie used to be Dora fan...then is was Doc McStuffins, then Lalaloopsies, then Strawberry Shortcake, then Shopkins, and the latest is BEANIE BOOS!  Wonder what she will be into tomorrow?  It's ever changing!

*Ten more school days, then Scott's hoping for more gator time!
*I tried to stuff a book into Kate's bookcase one day, and it was too full.  I left Kate to go through her books and pull out ones that she didn't want anymore.  When I returned, ALL of her books were piled up, and she told me it was the KEEP pile.  :/  Better do the discarding of books one day when she is at Grammy's! 
*Duct Tape Day at School!  (We had one participant who would have put more duct tape all over herself if we would have had more time.  We had one non-participant who saw absolutely no point in wrapping himself in duct tape.)
