(Because, I helped him put on his pajamas)
Me: "I'm the only mom you've ever had"
My son: "Yeah, you are even better than Aunt (Calamity)!"
Me: "I am??"
My son: "Yeah, because you give us more chores!"
So, there you have it. That's the key to being a better mom than your sister.
Give your kids more chores.
You can thank me later.
By giving me half of your winnings after you become mother of the year.
I've had the title too many times, so they won't even put me in the running anymore.
You know what this is?...
It's 100% Mexican candy goodness!
All my favorites wrapped in a box and sent to my house.
1 guess as to who sent it to me.
Ahhh, I love her.
Wanna see the snowflakes my kids made?
What's that?
Not really?
Well, too bad, you're going to anyway.
Personally, I think they're cool, but probably only because I never progressed beyond the kind I learned to make in kindergarten.
*sigh*
Wanna hear my conspiracy theory about Christmas trees?
I think they purposely get ugly when you try to get a picture of them.
Yes.
On purpose.
...Yeah? Well, I don't care what you say, it's true.
I had well over
so I think to myself,
"I'd better get a picture of this tree, so I can re-create it next year!"
So I go to take a picture annnnd....
Ugliness.
Do your trees in real life, look the same way they do on camera?
Nevermind, don't tell me, I don't want to hear it.
You'd probably wreck my theory, then I'd give up my dream of calling Art Bell and discussing it with him on the radio.
It's the only way on there.
Especially since I haven't had any run-ins with the people that live in the earths crusts.
Not sure I'd want to either.
What's that?
You wanna see my tree?
Oh yeah.
That.
Well, here it is...
Of course, it could just my lack of photography skills.
Wanna know what someone GAVE me today??
A $100 hand mixer, and a $300 toaster.
"Carrot, they don't make them that expensive."
Oh yes, Viking does.
"Well, I'm sure that goes really well with your $20,000 house."
Er...you have a point.
Well, we might not have a fancy house, but we'll have fancy toast and cupcakes!
Wanna hear me shut up and not say "wanna" anymore?
Me too.
Happy New Year :)

Like OMG! I have totally wanted to be the first comment on your blog forever, and here I am.
The loser on new Years Eve reading blogs... But I am first. Ha
I wish I had a Viking Toaster, does it make amazing toast?
Have a great NYE
Cool toaster!
So I had to click on the little rolling cart to get it. Now I do. Just a little slow, that's me!
Happy New Year!
Segue...I love it.
Lucky...you got NCS candy!
That star snowflake is the best!
Love your tree. Where I come from we call that a Hanukah Bush - decorating a Christmas tree with the tradional Hanukah colors. (Lots of my friends had a Jewish Mother and a Christian Father or the other way aroundm and they'd combine the decorating).
Sweet appliances. Happy Toast and Cupcake making to you!
OMGosh. I so did NOT send you that candy! But I should have because I have impeccable taste AND I know you love me.
My guess: Starts with E and end with Lastic.
I am ruined. I see faces everywhere. That toaster? Yeah, eyes and dimples.
Hey, how heavy is that fancy mixer? Is that you holding it?
Those are so very fancy kitchen tools. Congratulations.
Happy New Year my dear and Only Carrot!
Your tree is beautiful, what are you talking about! I know, you just want to get on Art Bell's radio show. Now that Viking toaster looks very 'outer space', if you want my opinion! But I think it's very nifty! I have Toaster Envy.
Can you send your kids over to teach mine how to make those snowflakes? I'm tired of the kindergarten versions. Please.
I think your tree is beautiful! And so are the snowflakes.
Does that toaster make the best toast in the whole world?
Happy New Year!
NCS is right, and that is not me holding that mixer.
I am jealous.
1. Want to be best mom in the world.
2. Want candy.
3. Want to be able to make beautiful snowflakes.
4. Really want a white flocked tree.
5. Really really want that mixer and toaster.
You can see where my priorities are.
Who knew I just needed to make my kids work harder? My oldest yelled at me today that he was not my slave (and all I asked him to do was go up to his room because he was being obnoxious)...imagine if I actually made him do chores!
Do the mixer and toaster ever go plundering? One maims and the other one burns...
Happy New Year Carrot!
You know those segways plant subliminal NCS thoughts...not that I mind since I like her!
More chores, eh? I'll try that.
My favorite Mexican candy is a big patty of peanuts in red stuff, a little like peanut brittle, but not at all. We used to only be able to get it when we visited Mexico, but now (here in AZ) I can find it everywhere.
Did I miss the part about why there are so many pictures of the scooter?
I love how your tree looks all glowy with the lights on. Trees are not photogenic.
I heart NCS and Elastic, but I'm not sure about Mexican candy.
Happy New Year!
I think that your tree is really fantastic...especially knowing how I've never gotten mine to cooperate and pose pretty, either.
Love the snowflakes! and I feel really jealous of your new kitchen gizmos.
Fancy toaster----seriously----FANCY!
P.S. That's my segway. Get it? Segway? Yeah, nevermind.
I had to keep replacing the candy for the package because of a certain in-house Mexican who pretended he didn't know what the "NO TOQUES ESTO!" (Don't Touch This!) sign on the goodies meant.
Ohhhh no wonder you were smirking yesterday. I will have you know I am going to work my kids hinieys off today and the are going to love me the best. They are going to work till their knuckles bleed from the gummy ketchup bottles they are going to pry from off the fridge floor. I will make them sweat till they smile and tell me I am the favoite *sniff* which really stinks cause I wanted to lie in my new recliner and watch movies...*sigh* running for most popular is so much work.
That's the ONLY reason my kids love me--I GIVE THEM LOTS OF CHORES.
Happy New Year. I hope you have a great 2010.
I love your tree! And I love that you put stockings under it.
"Because you give us more chores."
I don't think I ever said that to my mom. But then again, I was the black sheep of the family.
