Aaah!

So, we're moving in a week and I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off. (I feel like a Patton every time I say that.) We're heading to Iowa where my parents are, and I'll be teaching there this fall. I hadn't really realized how long it's been since my last post, so I'll try to get some pictures on tomorrow. With all the packing, I found a paper I got for Mother's Day that I wanted to memorialize here so that I can toss the real thing. Here it is:

My Mom Test
by Harrison Gilbert

What is something Mom always says to you?
Please.

What makes Mom happy?
When I brush my teeth.

What was your mom like as a kid?
She was a little mom.

How does your mom make you laugh?
She wrestles me and tickles me.

How old is your mom?
Five.

How tall is your mom?
Five.

What is her favorite thing to do?
Play with her boys.

What does your mom do when you're not around?
She settles down.

She goes to school.

A dino.

How are you and your mom the same?
We both love corn on the cob.

How do you know your mom loves you?

I think I'll like to read this in about thirteen years when he's not being as cute. But I really did have a wonderful Mother's Day.
