If you give a mom a muffin...

There is a kids book called "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie". I have read it probably once, but after what I stumbled across this morning, I will have to track it down. I found this on Pamela Donnis' blog this evening, and I LOVE IT!!! It's something that she also came across while blog hopping.

If You Give A Mom A Muffin
by Kathy Fictorie

If you give a mom a muffin,
She’ll want a cup of coffee to go with it.
She’ll pour herself some.
Her three-year-old will spill the coffee.
She’ll wipe it up.
Wiping the floor, she’ll find dirty socks.
She’ll remember she has to do laundry.
When she puts the laundry in the washer,
She’ll trip over boots and bump into the freezer.
Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan for supper.
She will get out a pound of hamburger.
She’ll look for her cookbook (”101 Things To Do With a Pound of Hamburger”).
The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail.
She will see the phone bill, which is due tomorrow.
She will look for her checkbook.
The check book is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two-year-old.
She’ll smell something funny.
She’ll change the two year old’s diaper.
While she is changing the diaper, the phone will ring.
Her five-year-old will answer and hang up.
She’ll remember she wants to phone a friend for coffee.
Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup.
And chances are…
If she has a cup of coffee,
Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.

Such a bad blogger...

Hi, I'm back. I have tons of photos to post but I don't know when I will get around to it! Sorry. Sometime soon. For now, I just want to announce to the world that my little nephew Caleb James was born on December 5! He is a great looking newborn from the one photo I've gotten so far. Congrats Sarah and Jim! :) We're all excited about the new addition! :) The boys can't seem to remember his name, so they call him "baby cousin". I guess that works for now, until the next one comes along!

When I was browsing through photos, I came across this photo of my dad and the twins. I just love it! I had to scrap it. The quote is really cute, although I have a hard time thinking of my dad as "antique" just yet. You're not old, Dad!!! Very young at heart!
