I've been doing flower arrangements all weekend for Mother's Day. Last night I finally got to do a couple for my mom and mother-in-law. Here is a really cute thing I stumbled upon. These questions were given to elementary aged kids and here are their answers...
1. She’s the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.
How did God make mothers?
1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.
What ingredients are mothers made of?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men’s bones. Then they mostly use string I think.
Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
1. We’re related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people’s moms like me.
What kind of little girl was your mom?
1. My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
2. I don’t know because I wasn’t there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.
What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores.
Why did your mom marry your dad?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my mom eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that mom didn’t have her thinking cap on.
Who’s the boss at your house?
1. Mom doesn’t want to be boss, but she has to because dad’s such a goofball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.
What’s the difference between moms and dads?
1. Moms work at work and work at home, and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power ’cause that’s who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend’s.
What does your mom do in her spare time?
1. Mothers don’t do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.
What would it take to make your mom perfect?
1. On the inside she’s already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I’d diet, maybe blue.
If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I’d get rid of that.
2. I’d make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me

Bloom my pretties!
Ohhhhh, my favorite smell...hyacinths.
I get a little excited when I see everything about to bloom. I can't wait till it's all in full bloom!
Remember this cute little tin? Well my husband didn't like it. It is going into his room of the house. Our living room is decorated with fishing stuff. Not exactly my idea but I'm going with it as best I can. Well I took my little tin bucket and painted the inside and the top of it black. Then I took some fabric that my husband picked out and has been begging me to use (one of those things where I dragged him over to the craft isle and he noticed this) and glued it to the bucket using spray adhesive.
There you go. Now it is manly enough that maybe he'll use it. The same concept could be used to cutesy it up. If it was all up to me it would be covered in polka dots and ribbon but then I think my husband wouldn't have wanted to use it and he wouldn't let me put it in his living room. One for the man!
