This was fun to do with my kids--I now know that they know how much I like ice cream (it's really true, ice cream is a weak spot for me), I guess I like Jon for his muscles, not his kisses, my kids must not hear me tell them every morning as they leave for school that I love them, and obviously my boys have forgotten about all the catch we played together last week, although my neighbor noticed and commented on it. Anyway you say it though, I love my kids, and I love being their Mom. Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there--hope you had a good one!
