Exhibit A:
You know you are a mom when you love dressing up your children in ridiculous outfits. I think Amanda's expression says it all.
Exhibit B:You know you are a mom when you will do just about anything for the photo opportunity. Yes, that is Amanda in Mike's side cargo pocket. All she was trying to do was sleep and I wanted a photo so I could prove just how little she was.
Exhibit C:When did it become acceptable to take pictures of poop? But for some reason, I decided to snap this photo of Amanda. (I think Mike was deployed and I just wanted to share some of every day life with him.) You know you are a mom when your discussions about bodily functions are more frequent and seem more normal than talking about the weather.
Exhibit D:I could fill a book with the funny things that Adam has said. Now that Amanda is talking more, I could probably fill one for her, too. You know you are a mom when nothing your kid says seems unusual. Adam came downstairs one morning complaining that his underwear hurt. I couldn't understand-it was new underwear, I had washed it, etc. Upon further inspection, I couldn't stop laughing when I realized that he had put his underwear on sideways. Go ahead, I dare you, try it.
Exhibit E:You know you are a mom when nothing YOU say seems unusual to you. For example: One sunny day, Adam and his little friend were playing outside. When I looked out the window, I noticed that Adam and Rafe were dragging a small tricycle up the ladder of the play fort. I quickly opened the door and yelled, "ADAM, you CAN NOT ride the tricycle down the slide." His reply was something like, "Mom, I KNOW how to ride a tricycle!"
Having their daredevil plans ruined by a mom, they decided to find another source of entertainment. Hummmm, maybe I should have let them ride the trike down the slide.
I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. I am thankful for my mom who put up with all of my shenanigans and let me live to see another day.

That was great! It made me laugh so hard! I'd forgotten that cute picture of Amanda in her Elephant ears. And the sideways underware...priceless! I'm glad that you snaped a picture of it. How on earth did HE do that?
Sometimes I forget that not everyone likes to talk about the bowel movements of my children. But I'm not sure I've ever taken a photo of the blow-out...hehehe
Oh my goodness, you make me laugh! The underwear was hilarious and the tricycle incident... Priceless.
And I love the pocket full of Amanda.
I never thought about the crazy things that Mom's say but you are right we do say some outrageous things! I can't believe how small your babino was! Amazing!
Those are the perfect snapshots of mom moments. Good Stuff. My favorites is the things that kids say and the things you find yourself saying to them. No one can ever say it is not an adventure. Even if no one is shooting at us and there is no cool helicopter background.
I haven't laughed out loud like that for awhile. So funny and so close to home! Thanks for the reminder of why I love being a mom too.
