Plain White T's

I'm not much for kid parties on school nights (I'm a bit of a control freak). We have stuff to do on school nights, ya know? I dont get home until 6 and after that we have dinner, homework, laundry, cleaning, reading, and just spending some time together.. We dont have late nights on school nights. I know I know. I am such a stick in the mud. I know..

That is neither here nor there. On with it.

Every single, literally, every single day when I pick up Tatum, I have one Pearce child or another in tears because they want to come to my house. In the words of Lettie after crying for 30 minutes when I wouldnt let her come over.. "Mom! I dont even know why April is your best friend! She always give me the biggest headache!" Ha. So anyways, on Tuesday, to every one's surprise (including my own) I relented. I let Carter and Lettie come over for an "American Idol" party. I sent them downstairs (so they wouldnt give ME a headache) to watch their show. After about 30 minutes they came upstairs to get me so that they could show me what they had been up to......

Adored by allSeriously! What a bad person am I? How have I not seen that this is what it is all about. Memories. Good times, and good pictures. Well, mediocre pictures anyhow. Seeing kids so happy and having such a good time is priceless. That is what I am here for. The Pearce babes are 1/16th mine, and I need to be better about making memories with them as well. I love happy kids. I love to see kids proud, silly, accomplished, creative, and spunky. I loved this impromptu play date!

One last picture........
Lettie is screaming "Ow" in this picture.
