I know what you mean! Monkeyboy really did get run over by a car at the beginning of the summer. It smashed his legs and fractured some of his bones, but, miraculously, did no permanent damage except that he still limps sometimes and feels tingles in one of his legs sometimes. But it COULD have been so much worse. Just one second difference, one inch difference, and Monkeyboy could have been

I have been debating whether it is something my ten year old would like or not. If so, I will end up going with a friend or my husband but I am not sure how interested he would be.

Hi ladies! Thanks for the words of welcome and support :) Missed all of you. Promise to check in this week. And @Jaci, Amara wants to come out and visit soon!

welcome back! We missed you! Amara is so big now and I just love the new backyard. I bet it makes coffee in the morning that much better! Love you!

Congratulations on the new job...sounds like it was a good decision for you. Bummer about the basement but sounds like you're getting a dream room. Thanks for the update. I'd been thinking of you too. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Lol...Don't grow up too fast Amara or Dad2Amara will start getting grey hairs and wrinkles.

I am way late. But happy birthday to your baby girl.

Is it as hard for you to look at those baby pictures as it is for me? I just ache for those days with my babies again.

It looks like everyone had a blast! I love that the hot dogs came and sat with you. How fun is that?

Thanks ladies! I showed Amara all of her birthday wishes here, on Twitter, and on Facebook. She loved it!

Happy "Birth"day to both of you :-)!!

Happy Birthday to your sweet girl. Hard to believe they were ever that tiny.

That's precious! WAY, WAY better than glee!

That was awesome. Love their enthusiasm and jazz hands :) Amara had her dance moves down. PS: Does Amara watch Glee or just the songs?

I hear ya. Even at the slightest disturbance I take my kids out. Some people just are oblivious.

2010-05-17T09:43:07.095-04:00

Amen!! I don't know how many times I have been unable to pay attention to a sermon or prayer because someone's kid is screaming. It seems like they never leave with them until they've reached a fever pitch, either.

The worst was at a service when my son was singing. I couldn't even hear them because a toddler was screaming over them. Seriously?! So frustrating.

Happy Mother's Day! The little pageant thing sounds sweet... but you're right, probably not really a tear-jerking moment! ;)

"I hear it's the largest theatre district outside Broadway in the U.S."

For real? Larger than the Kennedy Center?

I'm glad to hear you were able to enjoy most of Mother's Day. It had to be tough for you. I envy that you got to go out to eat twice! That's the way to do it, then you don't have to worry about serving your family undercooked chicken like me!

I do love the little gifts Amara made you, they are so cute and had to mean a lot.

Aww the tissue paper flower! I remember making my mom one for Mother's Day!! So sweet. She kept it for the longest time - I think until at least I graduated maybe even longer!
My oldest gave me his first "made" gift that he did at preschool. Loved it!
Oh and even though I have been to the Melting Pot twice in April - I am still so jealous - yummy!! :-)

I am glad that you had a good mother's day with the gifts, dinner and flowers. I would have been one of those moms you wanted to punch. :) I am an emotional wreck when it comes to my kids.

It is hard to have a mother's day without your mom and it is okay to miss her everyday. My father has been dead for 15 years and I miss him on father's day, his birthday and the

You're so funny! I love the pic of the 2 of you. My mother's day was pretty low-key, nothing fancy, homemade gifts and flowers and a good dinner.
