I got a light saber made out of construction paper for Mother's Day from my son. It isn't something I would have picked out for myself, but I have to admit, it does come in handy when the occasional Sith Lord shows up. Don't underestimate Cinderella. That’s okay.

You get to see yourself through your kids eyes. Maybe you should get Az some glass slippers, to complete the picture. Might as well go big. But that’s what makes Mother’s Day/Father’s Day so fun.

Course, we just have the one boy right now so he isn't in any danger of getting anything princess-themed any time soon.

Fun, isn't it? My sweet husband has already worn pink fairy wings and tiaras and drunk more cups of "tea" out of tiny purple-flowered china cups than I'm sure he ever thought he would in his life. Our oldest is not yet 4 and I just had our third girl, so the fun looks like it will continue for years to come. And this is a guy who told me before we were married that his ideal family would be four boys. Funny how we can adapt (and thrive!) with things we never pictured for our lives, isn't it?

I see nothing new on my end???? All of the comments had me laughing. My husband would love a transformer, a bag of Cheetos and a Darth Vader card. In fact, I have several "love notes" from him featuring Darth. We have only girls so far also, but the oldest is getting him a Dad shirt and the two little ones are too little. I'm getting him a grilling cookbook that he requested. No Cinderella cards yet! :-) Off subject, but what new header? I see nothing new on my end????

No money out of pocket and they get daddy time. I love my kids. Now I'll have some reading time in peace while Mr. Right has memory time with the kids. It's like a Mother's Day/Father's Day gift all wrapped up in one! In trying to figure out what to get Mr. Right, they decided to workout with him. No money out of pocket and they get daddy time.
