Dear Mom...

PhotobucketWe are in a note writing stage at our house. On top of begging, gripeing and occasionally singing our praises, the girls have taken to pen and paper.

Exhibit 1:

This note was written after I yelled at the kids for wrestling in Costco. And no, I am not exaggerating.  They were on the floor at one point. And no, I don't have boys.

Notice the use of the word jerk.  I have no idea why they picked that word.  That's not a word that we really use much.  I probably should have admited this as a dirty secret, but I usually like to use words with a little more get up and go.  And usually, the kids are in earshot.

Every one together now, "BAD MOMMY!"

Exhibit 2:

This note came during my down time on Friday when I wanted to curl up in the fetal position and die.  I contracted something which I was positive was the swine flu. I won't even rant about how you can't really be sick when you have kids. You still have to feed, dress and referee them.

And exhibit 3, of which I don't have a photo, took place in the car on Sunday while we were headed into San Francisco.  Abby and I had a entire written conversation about whether or not she could watch a DVD.

I laugh about these notes and cherish each one of them.  First of all, it appears public school is working and the girls are learning things.  Second, I just think it's cool that they write us notes.

Write on!

If it's any consolation, we too went through this note writing stage with our oldest daughter and she went on to excel in English and Literature, received her degree in Communications and has a very successful career where she uses the written word daily... so I say keep those notes coming!

These are great! My oldest son used to leave me these notes (now it's emails or txt msgs). I saved many of them too.
