My mother’s day present from the monkey…
The one in the middle is a picture she made and framed for me.
In case you can’t read the words the card says in order:
The important thing about my mom is she loves me!
The important thing about my mom is she cares about me!
The important thing about my mom is she gives me donuts!
But the most important thing about my moms is she helps me!
In addition to this lovely present from the monkey I spent my Saturday night in the fine company of my wonderful in real life friend and fellow blogger, Jessica from Deadlines, Diapers, and Dior.
My children had a great time dressing up her little boy in pink headbands and purple sunglasses in addition to stuffing bottles down his throat while the adults enjoyed nice conversation and several glasses of wine.
So, today I am excited to tell you that Jessica has invited me over to her place to share the story of my children and their crawling skills (or lack thereof) when they were younger.
Please go check out my post Baby Steps…or Not at Jessica’s site and leave her a comment with your child(ren)’s crawling story.

He can barely curb his enthusiasm! Good that he is learning at a young age how women will command him for the rest of his life…
As for you, I am so impressed you left the house after receiving iPad. Mine is coming on Wednesday and I am not leaving the house or sleeping till June.

I have given the monkey donuts maybe 3 times in her life and now she is addicted.
Aw, how lucky you have a IRL bloggy friend!
Your mother’s day gifts are awesome — you’ve got a great monkey!

So cute, love how your friend’s son looks shocked in that last picture, as if he’s wondering what the heck is going on and how someone could dress him like a girl.

It’s a good thing his dad wasn’t paying attention to the girls dressing him up. He might not have been so happy about it.

What an amazing Mother’s Day card and gift! That donut line sounds like something my kids would say about me. My oldest made a card for me at school, not nearly as intricate with the detail as yours, and I still had to hold back the tears. There’s just something about homemade gifts from your kids.
C @ Kid Things recently posted..Starting Points
I love the homemade gifts. The donut line cracked me up because I rarely buy donut’s for my kids.
What a sweet gift! And I totally LOLed that donuts were mentioned.
My oldest is all about the sweets.

It was a nice weekend. Hope yours was too.
Sounds like fun! And, I love the story. Kids are so funny. They speak the truth!

My kids speak the truth just like I do.
Having fun with Photobucket, I see!
I love that donuts were on her list right after loving and caring for her. So sweet!
Heading over to read your guest post now.
Tonya recently posted..Self Help Youll Never Find In A Book
I’m loving Photobucket. So much fun.
I’m surprised donuts weren’t first thing on her list.
Those donuts are really important!
They are at the top of her list but she rarely gets them.
These are so sweet! The part about the donuts is something my son would have totally written too! Happy Mother’s Day

Oh those are the perfect mother’s day gifts. Sounds like your day was wonderful.
It was a pretty good day (and I got an iPad)!
All good mama’s give there monkey’s doughnuts. And all good monkeys write such nice Mother’s Day Cards. And now I’m off to read your guest post.

Very true, all good mamas spoil their kids sometimes and the kids show their gratitude with cute handmade cards.

I think Jessica’s little boy looked a wee bit distressed, no? (bottom right pic). What a nice card she made for you! Happy Belated Mom’s Day to you.
mom2kiddos recently posted..My Son – A Buaya At 4
Maybe a little bit distressed but when he is older he is going to wish he had a bunch of girls around to take care of him.
Happy late Mother’s day to you too!
As my son will confirm, the most important thing in life truly is donuts. Sounds like you had a fabulous mother’s day!
I think any food covered in sugar is a child’s best friend.
That baby boy looks adorable in his headband. My sister and I used to dress up my brother like that until he got old enough to resist – good times.
Providing doughnuts and other treats are an important part of motherhood!
Thanks for joining my blog

I have officially been dubbed the bringer of donuts although I think I have only bought them 3 times for my daughter in 7 years.
