Mother's day 2012.....

I had a WONDERFUL mother's day this year.  It was the 1st year that A made me something i didn't know about, i was so excited to open it.  He made me wait too, but it was so worth it.  I got to sleep in, when i woke up coffee was brewing and bacon was frying.  Eric made me breakfast while i opened my gifts.  A had a cameo portrait done at school, the boys also got me new Evoo and Vinegar canisters and a lil crocet for my salt.  I spent the day reading the 2nd book to 50 Shades of Grey and when i say the day i mean that literally (i finished the whole book).  My mom got be a great bottle of wine and Belinda and Craig surprised me with some really pretty roses.  We finished the evening with a nice dinner and a great evening.  It was a REALLY good day!

Museum.....

 We took the boys to the museum a couple weeks ago, and as always we had a good time. This time we saw a planetarium show about the planets.  The boys spent a lot of time in the space area this time.  They took advantage of mom and dad's early planning so the place was pretty empty (even for a free day)

The bazooka conversation……

Yesterday morning Rohan and I had a conversation regarding Joseph Kony.  I am wearing a Kony 2012 bracelet I got when I made donation to the Invisible Children network it’s a red string with a silver coin on it that as Kony 2012 and a unique number assigned to each bracelet mine is 1011876.  Rohan asked me what this was about why I was wearing it.  When I explained it to him, he was genuinely interested.  He asked me who Joseph Kony was, why he was a bad guy? Where did he live?  He even asked to see what he looked like.  After we had this talk, we had a BUSY day which included getting into BIG trouble with big brother.  But they also had a birthday party, shopping, running in the rain.  Lots of stuff.  So to my surprise later that night this was the following conversation

“Mom, I need Zook for my collection” Rohan reminds me (Zook is a figure the boys need for their video game Sky landers)

“I know baby, Zook, short for Bazooka, got it”

“What’s a Bazooka” he asks

“It’s a big gun, thingy, daddy what’s a bazooka?”

“It’s a rocket launcher” Eric says smiling, walking into the kitchen

“Oh, I want one of those” Rohan says eyes wide

“Baby, you can’t just have a bazooka, you can go into the military though, I bet they give you one there”

“Military?”

“Yeah, like the Navy, or Army, Marines, air force, I bet you could even join the police and get one there”

“I want to go to the one that gives me a bazooka and then I will go and fight the bad guy in Africa to help those kids”
