My favorite thing about Mother’s Day yesterday?
Driving with all the windows down…
singing “Hey Soul Sister” with Mallory…
into our thumb microphones.
I was smiling from my head to my toes, seeing my big girl in my rear-view mirror, rocking out with her mama.
Carson piping in with a little “heeeeeyyyyyyyy” at the right times was just the cherry on top.

An afternoon to remember
Big afternoon for Mallory today!
We broke out the pottery wheel that Grandpa gave her for her birthday. I’d told her she had to wait until it was warm enough to do it outside and today was the day. We failed miserably trying to make anything out of the clay. I’ll make Rick try again with her tomorrow.
Mallory tried rollerblading for the first time today too. She was PETRIFIED at first but quickly got brave and made her way up & down the sidewalk with both me and Rick. She was so proud of herself.
This isn’t really a “first” but it’s …
But it’s FINE!
Any morning that I leave for work and the kids are up, they want to wave at me from the front door – so after I pull out of the garage and start up the street, I have to stop and turn on the overhead light in my awesome mini-van and wave and blow kisses for about 10 seconds before I can continue on my way to work. Some days I’m in such a hurry that I forget to stop and wave and usually Mallory calls me in TEARS because I forgot to wave to her & Carson.
This morning I …

And since I am not remotely a baker, I bought refridgerated chocolate chip cookie dough, and a box of yellow cupcake batter, and Mallory & I went to town. You may not think these look that awesome, but believe me, they are. And I will be making them again soon. Perhaps for the game this weekend.
I do have this to say – apparently that I’m better at taking pictures …
That’s my girl!
She may not look like me but she is her mommy’s daughter, falling asleep reading a People magazine.
Mad Scientists
It was Rick’s birthday yesterday and we had some friends meet us out for a little bowling party. I will admit that my four year old daughter beat me in the first game (hey – she had bumpers and one of those ramp thingies) but I came back strong in the second game. But that’s not the point of the story.
It’s sort of hard to watch all of these Fish kids grow up so fast. I love watching them all be such great friends. Mallory and Kaylie (of “Kaylie’s Kloset”, the source of most of Mallory’s cool clothes) are HYSTERICAL …
