Muddah

I picked up the kids from school today. Once I had John in the car he said to Gillian and I, “I need to talk to Gillian before dinner. In private.” Gillian said “I got my Muddah’s day present in my bag. And you can’t have it until Muddah’s day. On Muddah’s day you have to be nice to your Muddah!” I’m giggling because I know what is going to happen next. John says “Shhh, Gill we will talk at home.” Gillian said “It’s a handprint!” John said “I she said ‘It’s a present.'” To keep the peace, I said “That’s what I thought John.” Gillian said “No. It’s a handprint. And it’s pink. Cause Mommy likes pink. It’s for Muddah’s day!” “Gill! You’re ruining it!” I told him to calm down and that nothing was ruined and that I will love whatever you give me. 

When we got home, they ran upstairs and locked themselves in John’s room until dinner. I love that they are so excited about trying to surprise me (and I love how Gillian says mother).
