How do I love thee?

Just like every Domestic Goddess (Wife/Mother), I do a lot of things everyday to show my family, especially my kids, how much I love them. I cook for them, I pick up their toys, I hug them when they need it and I laugh at all the jokes. Today I am convinced the biggest sacrifice I make every week is 10 loads of stinky-boy laundry. Man, I love my boyz!

By the way, we had 30-foot waves last week on the North Shore. It was wicked!

Priorities...

So even though laundry, budgeting and dishes are my priority today I had to take a minute to show you this. We had the missionaries, Elders Hatch and Vea, over for dinner on Christmas Eve. In our family we always open up one present on Christmas Eve - pajamas (I know it's not very original.) So I made some t-shirts for the missionaries to open. Here is the cool part. They actually sent us a Thank You note. I have never in my 10 years of feeding missionaries gotten a thank you note. So, in honor of the mothers who taught these boys right - here it is, the First-Ever-Missionary-Thank-You-Note.
