* Help with the landscaping. Cut off the tops of all my mom's tulips as soon as they hit their prime. You see a tulip once, that's all you need, right? Let's not clutter the flower beds.
* Do nice things without being asked. Secretly dump out the dish of sugar that my mom is dipping her strawberries in. Replace it with salt. Enjoy the face she makes when she takes a big bite.
* Use less dishes. Why pour cereal into a bowl when I can just pour milk into the cereal box? Seriously, am I the only one who has thought of this?
* I know it's tough for my mom to see her little baby boy grow up so fast. I want her to remember how little my hands were at this age. I should trace them. With a black sharpie. On the couch.
* Help organize the pantry. I'm not quite sure how my mom makes it without me. For years now (years, people!) she has been putting flour, sugar and rice in 3 different buckets. Think of the space that's been wasted. You should've seen how happy she was about my discovery. Tears of joy, I'm sure.
* Practice using scissors. Those things can be tricky buggers. I couldn't quite get JoceLynn's hair right.
I thought I did a decent job on her hair, but my mom had to take her to a "professional".
Nope, that's not a baby picture of me. That's my sister.
It's hard to tell in this picture, but her hair has started to grow out (6 months later). Still not sure what the big deal was all about.
Sigh. I don't know how my mom is going to make it when I'm gone for half the day. I should think of some extraordinary to do for her before next week.
ooooh my gosh. Erin. I thought my little friends were a handful - that is quite a list Mason has accomplished. I kept thinking that surely it couldn't get worse, and then it did, one after another. very impressive:)
