Great weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend at the Pierce household! Mimi aka Tanya aka Len's mom came to visit! My kids LOVE Mimi and were so excited to have her at our house for the weekend. Saturday was the Coronation and Winter Semi-Formal dance which the drill team sponsors, so Mimi came in to help out with my kids. We got to have lunch with Chance and Jenn, lots of fun visiting, and tons of Mimi time. Good times! Also, Kerrigan got her diamond earrings! Mimi got some pictures of that so I will post them when I get a copy.

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful mother-in-law. I know that a lot of people suffer through their in-laws at holidays, make nice, and then gripe and moan to whomever will listen, but I have to say that God has smiled down on me in that department. And I am thankful! My kids are blessed with two WONDERFUL grandmothers. (OK, I know that sounds like sucking up, but I really mean it!)

Now I have to share a story. I am using this blog as a diary for myself to remember all the funny things that go on in my life as much as a post to keep the world informed on my insane life, so you will just have to bear with me as I share. I was reading Jane E's blog and she was telling of her "turtle" like kids. Us moms all have the tell our kids to HURRY UP at least 100 times a day, so I was feeling her pain when I was reminded of this story:

Little Rich, who is Len's youngest brother, is 12 now. When he was about 4, we spent a lot of time together. He was a hoot, and you never knew what he was going to say. Being a typical kid, he was always dragging his feet and I would always tell him he was slow as molasses! (Funny thing is I tell my own kids that all the time now!) One day, I was trying to get him to get in the car quickly and kept telling him to hurry up. He looked at me and said "Keri, am I still slow as your a** is?" He thought all along that I was saying he was as slow as my-a**-is! How funny is that?
