You get the picture right? I guess I can add "multi-lingual" (one language per kid) to my MOM resume! With that on my resume I am definitely a contender for "Mom of the Year 2011"! You know the kind of award that is passed out for all the wrong things you do as a mom! I have already reached my quota for 2010! (well maybe I can find room on the shelf for one more award this year!)
One thing I hope doesn't get lost in translation...
Happy Birthday Shane!
We love you!

That is funny...and it does totally drive you nuts...you know what I think helps - yelling! And then my kids will say why do you have to yell because you didn't here the first 3 time that I asked you nicely...why is that?
Ah, the Mom life. Thanks for translating for me, I hadn't learned their language yet. I just thought I died and they couldn't hear me anymore.
That is so funny and so true! You still have your funny even though you are far away!
