Today I am 27.

Today I am 27.

Today Landon woke up at 1am to scream Happy Birthday to me and then cuddle me in bed just to let me know how much he loves me.
Today I put Landon back in his own bed at 4am, just to make sure I could still love him.
Today I heard Cooper whispering from his bedroom at 7am "shh... guys it's mommy happee budday. dos mommies happee budday boons."
Today at 8am my children pummeled me in bed "Mom! You no be sleepin! It's happee time! It's your burfday!"
Today I thought I had a headache.
Today Landon got put back in bed at 8:30 because he wouldn't stop screaming.
Today Cooper colored me a beautiful happy birthday picture, he used markers. It's hanging on our fridge.
Today Landon won't stop screaming.

Today I took a shower... and Landon joined me.... and then Kameryn. (Cooper was too busy coloring his picture)
Today, immediately after showering, Landon pooped on the family room carpet. Then rubbed it all over himself and the Handy Manny toy. And then tracked it through the house trying to find me. (I was getting dressed. Should have dressed the boy first.)

Today I scrubbed poop out of my family room carpet. And off the Handy Manny toy.

Today Cooper tells me I'm getting a cooker thing to cook things in.
Today the little Elmo toy keeps saying "Keep, keep, keep, keep trying! That's correct!"
Today I'm wondering why we still have that Elmo toy.

Today I'm worried my house smells like poop.

Today my favorite color is gray.
Today Kameryn is singing made up songs to herself in the sun porch. I think right now it's about petshops and it's to the tune of Angels We Have Heard on High
Today my house is clean. (Yesterday my house wasn't clean)
Today my house probably won't stay clean with out extreme effort on my part. ;)
Today I love strawberry shortcake.

Today I wish I was pregnant.

Today I plan on wearing makeup and maybe curling my hair. (gasp!)
Today I plan on my husband and my little men being completely smitten with me.
Today I love belting Glee songs at the top off my lungs. I especially like it when my kids join me.
Today I feel kind of old... and out of shape. (Wii fit tells me I'm 42. What the heck?!)
Today I feel very blessed.
Today I'm grateful for motherhood and small children.

Today I'm hoping my new nerd glasses come in. I'm so excited.

Today Landon broke my favorite Scentsy when he pulled the table down on top of himself.
Today I'm grateful Landon wasn't hurt.
Today Kameryn dumped an entire Tupperware of soup all down the front of her. 5 minutes before she had to leave for school.
Today we decided to have egg salad sandwiches for lunch instead of soup. :)

Today I dream of being cooler and having it all together.

Today I'm grateful for the chaos that will always prevent me from having it all together.
Today my favorite song is "Why Don't we Just Dance" - Josh Turner.
Today my favorite flowers are tulips, which are planted in every patch of dirt in my yard and are starting to peek up out of the ground.
Today tulips are also on my dining room table, by the kitchen sink, and next to the tv.
Today I'm grateful for a beautiful and completely girly little girl who reminds her Daddy to buy me tulips because they are my favorite.
Today I like to read Christian Romance Novels.... what? I do.

Today I think it would be fun to play some tennis.

Today Landon is learning how to color with markers. He is also learning the fine skill that is body art.
Today I think I'll take Brandon up on his offer to take me out to lunch. (at Olive Garden!!!)
Today I'm excited for tomorrow when we start digging for our windows.
Today I want to play Super Mario Bros with my husband. I'm getting better.
Today my kids are trying to glue together my broken Scentsy.
Today (and everyday) I love my children to absolute pieces and I wouldn't trade one second of this.

Today is a good day.

Today is a happy day.

Today I am 27, and I thought it might be cool (for me and my kids) to look back later and see exactly what it was like.

Happy Birthday Me!
