A couple of weeks ago I decided that I was tired of being the task master at home so I let Leah be Mommy for the day. That meant she had to do all the things I would normally do in a day. Well...she started off screaming for everyone to fix their own breakfast and shouted,"Where's my belt!". I responded with, "Now Leah, I make oatmeal for breakfast just about everyday and I usually don't scream for the belt until bed time...be for real".
After she bossed everyone around all morning we went to the pool and she didn't fix enough snacks for everyone...so I ate her portion and when she got out of the pool looking for a snack, I told her she didn't get any because mommy always makes sure her kids eat first....boy was she mad...so mad she cut our trip to the pool short and we went home.
Later that evening we made this scrapbook page, because I took this quiz earlier in the day and she had to do everything I did so here it is.
Funniest thing about her day as Mommy was when Jonathan asked (with much excitement I might add) if he could be Daddy for the day so he could, "Go to work and come home and JUST watch T.V.!"
Too funny Lisa! Great idea for a page.
