Happy Mother's Day!

Here's my gift from Robbie, made in class this week and brought home in the backpack. A painted "treasure chest" craft box, adorned with foam cut-out stickers. Inside the box was a folded note, also in the picture. It says, "Happy Mother's Day" with his signature on one side, and on the other he attempted to draw me and Noel, and possibly someone else. Cub, perhaps? When asked, he said the unidentifiable object was a mistake. Ouch! Red remains one of his top color choices (he's still a big fan of the bird house we painted last year). Robbie is quite fond of this box and tends to forget it's actually mine. :)
Like last year, the annual list of the most popular baby names in the country were announced late last week. Thanks in part to the Twilight phenomenon, Jacob holds steady at the top for boys. A disturbing trend..."Cullen" is making it's way into the charts as a boy's name. (I'm told that this is Twilight's Edward's last name.) Seriously? Naming your dog or ferret that - OK. But your child??
