One of the bonuses (not) of being a single mom is that when your birthday comes, there isn't anyone to take your kids shopping for your birthday presents from them, so you get to. (PLEASE note - I'm not having them buy me presents for ME, but so that they learn about giving)
So tonight, we were in the car, and I said "Okay girls, if I gave you each $25 to spend on Mommy's birthday present, what would you get."
Essie - "Hmmm.. I would get you picture frames and plaid wrapping paper to wrap them in."
Awwwwwwww what a sweetie.
Gert - "A Honda"
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE IT.
It cracks me up when kids are just vaguely out of touch with the real world. Like when the five year old I nanny for asked me if Spain was between Washington and Montana.
Um, no. But I wish.
I like the way both of those girls think! lol So when's the birthday? Happy Birthday just in case! =D
Go the Honda!
Now that's what I'm talking about!
Did she tell you what color or will that be a surprise?
Their innocence is so beautiful and refreshing.
Too cute!! LOL LOL
My sister is a single mom and has that issue too. Usually her gift is the boys not trying to kill each other that day :)
Love that Essie knows about your plaid obsession. And, love that Gert is going to pick up a $25 Honda!
Ok remeber my birthday is next month. And I want my Honda to be black.
Ok thanks.
SA-WEET!
Does Gert know I just had a birthday?! She can pass a new car in my direction any day :)
Well, I will say that having a husband who loves you does not necessarily equal having kids who get you birthday presents. Which is not at all to negate the challenges of being a single mom. I would, however, feel REALLY funny taking my kids to get me a present. So every now and then when I want to splurge on something, I just call it my birthday present.
That said, I hope you have a very happy one, and that your own car is more reliable than a $25 Honda. :-)
If anybody could get you a Honda for $25 it would be Gert.
Happy Birthday!!
Go with Gert! Happy Birthday!!
I would like to know where I can pick up one of those $25 Hondas. Momma needs a new pair of wheels!
A Honda. Ha ha ha. Bless her little heart...
If only $25 could get you a Honda. Very sweet!
LOL! That is going to be one nice Honda.
awwww kids are sooo sweet!!!
That Gert, she's got good taste in cars!! :-) And Essie, well, what a sweetie. You've trained her well!
Oh, I pay myself presents for some things being a single mama myself. Nothing big, but just a little something.
And I must know where I can get a new car for $25...share! ;)
Hahahaha!! I left you a present on my blog. :)
That reminds me of when Miss Pink thought our house cost $22.
Ha, ha, ha!! A Honda?
Hey, can I get one too?
actually today I got a CLEAN honda for my birthday! the boys vacuumed and wiped it out!!
I came over to wish you an early birthday...Happy Birthday to the absolutely sweetest and most beautiful blogger inside and out that I know! Big hugs and kisses to you!
So sweet! And that girl is a bargain shopper. Can I borrow her?
Wishing you the BEST Birthday ever!
Happy Birthday tomorrow! Make sure you do something fun, even if it's just simple with those cute girls.
A plaid Honda!
With the economy the way it is, she might just be able to pick up a stripped down Civic for you.
What thoughtful children - plaid wrapping paper - sweet!!!
A Honda, that is too cute. Did she specify a CRV?
