my mom

my mom is here!  you know what that means, right?  really good food, a really clean house, trips to the park with otis, various outings to different stores for things that i must have... a proper mop bucket, toys for otis, random grocery items, etc...  did i mention all of the things she brings up with her?  outfits for the boys, books for the boys, musical keepsakes for the boys, spaghetti sauce, whole wheat pasta, a sleeve of plastic cups, meat from allens bros, and tennis balls for otis.  she's funny in different ways and all together wonderful - it's a real treat.  she washed the leaves on one of my plants - apparently it's leaves are brown and dying because they can't breathe through the dust collecting on them.  this visit is just a short one, but the next one will be really special!
