It’s Monday Listicles time. This week is kid edition. The assignment was to list ten reasons why being a child is great. Or why it is not. It was up to us, so we talked to our kids.
We know our kids are some of the luckiest, most blessed kids on the planet. Pretty much everything about being a kid in one of our families rocks. When we asked them about their childhoods, most of them declined to comment (they were too busy running around enjoying this gorgeous spring weather), but we did hear some mutterings and complaints about the “stupid blog.” So, we’re going with that.

Head on over to Monday Listicles and read some other great blogs. Or better yet, write your own list and link it up.
Awesome! Especially number 10, I have been accused of that as well. I have also been known to ask my kids if they could make their statements in 140 characters or less.

Brilliant. We hadn’t thought of having then edit themselves for Twitter!
I love the less than 40 characters or less made me snort. Ha! Erin

The cards are funny…yet they make me sad too. Maybe I’m too emotional right now to experience only one at once. 🙂

Don’t be sad. These are so tongue-in-cheek that we are lucky we didn’t poke holes through the sides of our faces. 🙂
I’m so pinning all of these!
Pin the love, and the dinners, and the crafts!
OMG i’m in tears. #tears
these are so damn funny. each and everyone of them. #seriously
i’m not sure which is my favorite.
Totally loving these. They are funny. And my husband does make me take photos of his dinners which end up a bit luke warm 🙂

I don’t understand. #doesnotcompute
Silly rabbit. I think you could have written these yourself. Erin ; )
Oh, this is too funny!! I am always stealing my kids’ genius for blog posts – what else what I write about?! I did manage to make sugar cookies with my 2 year old this am (before he got bored and went to play cars). That must earn me some serious blog time later, right?? 😉
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was hysterical and sadly, they all apply at my house too. Our poor neglected children, it’s truly tragic. Ha! Thanks for the laugh today ladies, I needed it.

LOVE your list. What a great take on it. I might have to pin all of those 🙂 You are hysterical, lady!!
Number two is absolutely.the.BEST. Isn’t that what we do? 🙂

Glad you like it. We wrote it while Ellen was driving to pick up her brood, and I was making dinner, correcting homework, and guiding a project. Didn’t quite know how to make that into an eecard, but this is how we roll. ; ) Erin
Too Funny. Genius. And my children would agree with all.

We bloggy moms have to stick together. If our kids ever found each other, there could be an uprising. Erin
I just loved this!! I am always saying to the kids, “do you mind if I use this?” The worst though was when my oldest accused me of giving up on the annual taking of the Christmas card picture after 20 different tries: You have never given up before, you are just doing this so you have something to write about. I always knew that kid was brilliant! So glad I found you on Twitter, now happily following you and look forward to reading more!

Thanks! Look forward to checking out your blog. Can’t wait to read about the Christmas Card. ; ) Erin
these are hilarious! once my kid said in front of everyone at a birthday party when i told her not to eat the giant, beautifully decorated cookie in the goodie bag (y’know for her health, since she had just had cake) “are you going to take a photo for your blog first?”
That is the best “My MOM blogs” story I have heard yet!! Thanks! Erin
So funny! 🙂 I am close to being someone described on this cards!

Thanks! My kids actually had fun helping me make the someecards. Although the 13 y/o and I did have a stare down over the computer on Sunday because she needed to finish her physics project. Consequently, I was finishing the post at midnight. 🙂 Ellen
Bahahahahaha! This is awesome!
Audrey recently posted..1st Guest Post
Hahahaha! Seriously, best post ever!! It’s kind of sad that I have had to tell a kid to wait a couple of minutes to use the computer for homework because I am “working” on something! Such a great list!
Thanks!
Oh my gosh! This is my favorite list this week!!
xoxoxo

This is so funny, so true and so sad! Ha! Not THAT sad. Just a little bit sad. I’m guilty of just about it all! Let’s get in one big support group!
(Thanks for linking this up to #findingthefunny last week!)

A support group sounds lovely. If by support group you mean a girls night out with plenty o’ wine and/or ‘ritas. We love #findingthefunny! Ellen
