I've been tagged in a 6X6 Meme from over at The Adventures of the Headless Family. Now My family isn't exactly headless but I don't post them much. So first the rules. I had to modify to suit my computer folders. I didn't have 6 folders in Photos, pictures or on my desktop! But I did the next best thing, I took my 3 which is 1/2 of 6, then picked, 6, and 6 and then another 6 until I got to this beauty!
This is my Kyoot(cute) Mom, yep this is a mom of 5 kids! doesn't look it at all does she? Well this past Christmas we didn't get to go home. We like to go home for Christmas mostly because it's only 7 hours away but this past year we passed because the year before we got in a bit of a car accident. I didn't want to be on the roads again and slip sliding away through our Christmas Vacation (cue the National Lampoons, "BEST DAMN CHRISTMAS..." Quote) but the beauty of the internet is that we get pictures of what's going on. This is the gift that my Brother and his Girlfriend bought for my tea addicted mother. It's not actually a Tea cup, it's a planter for herbs,(not those) there is even a picture of herbs on the side, but I thought WOW! this is perfect! She could MAKE tea in this thing and have a 1/2 dozen people over for tea. Our Gift was not so genius!Gift cards cost very little to mail, Canada Post should be more Postage friendly and charge less, I'm just saying. My Brother is very inventive and thoughtful, he is a details person much like myself, he remembers things you've told him forever ago. I thought this was genius! He's also my youngest Brother. I've mentioned him before over here...
You know this woman was genius too, she has 5 kids,(I'm the favorite of course, she'll kill me if she ever learns how to google!) and we all know how busy a woman with kids is?and she worked and actually still works as an RN. She worked it so that 3/5 Birthdays were all on the same day. The day I got my Babysitting assignment I turned 9, but had to wait for my littles to grow up and me to mature. Genius! why plan 3 different parties when you can plan 1, why buy 3 cakes when you can just make a double layer into a triple layers. It's all on how you spin it.
Now it's time for the Tagging!

Love the tea cup, what a waste to use it as a planter. I could make 1 cup of tea, and be set for the day. That is as long as it's microwave safe, I'm always forgetting about/misplacing my tea!
Great job, I was tagged the other day.
i have a planter like that too! mine is more of a coffee cup thought and i put periwinkles in mine. your mom looks like a hoot!
She is that! :) now that I've posted her I'll have ot post more pics of her with me from the early days... hahha heheehe
Thanks for playing along!
What an awesome gift & what a great story you told! And thanks for the tag :)
I can't wait to read the tagged posts. :)
No way, 3/5 of her kids were all born on the same day? That's INSANE!So you're the favorite, eh? My brother is my mom's favorite but she'd never admit it.
Yowsa! I love the teacup picture! Sounds like you grew up in a large household. Makes me wonder how those(our!) moms did it.
And thanks for tagging me ~~~ it may take me a day or two to post; but I'll let you know when it is up!
i love that tea cup planter thing! great picture :)
Love the cup -- Your mom is pretty! Love her expression.
I forgot to tell you I did mine. I've been in the pool all day.
I love that!!! Not only does she look way excited about her gift but it is a WAY cool gift!!! Great picture!!!.....and haha herbs...my mind so didn't even go there until I read that!
I must be the favorite, she had 4 more after me, I must have been a gem? This was fun, I like seeing whateveryone has squirreled away on their computers.
I really love Mom's reaction it just screamed, "perfect" :)
My brother and sister are twins, she didn't have much of a choice on splitting that birthday up, LOL
What a great mom and a super gift! I love the herb thing. You're hilarious!
Reminds me of my mom and her addiction to teapots. For a while, it was my go to gift until she ran out of space to put them. Now, I'm back to bookstore cards and gift cards for her quilt shop for fabric. No imagination, but it makes her happy.
Dude, that a huge teapot. I could make that into a coffee cup and live happily for the rest of my life!!
I like this 6x6 idea!
It's all about what makes the mommy happy, right? The Teacup is huge! but it's full of plants now.
I love that picture! Princess Nagger wanted me to get one of those giant teacup planters when she saw them one day - but I knew she'd fill it up with chocolate milk or sprite or something that would make a huge mess... ;)
That's too funny that your mom 'planned' things so that 3/5 birthdays were on the same day - genius! My brother and sister are twins, and their b-day is 3 days after mine, but we always celebrated all 3 birthdays on mine instead...I didn't like it so much as a kid, but when I got older it was so much more convenient! ;)
I totally missed that you tagged me - I'll create a post sometime this week to play along! ;)
I think you have to blame ME for this one!!! I tagged Skye (Debbie to you) and she tagged Headless!!!
So if Mom finds this I'll send her you way. :)
