Me? Quirky?
Kim at In a Shoe has tagged me for the 6 Quirky Things meme. It’s been a while since I did a meme, so here goes. The rules:
* Link the person who tagged you.
* Mention the rules in your blog.
* Tell about six unspectacular quirks of yours.
* Tag a new set of six following bloggers by linking them:
I will tag the following people:
1. Audrey at So this is Heaven on Earth
2. Kilikina at Live Each Moment
3. Victoria at Just call my Mommy
4. Shannon at 4 Wild Boys
5. Donna at Blessings of Love
6. JD at Tripping Over Cobblestone
Now for 6 quirky things about me...
1. I butter my tortilla chips from restaurants
2. If I know the song I will sing along. On a movie, tv, radio, where ever
3. I like filing taxes (doesn't matter whos just the act of doing it), balancing the checkbook. Fun Fun Fun!
4. I enjoy playing on my sons Nintendo DS
5. I like the clothes from the 50's you know the full skirts and dresses with full skirts (you know like Donna Reed wore on her show)
6. When are vehicles are having a problem I can tell you what the problem is not. My husband will say "I think that the alternator is going out" and I will tell him no it's not the alternator. I don't know what it is but it's not the alternator. I am usually right but it drives hubby crazy.
Okay that's it. If you want to play along and I didn't tag you go ahead and leave a link to your post in comments so I can come read it.

Motherhood
This is the other photo that represents "motherhood" to me. I am surrounded by all my children some are upset, some happy, some ready to be done, some distracted and some paying attention to things elsewhere. Everyday we see our children in differents moods, with different personalities. Yes, I like the pictures that come out with everyone looking forward at the camera, smilings, but I also like the photos that are less than perfect as they show my children in there true forms, less than perfect. We are all less than perfect and pictures that turn out so with funny faces, and wrong facing show a childs personality and can make for a more endearing photo.
Motherhood
As part of a contest, we were asked to show a picture that represents "Motherhood" to you well I think this does. She was so happy and excited from an Easter day that included church, an egg hunt but here on the blanket outside was so excited from some candy and a water gun, stuffed Peep and some cheap little braclets. This is a happy time in my time as a mother and I think it shows motherhood to me.
Mother's Day Giveaway
5 Mins for Mom is having another giveaway. This time it is a mothers day giveaway. So to enter head over here for all the detail.

Munchkin Giveaway
If you like Munchkin products and would like to win a basketful of them, then head over to New Mommy Rant and enter her contest. Contest ends May 15.
My favorite product of there is the Teething Babies. They are stuffed animals a little smaller than a beanie baby. There hands and feet are teething toys. The stuffed animal makes it and easy thing for a baby to hold and yet provides them a teething toy also. It also provides a soft friend for your baby. My babies loves these.
