Kate:

1) Cleaned the deck this weekend without being asked.
2) Apologized and hugged me when she said something mean, without being asked.
3)loves riding her bike

5) let me give her a facial
6) watches chick flicks with me
7)has great friends, who have great parents
8) is sweet and beautiful
9)smart and hardworking
10) she is responsible

Jack:

1) vacuumed without complaining after I asked
2) remembers how to ride his bike
3) hates math but does it anyway
4) loves every other subject
5) always comes up with good comebacks- a real smart a**. (kids made comments at his recent camping trip..as the only Catholic in his troop kids made remarks about the long mass - protestant service was 10 minutes- Jack responded with "I just love God more" and "Well, we get dinner and a movie)
6)Has great friends with great parents
7) still tells me everything, like he did at age 4
8) patient with his sister
9) loves that toad (Skippy McHopster) and turtle (Van Gogh:the 5th ninja turtle Jan 09- March 09) and Van Gogh Doppleganger (May 09-?) I hope I am taking care of them when he is in college.
10) still is sticking with scouts-has the finest character of any 7th grader I know.

I think Jack and Kate are awesome, too. They are great kids which is a real tribute to you, Maria. As Mother's Day approaches take that as your most precious gift - you have raised wonderful children.
