{sunday surprise}

I've said it before
and I'll say it again;
I am Not Above Bribing My Children.
And this weekend brought with it a doozie.

Now let me start off by telling you
that I am not the luckiest of people.
I don't win prizes, contests,
or anything else based on chance.
I'm what you'd call a run-of-the mill non-winner.
{notice I didn't say loser...totally on purpose}

But I do get a lot of junk mail in my inbox,
that, I am awesome at acquiring without effort.
For whatever reason, I read one a few weeks ago
from a local radio station's weekly email.
"Visit this site and enter your email..." the message said.
So I typed, I submitted, I won.


Not only tickets for free,
but the best bribe the mother
of two little girls could dream of.
They had no idea what they were working towards,
but a daily reminder of a very special surprise
kept them squarely on their toes.

So, after a very well-behaved day at church,
they found new outfits waiting at home.



And that my friends, is how I became mother of the year.
At least for today.
