The kids learned a song from their Aunt Brandi in which they sing quite frequently. The words go " when I grow up, I want to be a Mother, and have a family, one little, two little, three little babies in my home....(later in the song)...and I will give them cookies and milk, and yellow balloons" One day Braelynn was singing the song and paused in the middle of it and says "Mom, your not a real mom because you never give up yellow balloons and cookies and milk."
SO, I had planned to do this for them for quite a while and decided to surprise them after school with a ton of yellow balloons and cookies and milk. It was fun. I have decided that I will have "YELLOW BALLOON DAY" at least once a year to remind them that I AM a real Mom!

That was one of my favorite songs growing up! I still love it. That is all I wanted to be!
Oh my gosh, that totally brought back memories. We used to listen to that song too!!!! Love this post!
I used to belt that song out Annie-style 100x a day with my best friend Jenny when I was little. That's pretty funny that your kids took the lyrics literally. You're a sweet mom, Amie! I loved the video ... esp. the grin of pleasure at impressing Mommy.
I haven't heard that song in YEARS!! WOW! We listened to that album over and over. What a fun memory!
