The “Mommy Sandwich” is another one of the many things I love about being the Mother of my girls. 
What is it you ask…well, let me start with the reason I am writing this post…
This morning I was up earlier than usual. Normally, my youngest is the first up and lets the whole house know it is time to rise. I beat her today. LOL. After I puttered around a bit and even checked some emails, I went in and woke the sleepy birds up…
The conversation that follows:
Teenager: (Some long groan sound)
Princess: “Good morning Mommy” (rubs eyes)
Me: “Rise and shine”
Teenager: (More groaning.)
Princess: “Hey, we didn’t get to do Mommy Sandwich!” (she said this quite indignantly)
Teenager: (suddenly perky) “OK, Mom, get your butt back in bed. We want our Mommy Sandwich!”
Me: “No. I have a lot to do today. Hence why I was up so early.”
Teenager and Princess in Unison: “We want our Mommy Sandwich!”
Me: *sigh* “Fine, but only for a minute!”
Both: “YEAH!”
Covers are grabbed. I climb back into bed. Mommy Sandwich time. OK, so, what is it? LOL! Well, it is an invention my two girls came up with. When Princess was getting older and the competition began; to be with me, next to me or in my general vicinity, I had to inform them that I had two arms to hug with. One for each of them.
Soon, it progressed into each of them crawling into my bed…one on each side and me in the middle. They are the “bread” and I am the “filling.” Thus began the term…“Mommy Sandwich!”
Oh, and recently my little one informed me I cannot have anymore children because I would ruin the Mommy Sandwich! ROFLMBO!!
And there you have it!

That’s cute! Sometimes I let my little girls sleep with me and I have to be in the middle. That is such an inventive way to put it. I’ll have to tell them next time that it is a Mommy Sandwich. LOL!
