Sarcastic Comments....

We were in the car driving home today and my oldest was talking about how it's not fair that she's younger than "everybody" else in her class. Yea, not everybody baby..

"Yea mom, when everyone else is having their sweet sixteen, I'll be having my Quincinetta!"

I laughed so hard at this comment!

Especially since we have no ounce of Spanish or Mexican in our blood.

"Field Day"

Today is "Field Day" at her school.

Which means the Junior High kids get to wear tank tops, flip flops, and even their bathing suits under their clothes if they want to, to school.

After lunch, they all get to go outside and basically play in the water. They have this HUGE water slide (Sue, similar to the one you had), and lots of fun water activities for them.

How fun is that for them!!

I think the most fun for them, is getting to wear tank tops and flip flops! Heehee!

They used to be able to wear flip flops to school, but now they can't. Don't know why they can't, but they can't. Well, at least when she gets into high school, she can wear flip flops every day if she wants to. Unless they change that rule by then...................

Counting Down...............

Soon hubby will be off the ship.

Less than a week left.

Finally we will all be together again.

And then we are going to shoo the kids somewhere so WE can be alone. :::::::::::smile:::::::::::::

Even Still, 26 years later

I was flipping through the channels tonight and E.T. was on Nick At Nite. It was the last 1/2 hour of the movie, so I sat and watched it.

Still, after watching it countless times, I still cry when he comes alive and gets to go home.

Art in the Schools

My oldest is taking art as her elective this trimester at school. They've been working with clay and this is her latest project she brought home:

Isn't is so freakin' adorable??!!!! I love the lips on the fish!!

I'm so proud of her and all her accomplishments!! She's a Straight A Student, has made the All-Stars team for both softball and soccer now, and she has that creative gene inside her to be an artist as well! She wants to learn how to sew this summer, and so I'm going to teach her. I hope that she picks up on it quickly. The only thing she needs to have with it is patience and willing to sit and listen to the little details.

New Cousin

Yesterday we drove up north for the day to go to my MIL's surprise birthday party. While we were there I got to see my newest niece. She's the Christmas baby in our family. We were so excited to meet her and so was my oldest:




She loves babies. She reminds me of me. :)

Even though I spent about 5 1/2 hours driving that day, it was actually a nice relaxing break from our usual, which happens to be softball. Every....single......day..........

Don't get me wrong, I love that she's in All-Stars, but it's definitely something we have to get adjusted to.

Thank goodness hubby will be home in less than 3 weeks though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Party Invitation

My youngest is VERY excited to have her birthday party. Never mind that it's like 4 months until her birthday. She's getting to have it at a place called "Bears, Buddies and Toys". It's like a "Build-A-Bear" place. She so wants to have a sleepover too, but I'm sorry, I'm not going to have a sleepover party for her until she's a few years older. I'm not that crazy. She's even started making invitations though:

Let's just hope this invitation isn't a sign of things to come when she's a grown up........

Tickle Me

Out of my youngest's mouth, who stayed home from school today..............

"You know what would make me feel better? If someone came and tickled me.....but not my feet"

Come on, can anyone resist that???


Yea, neither could I.

All-Stars

This is the face of my oldest who just found out that she made All-Stars for softball. :)
