Shame on me the second time...

Okay, this time I knew I was putting too many bubbles in. Add a raucous boy. And stir.

What a mess!! But so much fun!

Bubbles...

After 7 months I finally figured out how to operate the jacuzzi tub in my bathroom. What I have not figured out yet is the correct amount of bubbles to put it.

Rest in peace, Patsy. You are in our hearts always.

Couldn't wait to get my hands in the dirt...

We woke up this morning to the sound of many geese flying over our house.....coming home after the long winter. It was like a band of trumpets welcoming the morning. I loved it.

I am going crazy in my garden. I hoped outta bed, fed the kids and then got my hands in the dirt for about 6 hours. I may be too sore to brush my teeth tonight but it is wonderful therapy.

I feel so alive, so deeply grateful and so inexpressibly content. Thank you, God!

And again...

Oscar told me this morning that a zillion things in our house are made out of china. All his toys and his Star Wars guys and the kitty's food bowl.....all "made outta China". I thought he meant glass china...not the large nation in East Asia.

He suggested we should send some things their way from Michigan. Amazing that a 7-year old can recognize the U.S. trade deficit with China.

funny...

Here is our conversation from the other morning...

Angelica: Mommy, I have good news!
Me: Oh yeah, what is it?
Angelica: I am not allergic to butterflies any more!

Me thinking....????????????????????????????????

Me (trying not to laugh): That is awesome, Angelica. I am so glad!
Angelica: Yeah, but Oscar is still allergic to pickles.


She seriously makes me laugh out loud several times a day!



Our weather has been beautiful. So on Monday night after dinner, Oscar was out riding his bike. Angelica decided she wanted to ride a 2 wheeler. So I got the tools out and took her training wheels off. I told her to hang on a second and I would help her. I turned around and she was gone. Unbelievable! She got on that bike and rode away. She crashed into a mailbox and I ran to help her...but then she was off again.

Oscar is equally spectacular! We all had a blast on our little holiday. The kids swam and we all relaxed.




Hope you are all well and enjoying Spring!

oh, the horror...

Happy birthday, Reid

We had a very nice time last week celebrating my nephew Reid's birthday. These kids are so precious!!! I love them so much it hurts! :-)

Megan, the artiste, made his castle birthday cake. The photo doesn't do it justice...it was darling!

Other news. I am so happy to tell you guys that they found a 100% match donor for my neighbor!!!!! They are thinking about starting a blog: Craig's Lift. Isn't this a great name!?!?!?
