Fabulous Feet!

Silly, aren't we?

Mother's Day

Having three boys should make pretty much ALL my future Mother's Days interesting (to say the least).
I just hope(and pray) that none of my boys sing this one for me......




That said, here is one that made me cry. It was too adorable.......



Here is what Ryan (5) said at his M-Day party at school when asked:
"What does your Mommy do all day?"
"She washes dishes, she makes dinner, takes us to the zoo, she makes breakfast, she washes the house inside, she makes us lunch, takes a nap, she colors and plays with us."
(I think I have only taken them to the zoo once! Likewise for the nap!)

After all the hard work, there is nothing that fills my heart more than the " I love you, Mom"s. It makes it all worth it.

Going Batty!

If you read Jeff's blog lately, you know Kevin is into Batman! Lucky me, I get to post about bats too!

You see this black speck? You guessed it! Say hello to our icky friend. Can't see it too well, eh?

How's this....

You can see he is hanging upside down on our door. See the little claws? See the little ears?

how about this.....

I don't really like the side view any better. Needless to say, After I discovered him, I called the boys to come see and I got up close for these shots. When you have all boys, you are forced to muster up some extra bravery when things like this happen. I hope it doesn't happen again!

Later on, Ryan and I were on the other side of the house and the bat came around and started flying all crazy-like! He was dive-bombing us and circling around us. If the neighbors saw it, they would have thought we were nuts! We ended up running down the driveway screaming!

I think I have had enough of bats for a while!

Except for this one.....

This one is much much cuter!!

A Conversation with Kevin........

Kevin: "Mommy, what are crayons made out of?"
Mom: "Colored wax."
Kevin: "Ear wax?"
Mom: "No, Kevin, like candles."
Kevin: "What are stingrays made of?"
Mom: "What are what made of?"
Kevin: "Stingrays."
Mom: " A Stingray is a kind of a fish."
Kevin: "And they don't have any bones."
Mom: "Uh, I dunno."
Kevin: "Mommy, what are houses made of?"
Mom: "Wood."
Kevin: "What else?"
Mom: "Metal."
Kevin: "What are the chimneys made of?"
Mom: "Bricks."
Kevin: "What are the windows made of?"
Mom: "Glass."
Kevin: "And what are those lines across the windows?"
Mom: "Uh...Window panes."
Kevin: "Because they pain to breathe."
Mom: "No, Kevin. Are you done pooping now? It's time for bed."

Celebremos! Es El Cinco De Mayo!

I figured since it was Cinco De Mayo, it was a good excuse to "spice up" dinner! And have a little fun!

Our Cinco De Mayo Dinner Included:

Soft and Hard beef tacos w/ all the fixins
Spanish Rice
Tostitos & Salsa
Plantain chips
Coconut Soda
Pineapple Soda
And for Dessert: Chocolate Cupcakes.

Unfortunately we did not have any good music to play with dinner. The only thing I could find in Jeff's collection was Reggae or Luau. Not really gonna do it. That's ok. We had a great dinner!
Anybody want to share how you celebrated?

Turn It Up!

So I was driving along the other day, minding my own business, listening to my WOW worship cd, when from the back seat I hear...."Mommy, can you play another cd?" "Sure", I said. So I put in some other cd ( obviously it wasn't a good choice), because I heard..."no, Mommy. Put on some fancy music!"
Ah! ok....(what should I put on?)
So I decided to put in Jeff's cd of this...





I looked in the rearview mirror and saw a huge smile, and heard...." Yeah! That's fancy!!!"

Sorry all you SRV fans, he is now "fancy". Who knew?

Then when we got home, I HAD to bring it inside to listen to it some more. Here is what happened....

The dancing pajamas got a little bit crazy, but we had a lot of fun! Thankfully no lamps were knocked over in the process.

PuertoRico AGAIN!!

Here's some more pictures for ya!

I think this is called an Agava Cactus.

This flower is from the Maga tree.

Oops! That's my strawberry Daiquiri! Moving on......

Some more birds:

This Pelican was diving for fish right in front of us!

The Magnificent Frigate Bird. ( No, I'm mot making that up. It's really the name of it!)

I love the colors of the buildings!

This is the best one of all!
