Beloved Pet

I read some short inspirational stories to the kids during dinner, among them this one.... "The children begged for a hamster, and after the usual fervent vows that they alone would care for it, they got one. They named it Danny. Two months later, when Mom found herself responsible for cleaning and feeding the creature, she located a prospective new home for it. The children took the news of Danny's Imminent departure quite well, though one of them remarked,"He's been around here a long time, we'll miss him" "Yes", Mom replied, "But he's too much work for one person,and since I'm that one person, I say he goes". Another child offered,"well maybe if he wouldn't eat so much and wouldn't be so messy , we could keep him". But mom was firm. "it's time for take Danny to his new home now", she insisted "Go and get his cage". With one voice and a tearful outrage the children shouted, "Danny? we thought you said Daddy!" ....funny enough I was the only one laughing while my children looked at me with puzzled faces. I know, I have a unique sense of humor. Hah!

Mother's Day

Had a great Mother's day ... spend the day with good friends and family, we watched "We bought a Zoo", barbecued and treated ourselves to smores.

Fun Fest Day

Family Festival at Wolf Creek Pen Park. Live country music by Rodney Atkinson.

Projects

Did a little work on refinishing the windows,I guess I should have taken some pictures of the before so you could appreciate the "in between" and then really appreciate the "after", oh well, it was an after thought. Leire strolled in right where I was working when I had all the tools and pieces of sheet rock on the floor and dust mud everywhere and said "Oh no, your making a mess again!", " Your such a mess maker"... hah!.. she's probably heard that once too many times from mommy:-)

Pampering my girls

Lazy Sunday afternoon, the girls and I treated ourselves to pedis and facials... Baba took ocasional bites at her cucumber, she looked so cute all green.

Central Park,CS

Almost a year later..we are still alive, guilty of trading blogging for Facebook, but history repeats itself...and we are back. Enjoy! Kids and I had a blast this weekend, first weekend in a long time that I have skipped work :-)so we went to feed the ducks, play basket, had picnic and I even attempted to making through the monkey bars... I was sorely defeated by my 7 year old.
