Favorite Things

Image
By
Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh:
  • my family
  • Starbucks with friends
  • reading blogs :)
  • parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh?
  • bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!)
  • My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!)
  • breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!)
  • my new XTi :)
  • Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!)
  • scrapbooking (digital and regular)
  • Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it)
  • women friends in general
  • the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourage the mispronouciation by repeating it after him :-D
  • when my kids have teachers who "get" kids Hi Debbie! and Matt!--if you are even reading this :-D
  • God (He totally has a sense of humor, doesn't he?!)
  • ThelPioneerlWoman--thanks, Teena ;)
  • hugs from my "babies"
  • NoiselNinja (thanks to Dave Peeters!)
  • when I get to witness other people poking fun at Ashley :) (you know who you are!)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

By
Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee

"Cool" Lunch

By
I usually make Ashley take her lunch three days out of the week (she "gets" to buy on the other two days, even though she doesn't actually eat the food--part of the whole "fit in with the crowd" issue) . I was having a SERIOUSLY hard time getting her to bring her lunch, and it occurred to me one day that if she took "fancier" sandwiches, she might not fight it so much. So ... I started making Chicken Salad and getting various toppings (she likes the jars of roasted peppers, pepperoncinis, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, etc.) as well as buying bolillos or other fancier sandwich breads. That went over well. It went over so well that her friends would ask for a taste, and rave about how yummy the sandwich was. They were actually jealous of Ashley's lunch (yeah! now she won't be the "geek" who brings her lunch; she'll be the girl who brings cool lunches--mission accomplished and then some!) . One of her friends I know rather well, because
