Camp GonnaWannaFly--Day 2

For those of you who are wondering, we got a little off track today (had to spend an hour or so running an impromptu errand that I couldn't delay any longer--darn!), so we only did about 45 minutes of "fun" cleaning. We played the flylady version of "Freeze Dance." You put music on, and one person sweeps while the other person dusts, and when the person in charge of music pushes pause, the people doing the chore have to freeze. It was SO funny playing with Carlos. He took it very seriously. When he stopped the music, even though he could see that Ashley and I were frozen, he would come right up to our faces and take a very close look. The first time he did it, he peered intently at my face, and after a few moments, pointed his finger at me and said, "Oooh, you're breathing!" I totally lost it and just started cracking up. He took it seriously every time it was his turn. Then, just to mock him (I know, not a nice mommy), Ashley and I would do the same when it was our turn. But he had no clue that we were mocking him, so that makes it okay, right???? (someone say yes!)

Tomorrow Ashley is off to the beach with the Youth Group for the day. I can't understand why she would prefer to spend the day with her peers at the beach rather than having a blast with Carlos and me here at home, but it seems she has made her choice (SO kidding, lol!). So Carlos and I will have Camp by ourselves. It will be a quiet day ... until 4:30 when we pick her up!

YES. you said to say yes. It is ok to poke fun at your kids. I told Christy (christineplatt.typepad.com) that it is a mother's right to do so after giving birth to them. Fair Game!

Missing You

We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

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 ...

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...
