Gardening Day

Yesterday, Noni and Pappa came to pick up the kids to give Brian and I some time to finish projects. Brian did a SUPERB job on the garden and the garage... I can't believe I have a garage again! We still can't fit a car in there, true, but at least you can actually WALK without it meaning an almost certain trip to the ER. Bri planted some new flowers, and my garden looks pretty.

Anyways... around 7, Bri called Noni and Pappa and told them we'd head out there, grab a bite to eat, and get the kids. Pappa called back one minute later and announced they're on their way. In all honesty, I was a little hurt (are my kids THAT unbearable???), but hey, I was grateful that they actually did help out.

Half an hour later, they come in, and I hear Connor crying and sobbing! I was worried because I've never heard him cry like that before, so I went down as Pappa got him out of his seat. Connor was still crying, his voice almost gone, his whole body shaking. Pappa picked him up and started pacing around with him. He was so mortified, explaining that he was a happy baby all day, but then he started crying and nothing he did would stop him.

At this point, I was a little scared, because there is no calming Connor. I touched his skin, but he didn't feel warm. Pappa, was still pacing with him in arms, talking to him. Coco was asking what was wrong, getting a little scared, too. Noni comes in, and is also mortified. Thankfully, Brian is picking up some chinese, otherwise he would have fainted.

So I tell Pappa, "Let help you here", and I grab Connor. He sighs a couple more times, and then... silence. We are still trying to figure out what can it be, if maybe he caught my cold, or he has some sort of earache, but then Pappa stares at him and says: "You little Stinker! You're smiling!". Yup, Connor is all smiles and laughs, his usual self. After I held him for a little while, Pappa held him again, and it's our usual Connor... Boy, oh boy! I've created a monster!! (another one?) Can you say Mamma's Boy? Oh, boy, I think I'm in trouble!

found your blog through Kims (Scrap to my Lu)
I have a baby who also does that 'crying thing' where she can't be consoled no matter WHAT unless I hold her! Like you said, Mommy's Baby!! She's 2 now and still, the same thing. Sometimes when she's at my inlaws, she's PERFECTLY happy but then she misses me and it's OVER. Poor babies!!

Looks like Tracie, Gabi, you and me are all blog buddies! :)

How old is your baby? My Lu had to be in MY arms. My husband could hold him for about 30 min, then it was ME ME ME. I actually wore him for the year. Thank God for the Baby Bjorn!

:-) Hi friends!!!! Glad you all connected!

Oh my that Connor Paula!! He IS a mamma's boy!! My boys were so bad, they really love their daddy and they did go through a spell where if I even left to the grocery store they would cry and cry. Thankfully that was short-lived!!

Oooh and nice garden!!! :-)

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t

Before I start my update... I just had to take a picture of Connor. He is such a BOY!!! I think boys are programmed to be goofy... If you have a boy, I'm sure you have found these kids of scenes, pretty much daily! Anyways, this Good Friday I participated in The Way of the Cross celebrated at 3 pm in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic we have in Aurora. I was so glad to see such a large group, it kept growing as the minutes went by. It was pretty cold, and as usual, I was not wearing a sweater or jacket, but it was well worth it. We prayed for the babies being killed, for their mothers and for the doctors and nurses that assist them. May God help them all. As I did this, Noni came to take the kids to decorate eggs. We did decorate some at home on Saturday, too, but Noni's were a lot more dramatic, especially the one with all those feathers! Coco and Connor found some presents from the Bunny on Sunday morning. After church, we went to Noni and Papa's to celebrate with ou

I made this little book that came with my CHS March kit . Now, since my dear friend Tracie in her blog made me very aware of not posting other people's kids on my blog, I can't show all the pages inside, but I made this book to house all those little pictures of kids that exchange school pictures with my kids... I really LOVED it and made it in a night, while Brian watched tv by my side (that was SOOO COOL!) The paper is Scribble Scrabble (the one i bought like a month ago at that store that I found!), cardstock is bazzill, the stamp is by Stampin' Up!, letter stickers by doodlebug, flowers are Prima (are there any others???) Feel the itch to scrap!
