Spring Break

























I was checking my pictures, and I can tell you that nothing does justice to how much fun we have been having over these couple of days, with Spring break going on. Nothing big, nothing grand. Just the joy of having this little family of ours together, enjoying the weather that was extremely nice for a couple of days. Getting to {finally} see the neighbors after months of hibernation. We even have new neighbors right next to us! Funny, when I went to introduce ourselves, the girl told me "we met before!". Turns out we did, when she came to see the house for the first time. Nicole saw her going in and she insisted that we go there and tell her to buy the house, because it was soooo lonely and needed somebody to love it and take care of it. Yup, that sounds like Nicole! I'm a little surprised that they didn't run out and bought property on the other side of town!

New shoes. Ice Cream treats. New haircuts. Play dates for Nicole, play nights for the whole family. We all jump and play pillow fights in the living room. A lamp gets knocked down, as do all the tables. So, my home won't make it to the cover of BHG, but who cares? We're certainly having fun!

Not much to report, just having a nice, calm, strangly peaceful kind of time!

Isn't it great being able to spend some good quality fun family time together? In this day and age, those times are so few and far between.

By Cesar's eyes, I can tell you guys are having lots of fun. (Looks like he needs some rest.) These are the days the children will remember as their happiest when they grow old. Enjoy them while you can :)

Paula my friend, you have the BEST family! You, in my opinion, are living your life to the utmost fullest extent and spreading that fun, love and joy to your precious offspring. I have no doubt they will live, laugh and love throughout their entire lives.

You contineously show me how Brian is your absolute soul mate and that you both are enjoying life, moving forward and never

God Bless!

Still ALIVE...

... but swamped with fabrics and paint. It's kind of funny, I ordered some fabric online from Joann, and then when it arrived, I really didn't like it. See, I'm making new curtains for the back door (it's one of those sliding doors and we used to have blinds there), new pillow covers (because we got new slipcovers for the couches) and I'm re-upholstering the dinning room chairs. And so, I ordered different fabrics that I thought would match. Very orangy-yellowish, those are the colors we chose for staging the house. Anyways, when I saw the fabric, I was very tempted to return it, but instead, I started the first chair today... And I think it looks AWESOME!!! I just finished cutting all the fabric for the back of the chairs, tomorrow I'll be busy sewing. Can't wait to see the first one finished. I'm actually getting EXCITED! Bought a couple of lamp shades, too, and I'm almost done painting the tables black (coffee and end tables). Of course, the kids ...

We will be having a totally lazy 4 th of July. Brian just came back from his trip last night, and I think he must be needing a lot of rest. He's loving his new job, but since he really is very good at "fixing" accounts, every time he fixes one and he's starting to enjoy the fruits of his work, another one gets "broken", so he has to go in and fix that one as well. It's nice that he gets such a good reputation in his industry, and it's great that he gets to know so many new people, because it's always good to have such a network of contacts, but it's really exhausting. Anyways, a few days ago I went to buy a watermelon, because we all are fans (big time!). We come home, our mouths watering, and we open it to this... WHAT??? Cesar was brave enough to try it, but I just cannot bring myself to eat some yellow watermelon flesh. It does taste the same, but I just couldn't have more than a bite or two. I'll have to give it a try again toda...

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...
