So much work around here

We have been pretty busy around here. For some reason, the work in my home office has been just too much. Lately it feels like every attorney in the are has the need for interpreters in all languages, so it's been pretty challenging to fulfill some of these requests (who in tarnation knows how to speak Hmong????) Each day I've been too tired to make it to my blog. But I'm never too tired to be with these kids of ours that really make my day. As soon as I see Connor or have a minute to really talk to Cesar & Coco, I feel like my day was worth it. Well, some times I want to run away, too. But mostly, I love being with them all.

Let's see if this thing worked. This is Connor having a conversation at the dinner table. Just remember to stop the video on the side ("I can only imagine") in order to listen to these words full of wisdom...

OMG is he just too cute or what?? And you GOTTA LOVE Brian...'So Connor what would you do to solved world peace?" I was dying! Too cute!!! And Let's say I'm not surprised Brian asked that so 'staright laced' - it's so him!!

Thanks for a peek into the Riordan dinner time.......:)

Paula,
the video that you couldn't open on my blog is at YouTube. Do a search for Will Ferrel Pearl.
No kids should be around. :)

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...
