Just a few observations about these days...



I love to see the snow falling. I can sit and just watch it fall... isn't it pretty?



This is Connor having breakfast. Yes, that is a CANDY CANE that he had for breakfast yesterday. Nope, his daddy didn't see this (Brian already says I am a softy... I'm NOT telling him!;)


And Coco's breakfast? GARLIC BREAD!!! She's kind of weird. Well, what can I say? She's a Weirdan, after all!


And this is Cesar, being as geeky as it gets... He got several gift cards, and what did he go and buy??? LEGOS! The best part, is that he was playing with them. Seriously. He had them fighting each other, and going at each other with their swords. Nope, Coco, Connor, Brian or I were not playing with him. All by himself. Geek.


I found this paper that Coco did at school around Thanksgiving time. It's just the cutest thing. It reads:

"How to cook a turkey from the kitchen of: Coco

Ingredients:
Turkey
Corn
Bred (sic)
Flower (flour)

Directions:
Put them in a pot.
Mix them together.
Bake at 10 degrees for 5 minutes.
Eat with family"

I'd have to add: Call 911 as soon as the meal is over...


And finally, I scrapped today! This is "Beach Buddha". nope, we are not buddhists, we are Christians by the grace of God... but Connor's belly in this pix looks just like a Buddha statue, we were all laughing about it.

If I don't get back to the Bloggeroo before the end of the year, have a very Happy New Year!!! I'll pray for many blessings for you and your family! Lots of hugs, my friends!

Keep up the wonderful blog MY FRIEND!! MISS YA!!!

I'm so jealous of your snow! How wonderful. We lived in the mid-west for many years as a kid so all my snow memories are only happy. I never really had to deal with it much as an adult.

I love the cook the turkey at 10 degrees. So Awesome.

I´m sending you the hospital bill. There´s no 911 service in here. Tell Coco she´s absolutely adorable, and that we love her and miss her a lot. Tio Pepe sends her a kiss. You´re my hero . Latetly it seems like a miracle to see a pic of Cesarín in your blog, but this one is priceless. And Conorcín looks amazing. Please, kiss them all for us and tell them pretty often how much we love them and miss them, so they won´t forget us. We love you guys. Happy (LATE) Holidays !!!!!!!!!

Marisa.

PS. Your backyard looks great, i miss the snow, not as much as i miss my family, but i do. Whenever you have time make a snowangel for me. Would you?

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

Plank Jr. High

Last Thursday, Cesar had his Jr. High open house. It's a brand new school, so everybody was sooo excited to go to this new place. The original plan was for Brian to be here and take him, or for all of us to go, but Brian, of course, was sent to the Indiana office at the last minute, so he couldn't get here on time. And that left ONLY the option of mom taking him and his friend Aaron to the open house... With the two li'l ones in tow, mind ya! I was sooo aggravated, because I felt that Cesar was soooo embarrassed to walk around with Coco and Connor, and me. I had to bring myself back to his age, to try to understand that I, too, wanted my parents to leave me alone, but not VERY alone :) I just wanted to feel like a grown up, and my parents all the time around me made me feel so much like a kid. Of course, at 11 you feel like a woman already (naturally!) In any event, I really wanted Brian to be there, to walk with me and help me with the kids in the neverending sea of noisy
