Carlos proves he is still a cool guy, even when he’s not awake!

Fun with the Camera
Goofed around after family dinner tonight…mostly it was fun, until Carlos had major attitude and stormed off. Then it was bedtime, always fun.
Happy Birthday, Mama Dee
It’s Dee’s birthday and we’ve been trying to do our best to spoil her. We had Sawatdy’s thai food (YUM!) for dinner and I baked her a chocolate zucchini cake at her request. The boys have been excited all day and they even sang to her at the breakfast table this morning, she was already at work but they were practicing for the “real” singing with the cake.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA DEE, hope it was a great one!
Pumpkin Patch
Got up this morning, inspired to take the boys to church. It’s been WAY too long, don’t even want to admit it but this morning I took the boys and went. It was good, Trey and Levi went to Sunday School and Carlos was quiet but wanted to stay with Mama. That worked for me. Came home, changed clothes and headed out to the pumpkin patch.
We didn’t last long but did pick out 2 big carving pumpkins for the mamas, and each boy picked out a small one. Everyone left happy, it was a good day.
Visit to KiDiMu
Dee had to work on Saturday morning so the boys and I headed off to a garage sale (with Carolyn and her little ones), then got some free waffles at the Blue Ocean Cafe, checked out KiDiMu and their new Arthur exhibit and finally went to the library book sale.
Luckily Carolyn brought her camera with her to KiDiMu and got some great pics. They have a cool kitchen setup and the boys loved pretending to be librarians and “check out” books to eachother and me. Glad it’s not the Blue Man Group display anymore, our guys really didn’t get into that one so much but I will miss the belly patting song that played repeatedly. Don’t worry moms, now it’s the Arthur theme that plays non-stop!
Friday Fill Ins
And…here we go!
1. I enjoy my boys.
2. Life can be a challenge, but in the end it’s all good.
3. In my heart, I know it’ll all work out.
4. Take a tomboy kind of gal, add a little kid-energy and you end up with someone who’s happy.
5. Life has gifted me with amazing, supportive friends.
6. A day without tantrums is an instant vacation.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to the Homecoming football game, tomorrow my plans include the pumpkin patch and Sunday, I want to relax!
The Flip Side
Here are some pictures of Nana and Papa’s version of the days we were in Vegas. The boys were naughty and pushed the limits and all. They had a good time, made blackberry pie with Papa, read lots of books and watched lots of Scooby Doo but I think it’ll be awhile before we’re allowed to leave town again!
Vegas Pics
If you can imagine it…through those windows it’s pure ice! It’s a cool bar for sure, quite the experience.
All aboard, Margaritaville
Yet another bar, more booze
Foot massage after a long day of walking the Strip
No, I’m really NOT that sunburned. Seriously!
Beautiful fountains of Bellagio
Mary thinks the window washers might be kinda hot up there!
The lounge chairs are in the pool, what a great idea.
Arrgh, mornings in Vegas are not easy.
Look at those tourists!
Fun at the oxygen bar, with a monster/vodka drink and a massage.
Bartending competition at Kahunaville, they did some cool stuff.
Oh, Happy Dee!
We were about 3 feet away from these dolphins, it was incredible.
A trip to the liquor store was 1st on our list, we stocked up!
killin time
we are at the airport…sat this morning for a little while at the pool, lost a lutle money then got in one last guacamole fix at Dos Caminos. We are sitting at the airport now and we are really ready to be home.…wondering how the weather is looking in Seattle right now.
Can I post from my phone?
sitting at a coffee shop here, trying it out. Dee and Mary are still asleep but I needed coffee! its great to people watch here, i have seen many who remind me so much of people i know and some i can’t believe I’m seeing. i think the hit in the mullet wig at the blackjack table was my favorite so far.
too many kids here…its really not a family place try kids are up all hours of the night with their parents trying to do Vegas and see it all. I love the bits and miss them terribly but this is no place for them.
Gotta go walk 3 miles (seriously we have walked a marathon just in 1 day since that’s how all the casinos are laid out) to deliver coffee to the sleeping beauties.
how fun to be able to blog from my phone!
