Mother's Day 2010

I think this Mother's Day was the best one I've had yet. I slept in until ten and awoke to some delicious quiche a la Josh, a clean house, and happy little boys with warm "Mommy Day" wishes. I got some gardening done, but the weather was not fully cooperating. It's still raining today so my flowers will just have to wait. As soon as it lets up I am going to plant my flower boxes! Maybe tomorrow... anyway...



Later on my friend and her 4 girls came over so the Mom's could escape for coffee while Josh and Adriana watched the kids. They successfully wrangled, fed, and even did crafts with 7 kids for nearly 4 hours. We Mom's had a great time. Just what every mother wants... a break from the kids for Mother's Day (hahaha). We were still able to get the kids to bed at the usual time. Noah was sad to see everyone go. Tristan sang "Happy Birthday" to me before he went to sleep, not being able to see a difference :) I was most definitely fine with that.

Once the boys were all down Josh and I headed downtown for a few hours. We had a great time! It's been awhile since we went out and actually had a good conversation. That's just how marriage goes sometimes... what's left to say, really? hahaha. I'm tired today. The weather doesn't help at all. All of us out here are starting to literally get angry about the weather. It's having an effect on our moods. It's not supposed to be under 60 in May, let alone 32 in the morning... I should NOT have frost on my car in MAY!!! Dear Spain, get a grip!





Noah had a concert at school on Friday and he was outstanding :D Cutest little dance EVER! He was so happy we were there. He kept waving at us and making sure we saw him and liked his dancing and singing. I will always be at this stuff! I can see how important it is to him and he's totally worth it :)

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
