Why the heck do I call it Wordless Wednesday?

You know when you're soooo busy that you don't realize that your busy and you can't even remember saying that your busy or even seeing that busy is all over the calendar ... Well it's been that kind of busy here!
Spring schedule of sports and activities haven't even begun but I'm still busy and exhausted.   I've been neglecting the bloggy blog world and haven't been posting much..  Maybe I'm catching something or maybe its the season to be tired...
So today I leave you with a little of what we did today... it was a dancing night... so the kids dance.. and yes it was to some tunes that some might not approve of... but I'm taking it back to the 80's where breaking and dancing and taking up all the floors was cool :)  So here you go... (and if you are on the computer you might be able to hear the song that they were dancing to)

I love their faces... and how they get into it.. :)

Silly silly girl

She cracks me up... Seriously she says things and all I do is nod my head and laugh.. cause that's my girl.. A bit of everything.. and definitely silly.

So, today she was taking a look at the phone.. (yes I gave in and got the  new/used iphone from the hubby).  She likes to text family members and talk to them when we are in the car going from one place to another.  Tonight she was looking back at the text that was on there for one of my cousins.  My cousin Ara and her are really close.  Ara is like her  big sister... So she's checking all the old text that we had between Ara and the the family... So the conversation went like this..

Lala: Mama can I look at your phone and look at the texts...?

Mama: What text are you going to look at?

Lala:  The ones we sent to Ara.

Mama: Sure..

Long pause....

Lala:  OMG Mama, I didn't know that Grandma and Grandpa signed up for dodgeball... Have they played?  Do they really play? When are they playing?

Mama:  What?? what are you talking about?

Lala: Well on the text to Ara it says... "My Mom and Dad signed up to play dodgeball"


I paused for a little bit... looked at her and nodded my head and laughed...

Mama: Lala, that text YOU sent to Ara. Your grandma and grandpa are not playing Dodgeball... Its us YOUR mama and daddy... Aye Lala...

and we were cracking up... imagining my mom and dad playing dodgeball.. its possible... but a funny thing to think too.. :)

Wordless Wednesday... things happen for a reason

I believe that things happen for a reason.  And sometimes not so good things happen to those I love but I'm a big picture person... and because of some of the reasons that things happen... well this is the outcome... and all I can say is... love

So here is my Wordless Wednesday the things that happened and the reason/outcome.

The what happened...

THE REASON/OUTCOME

I came home early and she didn't like it she wanted her Grandpa

I trusted the sun and when we got to the park it was cold.. so ....

Pointing to the moon...

Looking for the moon.

Because it was cold... we cuddled at the park.

He came home and we greeted with a hug... this is Lala's picture of how she see's her mama and daddy :)

My sneaky girl.

Santiago is teething... and we buy and give him stuff to bite.. but he still likes his hand. :(

My baby boy.

 

I only went for a walk.

In previous post I mentioned stories of when people or things got left behind... The teddy bears in Puerto Vallarta, me in Mexico... Traditions that you wouldn't think are really traditions but kind of are.   And I blame it on having hellakids around at that time.  Busy busy busy.

Sooo here is another ... a story of being left behind.

I think it was the summer after I was left behind in Mexico.  Back then we lived out in the country.  And if you know my family during the 80's we would have a summer camp at our house.  All of our cousins from both sides of the family would come over and we would be tenting it outside.  We came up with so many games and were only allowed in the house to eat and go to the bathroom.    Sometimes we would have a dance party in our living room.. Those summers were amazing.  On special occasions my mom or dad would drive us to town to either go to the mall or even watch a movie at our local theater (and if it was cheap... I would have sent us there everyday cause having that many kids over would have probably driven me crazy :) )

So my parents would drop us off at the State Theater.  Drop us off and pick us up later... we loved it.  But that summer we came back.. that summer I was extra paranoid... I made sure that my parents had an eye on every move i made.  So when the movie was over my mom was waiting for us outside the theater.  We all came out and starting packing in the car.  And since I knew it was a long drive home... I told my mom, "mom, I have to go to the bathroom.. don't leave I'll be right back."  I of course thought she was listening to every word I said.. But little did I know that she was busy talking to someone that was also waiting for their kids.

And so I went to the bathroom.. Thinking that I was good to go... 

Our theater.. don't pay attention to the guys in my shot.. they wouldn't move..

Well I was good to go... on a walk of course.  When I got out of the theater.. they were gone...  I stood there for a moment thinking that it wasn't true.. but they were... gone.
So I figured I walk west towards the country.. and eventually end up at my house.  And so I went for a walk. 
I didn't really walk far.. only to the corner.  And when I got there my aunt was at the gas station wondering what the heck I was doing... walking?
And so she took me towards the house, and the next block we saw my mom frantically driving back for me with a terrified mama's face.  And we stopped and I climbed back to the van with all of the hellakids.

and so it goes... I was left behind again.  It wasn't my mama's fault.. it just tends to happen when you have hellakids with u.  In fact I bet I've already done it to one of mine.. and I just completely forgot that i did. :)

 



PS>.. had to share some pics of today... My dad took the babies for a walk to the park.  So when we went to go pick them up.. Ama came running towards us.  And stepped in some dog doo doo.  And so I took pictures of Javi checking and trying to clean it up.  And wouldn't you know that even stepping on dog shit you can still capture the cuteness in that :)

Escaping the blizzard

This week has been a long week. A not so draining week surprisingly... but long week. Papos is doing awesome. In fact he is much happier now to have a new pipi then to have infections like before. And we are happy for him too.

Since we had a little one in pain we did a lot of staying home this week. And although sometimes it was beautiful outside it was still a bit windy for us to go outside and enjoy it... So what happens when that happens... a lot of everything. My kiddos are not inside kids. They go CrAzY if they had to stay inside for a long time.. I don't know what we would do if it was crazy storm weather all the time. But when they get stuck inside... they get a bit "creative". And remember earlier I said my house is a bit random and you can find things all over the place...

Well.. Ama did.. And here is her contribution to this week.

She was in shock that I made a big deal about her drawing on the wall.. But decided to pose for the picture anyways.  And yes.. I did... make her try to wipe it down.. Cause since she is the first one to ever write on the wall with crayon.. not sure what to use.. but she tried :)

And since she is only almost 2 years old... she got distracted with trying to clean the wall that she decided well that the dvd player needed cleaning too.

And so did her doll.

 

And she forgot about cleaning.. that she's going to pick a book.. a chapter book to read to Santiago.  Looks like they both liked it.

 

And heck since she distracted her mama from thinking that she don't need to wash the walls anymore by being cute by reading to her brother... Might as well try to put her shoes on and try to head outside... Cause being inside makes her go crazy.

 

 And guess what.. she did...

But that means my walls are still..... 

 

On the positive side.. She can do great circles :)

PS.. Did I tell you that the Morales came over this weekend.  YES!  It was so pretty today.. That they came out to play!!  and eat and watch the game... And they loved it... even if they aren't smiling in the pics.. they still loved it :)

what a day.. so not wordless day

Today.. was .. and is... a long day... 

I know that eventually this will be a TMI (to much info) blog.  My kids are going to get older and say...really ma, really you had to post that... But I look at it as the new virtual way of scrap booking.  Memories in a blog that they can share with their families too. so today my son today might be a too much information for you .

You see when my boys were born we decided that circumcision wasn't something we'd do... and now I regret it.  I'm no doctor and I sure don't know a lot.. but what I do know is that today was a long day.  The doctor decided that with the infections that he was getting it was the best decision to go on with a circumcision and we agreed. 

My big boy had his appointment today and so preparations started last night.  We kept him up late so that he could sleep in today.. That way he wouldn't wake up hungry.. (umm didn't really work)  So he got up with the kids.. wanting to eat.. almost ate.. but I got the food out of his mouth so that he wouldn't eat.

 and we had an unhappy camper who was not use to the schedule of all of us being home..

 and Miss Thang ... who I took time to dress up cute and comb her hair... and this is what happened 15 mins later.

His appointment was at 11:30... but we really didn't get in till about 1:30.  So my baby boy was hungry because he hadn't eaten since 11:30pm. the night before.  Thank god for DS cause that entertained him for a while.

 and when we were in... He was ok with it.  Before we got his Happy medicine a little girl about Papos age was waiting for her surgery.  She was already taking the happy medicine and we could hear her whole conversation with her parents..
went like this..

Dad: how you doing honey.

Girl: oh ok.. just thinking about if I'm going to die. (in a drunk sounding voice)

Dad: oh sweetie that's silly nothing bad is gonna happen

Girl: ..are you sure they aren't going to cut my head off and sew it back on... (drunk voice again)

Dad:... um...he he .. no they aren't.

I couldn't help but smile.. but i was also hoping that Papos didn't hear so that I wouldn't have to explain to him that no his head would not be cut off... but he was to involved in his DS  to hear miss little drunk girl on the other side of the curtain. :)

And did I fail to mention that on the day of the circumcision was the same day Lala was getting her cast off.  Yeah.. sometimes things just work out that way.

 And so it was a success.. at least for now.. the hours of waiting and waiting for the surgery.. it lasted only about 40 mins.. then we had to wait.. and wait another hour for him to wake up... cause he was tired from not sleeping much the night  before..shhh don't tell . But my big boy.. woke up ... to a smiling mama and he smiled back.. no cry from him. And I thought he was gonna say "hi mama I love you." or "mama i missed you" or just a loving look like thanks mama... instead it was.. "oh when can we go home cause I wanna play my game on the wii".. hmmm I guess keeping him up all night playing video games with his dad... really did work.. in his favor.

 and now were home.. with two less things.. a cast.. and  um... skin.. I know I know I warned you though about it being TMI.. So here you go.. days of recovering.. its been a busy, hospital, off schedule, coming home to a weak belly and throwing up all over the place so that mama and daddy have to mop and clean the rug kind of day... and there are weeks ahead of healing for my boy.. but for now.. all is good...

 Time to relax.

PS... I just got my new 50mm lense... LOVING IT!!!
