Vacation Time!

We're back!

Didja miss us?

We were in Colorado having a blast, I'll get some pictures up soon.

Our dinner discussion tonight:  What is the yuckiest pizza topping you can think of, has to be "food".

Here's our list:
Mayo
Hotdogs and mustard
Split pea soup.

What's on your list?

Nutramigen

Dear Infamil, makers of Nutramigen,

While I respect your company, and all it offers to babies, the sheer stupidity of offering a formula that advertises it is designed for babies with "cow's milk allergy", and then making it out of cow's milk is just plain cruel.

Signed,
Keesler Mama
Yeah, turns out the next level of formula, the kind that's REALLY for milk allergies, is EXPENSIVE!

Summer!

It's almost summer!

You know what that means, right?

Popsicles, Picnics and Pools!

And the time honored question pondered by moms worldwide:

If you pour shampoo in their heads when they're running through the sprinkler, does it count as a shower?

Spring Piano Recital

Yes, it's that time again.  Actually, it was that time.  This was eight days after we got home from our Babycakes adventure.  The kids were disappointed in their performances, but I was delighted they knew how to play at all after more than two weeks with no practice!

Did I Mention It Was Hot?

This afternoon was so goofy, it could only be a three stooges movie.


It was our last day of homeschool co-op, so I was madly stuffing my classroom supplies into the back of my van all day.

And the computer teacher needed me to store some supplies for him too, so I was dragging heavy and delicate equipment down the stairs, praying I didn't drop it.

And it was really hot.

Oh, did I tell you the air conditioner wasn't working?

Yeah, it was hot!

Meanwhile,  Babycakes was insisting he could only be happy if I had him in the sling, glued to my sweaty body.

ALL DAY.

Did I mention it was hot?

I was so delighted to finally pack up my herd and head home!

Until we actually got home, only to discover that some kid had locked the door.

And I discover my key is missing.  Still in the possession of our house sitter.

Rather than cry, I called Hubs, and figured he'd be delighted for an excuse to leave work early!  And delighted he was.

So he jumped in the car and headed home.  After finishing up a few things. 

And we waited,
and waited,
and waited.

Turns out there was construction on the highway too, and his drive was slow going.

 It was gonna be a while.

So rather than waste any more  time, I decided to do some yard work.  I got all the bushes trimmed up in almost no time!

And even had a nice chat with the neighbor.

Finally Princess and I desperately needed to find a bathroom, so we loaded up and headed up the street to a fast food place, where I grabbed us some cold drinks.

Did I mention it was hot?

And THEN I realized why everyone kept staring at us.

It was pajama day at co-op.

And we had participated.

Finally, just a short time before he'd usually get home, Hubs arrived, and let us in.

Only to discover our air conditioner wasn't working.

Did I mention it was hot?

Sharing



I just wanted to share some cuteness!

I still can't believe I get to cuddle this sweetness EVERY DAY!

Big Black Boyfriend Continued

This week was Babycake's baby dedication.  That's the non-dunking version of an infant baptism, since we don't believe in dunking babies.

And you will never believe who sat next to us as we waited for our turn on the stage.

My "Big black boyfriend" friend!

I took the opportunity to introduce her to Hubs by saying he was my "big black boyfriend"!

Her reply to my red headed, pale skinned Irish lad?

 "He is a bit pale, isn't he?"

Braces Be Gone!

Mimi FINALLY got her braces off!

And only nine months late.
Sorry about the fuzzy picture-I forgot my camera and had to use my phone.

I think she looks so much OLDER now!  Where did my baby go?!

Just for fun, Princess got hers on!
