Mr. Moonlight

Last week it was somewhat warm outside. 

It was pure delight.

I was picking the kids up from their grandparents house.  I buckle Faye in her chair first.  Every time.  As I was doing that, Keith stood next to the car gazing at the sky.  I overheard this conversation:

"Mr Moon?  You are so shiny and bright.  Let me fly away with you.  We can fly up in the sky together and go around the stars and maybe play with a ball.  Just lift me up so we can play."


Be still my beating heart!

What a sweet boy! I love listening to little kids talk! Tonight as we were driving home my 3 year old said 'Mom, what's the star song? Look! There are MILLIONS of stars out there! I'm gonna have to sing it MILLIONS of times!' So we sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for the whole 15 minute drive home!

Oh so sweet. I took a similar shot of the moon last week, but I was alone no sweet child by myside to make the moment even better.

I love the moon! I really do. Problem is that our current home borders the BLM land and the Organ Mountains. Where giant packs of Coyotes run. Full moons mean Coyote party time and it is so hard and scary to sleep!

Heavenly Presents

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
