The Atomic Blue

To my utter shock and amazement Brian bought himself a brand new car - a Honda Civic LX - when he went with the kids for a test drive this last Saturday. Isn't it cute....

Brian even went for the "atomic blue" one instead of the plain boring silver he was contemplating. This is Brian's first new car; the first he's owned with A/C, the first he's owned with power doors and windows, the first he's owned with a CD player. I was practically positive we'd be shopping around for 6 more months for a car, but in an extremely impressive 2 weeks of shopping he's brought a new car home. I'm so proud of him! He deserves this!

Now,in looking at this picture please ignore our rockin' out walking neighbor and admire the pile of dirt to the left of the new vehicle. Once the location of the hugest, nastiest, spider and snail ridden hedge on the planet, we are extremely pleased with our soon to be new ultra grande flower patch. Thank you to Jesus Sanchez for removing not one, but two of the neighborhood eyesores. Not only did he defeat the hedge. He also purchased our old Dodge Neon.
Bye Bye Little Neon! Thanks for cruising 124,401 miles with us!

Mother's Day

I'm one lucky mama and Mother's Day is always a terrific reminder. I get extra hugs and kisses. I get great cards like these... I get to enjoy brunch with my mom and my sister. My husband does the dishes and the laundry I didn't get to this week. I climb naked into my attic to retreive Daisy the Cat. My husband takes the kids pretty much all day and I get to make a kid-free run to the grocery store. Ah, pure bliss! And just when I think it can't get any better I get presents too. What a great day!
